dead.tired.
2:54 AM
I've not blogged in ages. Absolute ages. And I am aware of that. Fully. There's always something else to do. At the moment being in the UMSA executive committee is fully consuming me and my time. We're at the height of Lantern fest prep, our biggest fundraising event for the year and my past couple of days was spent marinating and skewing chicken and making curry puffs. The kind of work that I don't want to be reminded of so I will conveniently "forget" to mention here.
When I'm not helping the team out, you'd normally see me surfing trademe.co.nz for an apartment and busily arranging viewing appointments with different people. Think I've scoured the whole of Auckland for all sorts of apartments and know what the majority of them look like. Anyways, I think I might have actually found my needle in the haystack but I don't want to say anything too early in case I jinx it. Will update once I am finished with this hectic period.
Sponsorship drive was today, had to put on a face as thick as make up would be on a geisha's face and go up to random shops to plead for sponsorship. Felt accomplished after I achieved my target for the day. But I can foresee how much more i have to do for UMSA now that the year has begun and already I feel like lashing out at people like I never did before.
Life thus far has been a learning curve for me. There's just too much to learn. Too many decisions to make. And for a person who becomes impatient and agitated easily, for a person like me, sometimes things seem even more difficult than the actually are. The coping skills of human beings amuse me. Somehow, we learn how to cope, adversity or no adversity. I'm actually excited to see the outcome of all of it. How much more of a competent person it makes me become. And along the way, I'm grateful that it's ok to have fun to fall and to laugh. It's everything along the way that keeps me sane.
