Staying fruity / Thursday, January 31, 2008 @ 10:08 PM
Staying fruity
I decided to do this test since I have been on a fruity diet for the past few months. Just because I am a lemon does not mean I am sour ok! Haha! Tomorrow is Friday! Yay! I was not in school today as the school nominated me to go for this 1 day ADHD workshop and apart from the food and the frequent whispered chit chat with Shai, it was pretty much predictable. The workshop was about introduction and basics of ADHD and of course it was nothing new to me. However, the speaker, even though a bit mundane, offered participants to have a 3 hours attachment at his special school. That was interesting so the 6 of us signed up! I have always loved visiting and going for attachments as I think that is how I really learn- by moving about. Sitting down there from 9.00 am to 4.30 pm was torture! I am beginning to think I have ADHD as well. Today too, I received a phonecall from Lin and she asked me permission to allow them to do something which requires me to clean and get my classroom organised! At first I was a bit panicky, I mean, definitely, I am NOT the best around but she reassured me that its not an announcement, but rather an option for others. It was only after I put the phone down that I realised the amount of confidence they have in me. Even my principals reaction to some challenges I had about logistics was shocking to me. Wow. People actually listen to me. Awesome. I know I am talking in codes but I am excited but unfortunately I am unsure who I can share this excitement with! All shall be revealed in about a month's time. Anyway, this week was hectic again but I have come to terms with it. It is part of life and like what Naf said, its normal! Some people who are not aware of the big picture might find themselves dragging their feet doing all the everyday things that we are supposed to do. But that is not the best approach to life isnt it? Its just like bathing. Not everyone likes to do it, but everyone does it anyway! I realised something at open meeting last night. As I saw Ender speaking about the Go Diamond weekend, I cannot believe that I am not there! They get to spend time with Kumar you know. THE Kumar. Next year I am there man. No excuses. I am also dissapointed that I am taking so long to finish last month BOM: Overcoming Time Poverty. I usually read at night before I sleep but nowadays I can fall asleep before I reach the bed I tell you. Changing the time to read to morning is not an option as my day starts as soon as I reached school at 6.40 am. I shall make it a goal to finish this book by end of this week! This was impactful to me: The say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourselves. - Andy Warhol Recently I saw 2 old friends. They were world's apart. One was working as _________ ( I dont wanna say, you might think its you, haha.) and the other is a lecturer in ITE. Both went to school together with me but the latter was 2 years older than me. I was so suprised to see her picture in the newsletter. She must have made it big just to be in the newsletter right? Anyway, I was not shocked because she has always been that someone who will do anything to excel. Challenge herself. That is why she is so successful. The other person was 'simple'. She wanted a simple life and I see her saving and scrimping every little bit of money she earns. She drags herself to work and looks forward to weekeends. There do not seem to be light at the end of the tunnel for her. IS THIS CALLED SIMPLE? I would like to say both 'characters' are fictatious but they are not. One of the characters, exists more in population of people I know than the other. You figure out which you want to be. This weekend is jam packed! However, I am still looking forward to it because only beautiful things are going to come out of it! Have a fantastic, wonderful, fabulous and enjoyable weekend;) |
