Blogging in school again. :P

Today our TA came in to sort out our new laptops and the existing PCs. My colleague and I have switched to our new Dell laptops and we've shifted the two desktops to the two music studios. It's hilarious when I want to type something and I pull out the keyboard drawer only to see that it's empty. LOL. This will take some getting used to. But I like using laptopts, somehow they feel more personal.

It's the last 1 1/2 weeks of school for me, and even though I keep moaning about it 2 terms have passed really fast. I have 4 weeks of summer vacation to look forward to. Of course there are things that I'll need to do (CE camp the first two days of the hols, and the concert on the first Friday in June, preparations for Italy...), I have the luxury of waking up later than 6am and staying up past 12am. Not forgetting the luxury of time - to read all the books I've bought but have yet to read, to play EQ, to sing more, maybe fix my broken harp strings and play it (!!), sort out my messy room (!!), meet up with friends I haven't had time to see and basically do stuff I've been wanting to do for the longest time. My poor Nikon and Canon cameras are lying there unloved... :(

Most of us make resolutions for new years. I'm going to make one for the coming summer break, because these lazy days tend to end up just that - lazy days, without accomplishing anything. And before I know it the 4 weeks would have passed and I wouldn't have done a single thing I intended to do. So here is my summer resolution - sing sing and sing (not only for Italy but for the Grade 6 exam!), read read read, EQ EQ more EQ, rest(!), catch up with friends, learn more about and do more photography, write more (whether it's blogging, or random bits of mental utterances in my paper journal or incoherent attempts at creative writing...), listen more, see more.

Especially to listen and see more. I hate dashing through a day with no time or mental energy to really see and hear the people and things around me. Most days, even if college ends early for me, I'm usually too tired to think about or do much apart from a short EQ session in the evening, or to flick on the telly and stare. Where's the me who believes so strongly in experiencing life aesthetically, holistically? During term time, my ability to absorb experiences is akin to a bowl that has been worn so full of holes by stress and work that I'm more like a sieve. LOL. :(

Anyway, I'm going to try and make full use of the summer break to recharge so I'll be a nice, shiny new bowl when the new college term starts and when I head off to Italy. I want to go to Italy with a child's mind, unprejudiced, unbiased, eager to absorb everything that I come across as if I were seeing the world for the first time in life. Alrighty, time to go patch up this old sieve.
