Saw my first international volleyball game today, thanks to a good friend. =] The only downside was that I had to be there at 8am, though the matched only started at 10.
It was really great though, both the boys' and the girls' matches. I think I'm hooked.
While waiting for the second match to start, I met Ale and her dad, and we were talking about how good it would be if disagreements could be settled through sport instead of war. And a tiny adorable girl from Nanjing came over to publicise the 2014 YOG in Nanjing.
Came home to a late lunch, almost fell asleep over my plate, and finally started clearing up all the backlog- emails that need answering, books that need to be finished and returned soon, stuff that needs to be recorded, stuff that needs to be put away instead of being left strewn all over the floor, so on.
Tomorrow is another busy day - violin in the morning, YOV in the afternoon, i think, Raffles Place in the evening and dance rehearsal at night. It's a good thing school hasn't started yet. Less than a week left though, eeps! Though I'm excited =]
"But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like the fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" "
- from On The Road, by Jack Kerouac
