11:52 AM

As of late, I have been pretty annoyed with myself - over the recurring and nagging thought that crops up due to my complete lack of ambition. Since young, my career paths have been so diverse and fickle that I have sort of given up trying to think of what I really want to do when I grow up. I guess you could say that I'm in a pretty grumpy mood right not accumulated from various factors such as,

1)Sleep
Clearly I am someone who needs alot of the aforementioned to function normally. Oweek camp is not exactly as exhuasting as Arts Camp, but I guess apparating and disapparating off school grounds for all my "extra-cirricular" activities really leaves you super tired. Came home on Thursday night and slept at 10, and last night I hit the haystack right after I came home at 11plus.

2)My tendency to be a walking magnet for accidents
As if pre-camp injuries are not enough, yesterday I just had to strain my ankle and now it's superbly swollen because I disregarded it thinking the pain would subside. And of course, now I'm getting the lecture 101 from parents on over exerting myself etc etc.

3) Bidding for modules
Since this is sort of my virgin experience making decisions independently on my academia, I was very blur and kept hounding Val my new friend from camp on what I can take and what I can't. Bidding is actually quite stressful! It's sort of like watching a live stock market exchange online; the persistent worries of whether our bidding points are high enough, the impulse to login and check the status, the speculation on which modules are popular and which are easier (no exams). Anxiety running high and all this sort of dampened moods Friday, despite the very entertaining QUDDITCH MATCH which R house OWNED action number 2! (:

2 days of Oweek has so far been quite okay I must say, not as hyped up as AC but still pretty nice atmosphere. Plenty of girls in the OG, not much guys - need to get used to moving around in such a big group, but everyone is super friendly and polite (2nd day only right). Bitching sessions actually bond, haha. And so does cracking idiotic jokes, random hibyes in the toilets, and so many hthts with various people that I've just only met. Wish there were more freshie councillors, sort of miss the reggae people too, but oh wells new friends, new beginnings (:

I <3 my OG, I <3 my super enthu R House and I really hope this marks the start of an exiting campus life ahead (:
