2013

team meeting last friday. As always, what Coach said made alot of sense to me. Felt as though he was reading my mind (which is not that easy i think). Some confusing thoughts swirling around, but it's all much clearer now. So the racing season for 2011 has ended, it's finally over. Training proper will resume in mid-dec. Looking forward to giving it all i've got. Oh, and just for the record, thanks Coach. for everything, there's too many things to list.

Saw my timetable for next sem, 5 courses are fixed. I can do 5 or 6, so it's up to me if i want to clear the Liberal Studies or a UE, rather, a 1 AU (nothing nice!). But the class schedule is disgusting. As it is I have 2x 8.30am days and 2x late days (5.30pm and 7.30pm). And it's a 5-day week. But no matter, if there's no way, make one! I have made my organiser for 2012!

Biomech paper was last friday, wasn't exactly fun though. Didn't like the ambiguity in the wording. On the reverse, I do appreciate (very much) lecturers who put in much effort to teach, and more importantly inspire. Or for that matter, anyone who gives some of him/herself in what they do. Of course, it's not easy and sometimes it hurts. But as James Counsilman puts it, "It only hurt once, from beginning to end." Haha, I guess lazy people get my goat, or more like those lacking a sense of responsibility. And of course, the third group:

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

—Mark Twain

So yes, i'm making it a point to not care about people/things that leech on me. Good luck (to them). We'll end off this post with another quote by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

"Don't be stupid, you can't do that."

"Yes I can, anything is possible."

"We told you that you couldn't do it."

"At least I tried, you bastards."
