*The First Obstacle Already*
Day 3 started off rather well, I had a little chat with the teacher handling my Matriculation Group. He is a rather jolly Australian, or at least I think he is Australian, anyway, he is a really fun man to be with and for someone as old as he is, I noticed some really toned muscles along his arms and legs. If you ask me, that's not something you see on most old people.
As I was saying, the day seemed to go on really smoothly. I walked around the school and took some pictures and I must say, they have an amazing collection of statues and sculptures all over the school campus. I saw so many, so so so many. And the trees were all really tall, one of them reminded me of the huge pine tree I saw while I was in kindergartden, its slanted to one side which gives the idea that it will collapse on its own weight, however, it is extremely big, easily taller than the school and still it stands. I admire the strength of this tree and I really want to become as strong as it is in the face of problems and difficulties, which I am sure to meet in the near future. Even sooner than I had expected actually.
But before I get to the main problem, I want to finish the slightly more pleasant portions of today. I dont really want to ruin my mood or your mood so early.
Lets see now, what else is there. Oh. The CCA carnival, it wasn't much of a carnival actually, it was just some groups of students running around running campaigns and booths for their own CCAs. As for me, I intended to go into Photography or at least chess (a little nerdy perhaps, but I am a nerd at heart) Well anyway, I ended up following my friend to his Volleyball practice and when I sat at the bench, I remembered of the old times that I spent on the court. It wasn't really alot, nor was I ever an important player in the team, but I have to admit, admist all the pain and suffering and the belittling if I may add, I had fun. I had fun laughing with my teammates, even if I was laughing at myself, I had fun and that is the most important thing to anyone right now. So I was interested to enter the Volleyball team again, I left my name there. But right now, I am still deciding whether I should be entering the team or not. I mean, sports do take up a lot of your time and with my physic right now, I will not be able to last too long if the traning started to pick up the pace. So I guess my main priority now is to rebuild my stamina and to regain the feel of the ball. My skills have gone with the wind over the many many months of non-sporting activities and I was never good in the first place, so gaining and IMPROVING may be a problem to me.
So, that probably sums up the day in my school. But unfortunately for me, that was not the end of my day.
Just right after I finished dinner, I received a call from the school. I was surprised, puzzled, shocked, afraid, nervous. I was a whole wreck of emotions. When I picked up the phone, it was from the....actually, I forgot who called me....but the thing is, ALL and I mean ALL the subject combinations that I have submitted have been rejected. All of them were rejected and its because I am the only person that chose those combinations. Physics and Biology, I knew it was a weird combination and I tried to live with it for the 4 years in my Secondary school life. But, I did not think that none will take it in the school. It wasn't a matter of a few people taking the combination, fact is, I am the only soul in Anderson Junior College to take that combination now. That practically ruined my day and possibly my entire week, and worse still, my entire life is the problem is not going to be solved. Please don't ask me why I did not take Chemistry while I was in Secondary school, because I am really sick of repeating that reason ok? Thank you for your understanding.
So, right now I am really upset about everything and wondering what would be going on in the meeting that I am attending tomorrow. This is really a great start to my schooling year right here in Anderson. Honestly, I hope it does not get any better, if you know what I mean. I have no idea what is install for me in the future.....
