Losing the sparkle beneath the dust

It's the holidays!!! :D:D:D well, that's the kind of reaction you'd typically expect from someone gearing up for the holidays, right? or at least from a sugar-loaded overly-high tween girl. that's the kind of feeling i want to feel too. in reality though, it's closer to "huh what? the holidays? if you say so..." i guess i've reached that stage in life where the holidays just lose that sparkle which they had when we were seven. all i see is a mountain of homework and not enough time to finish it.

but still, holidays are holidays, and of course fun is an obligation! monday and tuesday were the hockey camp. first day started of with PT, then we played games and finally watched a horror movie. the scene of us watching the movie was just laughable: half of the people chickened out before the movie even began and were listening to music and playing cards during the movie, and out of the other half, majority were huddled together and hiding behind each other. so that left me alone actually watching the movie with my eyes opened (it sounds impossible to watch a movie with your eyes closed, but somehow they managed to do it).

day 2 of the hockey camp started off with a morning jog to the botanical gardens, round the big pond and back, then a screening of Coach Carter. it seems like no matter how many times i watch it, i'll never get bored of it. and i've watched it 4 times already i think, so that's saying quite a bit. anyway, camp was officially over after lunch, but we still had a match against seniors again at delta. i cant rmb the score, but i think the seniors won 4-3 or something like that. really played off-form this time due to lack of sleep from the camp, so hopefully we'll do better for saturday's pitch and of course our final match against TPJC.

have to go to ACS(I) tmr for the PSC PAE thing. basically it's a test used to assess potential PSC scholars, but somehow the description included in the email is underwhelming. from what i can tell, the test will be like one of those random IQ tests together with a personality quiz, almost like the ones you get on facebook. hmm, maybe PSC is cutting their budget or something (if you are a PSC scholarship judge reading this, please know that it is a JOKE :X ). perhaps a mugging session after that, so that i can finally start doing some of that long-overdue homework. oh well, we'll see tmr.
