VJ Unite

I must and only trust the Lord, lest I fail, lest I fall. My abilities are but traps if I do not use it for Him.

Orientation 2 in VJC was a disaster, if seen from the outside. It's usually more fun the first round, but the students already there were too loud for the rest of us from 2nd intake to adjust in. But once I got into it, it's fun all over!
Yesterday was a bit of a shock for me. The sheer number of OGLs, the hall was swarming! There were more OGLs than the students needed to be orientated. But then orientation was mostly about cheering and mass dances. Then there was subject combo choosing and CCA selection. We can take as many CCAs as we want, and then drop them if time constraints become overwhelming.

Today, too many things happened! I got posted to the wrong class, because someone didn't compute my subject combo properly. I got sent to Econs instead of Geog! So I changed class after like 5 minutes in my first posting. Then the fun started building, S55 was divided into 2 groups, the slackers/pon-tang people, and the others who did what was right and/or enthu. No need to say which one I joined. I had a lot of fun and made new friends.
O, I did take the KI qualification test yesterday. Took me a long time into the day, but I finally found out I passed. However, I soon found out this meant I had to change class (S41) if I really wanted to take KI. So I was stuck between leaving my new friends and taking KI. It was like co-incidence, thank God for providence! Someone from the new class had to be swapped out in order for me to to enter. And I happened to meet that guy at the HOD office (I am spending way too much time there). He really wanted to stay in S41, he had already been nearly switched out once before. After discussing with him, plus some thought and prayer, I agreed to not take KI. This way we could both stay in our familar classes, although I have to take GP instead. Sacrifice, I suppose, but I believe it's for the best. KI is fun and thought-provoking, but too time-consuming. And it's better for me to do deep Bible study than write about how I know why the sky is blue.
Later, while I was changing the class posting details on a notice board, the glass plane fell out and smashed. Thank God nobody was hurt. I went to the Admin Office to report it; not sure if they still want me to pay for anything, I doubt it. Lolz, between getting used to a new class, sacrificing KI, and smashing a glass plane, I'm really thankful to God that I'm not emotionally distressed.

My voice is unusually low and cracky right now. I must've shouted myself hoarse during the cheering. Still, I don't lose my voice. Somehow I can make noise very well. And dance.. I can't dance. My mind just wasn't developed for body coordination and recognising beats. Though I can think critically, heh, maybe too much..
Physically I have been training too. I'm going to try to practice on some peddling machine everyday, and weights during weekends. I do train with great determination in games: let's see if I can do so in reality.
