If I had my way, I'd wake up for just one day without any worries in my lollipop head. I'd start the day free as the birds who sing to the dawn every morning at my study room window, with a sentimental Frank Sinatra song in my heart. I won't worry about the housing bills, or my university applications, or my exhuastion, or the conundrum of issues that revolve around my head like a babyborn's mobile. No.
If I had my way, I'd live for long rides on a commuter free bus, the ones I take every Friday night back home after church. I'd think about politics, literature, pretty scrapbooks, dainty teacups on a porcelain plate, and frilly wrap dresses. I'll live a carefree life immersed in good fellowship, cosy eateries and soulful Jazz music on the ukulele.
I'll write Dark children's books, fight for the Truth at all costs, bake perfect cakes, pluck money from trees and ensure the silence in a library is kept. I'd speak up in the middle of a meeting, slap an obnoxious customer, balance on a taut wire and travel the world.
If I had my way, I'd walk barefoot with you in the middle of a highway in the dead of the night for the thrill of it. We'd eat ice cream in the rain, share a broken umbrella, curl up on the couch with hot mugs of cocoa, leave our dinners burning on the stove because we are too absorbed in feisty argument.
Only, I don't have my way.

Alfresco was awesome. It was the highlight of the week, getting to enjoy the amazing company of CA, light hearted talk with the teachers, soaking in the CJ vibes at dusk. Dinner was great as well, catching up with your favourite bunch of people is just really heart warming. Weekend whoosed past too quickly, Canteen today was great because so many of us turned up and helped out. Even though I admit it wasn't very organised, what made it special (and for every Canteen) is that you get to work together as a team in the kitchen and immerse yourself in the company.
Stepping down comes with mixed emotions, but I hope I did not tax the other leaders too much in the group - after all, how much guidance can come from one who is lost herself.

I'm tired.
