So at the start of every October I go through hell. Then at the end of every October things change.
And when things change I tend to forget all the hell I've been through and just think about the year as a whole. Of course that's not the only thing I do. I do other crap like shop, watch movies (usual girl things), tweet, chat, exercise, sing, dance, write, fantasise about skydiving, SLEEP, but that's not the point.
Point is, I'll probably be reliving my precious memories through this post, so don't blame me if things start to get all fluffy and perfect. Of course I have bad memories, but those aren't worth remembering. If you ask me, I'd rather save all my brain space for the happy ones. I always stick to believing that right now, on earth, we need to experience happiness. Death is inevitable, so when we die we'll be deprived of the chance to ever experience happiness again. So why not treasure the chances we have now?
Back to the memories.
I remember finding out my class at the end of last year through the school email. After a bad 2010, I was hoping history wouldn't repeat itself. I got the wonderful news that my good friends were with me and what really comforted me was the fact that it would stay this way until we graduate. Now that was a good way to start the year.
This school year for me has, without a doubt, changed my life in so many ways. I thank the school for organising these priceless class-bonding activities. OBS makes it into my hall of fame without a doubt. It was by far the best thing I've ever experienced. And honestly, I think I would die for a chance to go back there again. A couple of hours of rock-climbing and kayaking would be quite perfect. They say it's the hardest stepping stones you remember and I gotta say that I agree fully.
You know, the year has really forced me to come out of my little shell and make more friends. Right now, I think I'm probably friends with the whole 3E. And of course, I treasure the other friends I ever got the pleasure of meeting this year, last year and every year I've lived. I'll never forget all of my friends.
So June arrives. Then July. And after half a year goes by, you always wonder why time passes so quickly. July 15th and 16th. RYC. I was grouped with Sheryel and other lovely people I had the chance to meet. I met even more during my meaningful CIPs at highpoint. Up until this point, I think I lost count of how many great people I met this year.
Then September arrives, and the next thing you know, October arrives. I turned fifteen in the funniest way. Then I realised how simplicity actually creates the best memories, unless you're a materialistic dick. Celine, thanks for being the first to wish me on the phone even though twelve midnight isn't an appropriate time under the circumstances. I'll always remember how you counted the minutes.
Now, it's mid October. In 2 days time I'll be proud of the fact that my sister would grow a year older. Strangely, it feels like I cannot get enough of the ending year. So many wonderful things have took place this year and a mere blog post isn't enough for me to describe this amazing year.
But hey, ROCs has yet to arrive. I shall wait until November. There'll be more.
