A better tmr

Going to an old folks' home tomorrow!!! So excited. :) But it seems they can't really speak English or Chinese - only dialects, as everyone says. And I dunno anything except some really basic Hokkien words like paiseh, cheh, cheem, lao -, bi -, and pang-sai. *Haiix* And my CCA days will be increasing from just one day (Thursday) to two days (Thursday AND Saturday!!!)
:'((((((( So sad! Saturday also need to wake up so early! Then what's the point of having Saturday as a weekend? School is slowly but surely eating away at our precious free time - the only time where we get to draw into a corner and sort out the confused thoughts that are running and whirling around inside our head like millions of vortexes. In shorter words, it's the only time where we can prevent ourselves from going mad. AND THEY TAKE IT AWAY!!! That's why more and more students are jumping into arms of Grim Reaper. They call it co-curricular activities - it sounds so fun. Fakers. The guzheng is so heavy and the nails take about 10 minutes to stick 'em on. And I have like NO strength in my fingers to play hard. The seniors keep telling me to "sit up straight and play harder!" I try. But the nails keep scratching against my hand as I finish plucking the string. Cuz we're supposed to, like, draw the finger towards the palm of the hand to pluck the string. And it keeps poking my hand. Geez. Piano is so much easier. :((((( It's also tiring to sit up straight. I suppose it's really all worth it though... In the end I'll still be benefitting. :) I can't wait til I am able to play Guzheng fully! The same goes for French. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces.
