it's the last day of the whole year! I'm sure all of us have different and fresh outlooks on this new year ahead!
but as our teachers in school always say, we should always take some time to reflect on our past experiences to help us learn more about ourselves... after all, we are who we are because of all our experiences!
i would say that this year has been the fastest but most eventful year in my whole life thus far. now, why would a young person like me say something like that? after all, i have many many years (i hope) ahead of me.
the first big change was the progression into a new educational institution. besides the exponential increase in academic work, i have also found myself a more vibrant social life. i mean, in the past everything in my life revolved around dance, school, ballet.... and that was it. i would wake up early in the morning and go to school, try to finish all my homework during breaks and recesses because i'd have ballet in the afternoon and dance rehearsals at night. rehearsals would end at 11pm and by the time i got home, washed up and changed into a fresh set of clothes, a new day would have come. such was my life for most of the time.
but now, with the introduction of new communities of practice and interaction, i am proud to say that..i do actually have some people i can talk to, laugh with and just hang around- doing nothing.
there's nothing much to reflect about my academic results because it's always the same thing over and over again.... "good! but can be better!"
about my dance, well... let's see... this wasn't really a great year for my dancing because well, firstly i got diagnosed (well not really) with this cracked tailbone but i still had to dance becaue of my self-obligating nature.
and then i got a little slack in the dance club and didn't turn up for practices.... but it wasn't really my fault because some were really last minute and i really couldn't make it! oh well....
at least i showed my face for booth duty during open house though! at least i did something for the club! =)
on the ballet side... let's just say i got slack as well.... haha... and yes i went out of practice for a while but now my motivation is back and.... i really want to do my last exam well.... i did better than expected for my advanced 1 exam and i'm looking forward to conclude my ballet career with a good grade on my last and final advanced 2 exam... wish me luck, everyone!
emotionally, i'm still stable so.. no worries!
physically.... there's some problems with my body but i think i can handle it... sometimes i think my body hates me because of all the physical stress i put it through but i think my body can take it... dance in school and training and ballet outside.... my body's started to hurt in the knees and the hips and the back (wow i sound old) but all i need is a few doses of glucosamine and calcium to get me back on track! and my dad still thinks im fat so... i guess maybe the stress next year will reduce me to more skin and bones! *haha*
-------------------------------------------------
my new year resolution(s)
- do well in exams (of course) - get selected for advance 2 exam - train hard and maybe (just maybe) get into team? - take care of myself and my battered body - pray i don't get any more injuries - cherish the time i have with my friends =) - try not to spend so much money (hahaha)
