私の生きた証拠

Speech contest is over. I got my exam grades. Life has changed, but Ayako-sama’s brilliance remains as undiminished and as unfettered as the day I fell in love with Lafiel (and by extension, Ayako-sama herself) on that hot afternoon in 2004 (or was it 03?)

Oh and thanks to all the folks who showed up to watch my speech (and my getting owned outright) at the Japanese Association! My mentor, Kawakami Chikako-sensei (河上千夏子), my mum (ever long-suffering and the perfect model for even a Japanese lady to emulate), Perry (the oldest and bestest friend I can remember having), my school friends and comrades Changxing, Jon Yee (Sec-chan to me XD) Desmond-chan and Royce-chan, IRC chatbuddy AkaiWolf (AKA ShirokazeAkai, depending on his mood), and Shioya-sensei (who came to watch everyone - 5/6 JC finalists are his pupils anyway) all came down to support me, and here’s a great thank you! I’m sorry for getting owned and getting only third place, and I am also sad that I missed out on a free plane ride to TOKYO. But allow me to lament about that another time, if ever. ^^

Now for mundane matters.

Though I didn’t exactly show it on my face, I was pretty shocked when I read in an article Zhong Zhong passed to me that adolescents (yes, despite my oh-I-am-old-and-useless-and-my-right-foot-is-in-the-coffin attitude towards life, my body more or less behaves like an adolescent’s) don’t get enough. Apparently they need (*GASP*) NINE AND A HALF HOURS of sleep. A day. Who here thinks that isn’t screwed up? Ok fine facts are facts - but trying to get nine and a half hours is well nigh impossible. It’s a question of math. According to my estimate I’m approaching something like 30 periods of class (including PE, homeroom, PW and Chinese but NOT INCLUDING H3 physics), which comes to something like 27 hours. Officially my club activities take up another 14 or so hours, but since I usually skip something call it 10-12. Add in time wasters and necessary soyabean breaks (not an exaggeration; I drink soyabean in maybe 3/4 of all break periods). The result isn’t something to make me terribly happy. And yes I’m not getting enough sleep, though I daresay I’m getting perhaps just slightly less than average.

I need to find my lecture notes clean my room. Can’t put it off any longer.
