Worth the Stress

~<>~ I'm so tired, that I could almost bang my head there.!. ~<>~

=+= Anyways, that is true. We are all stressed out because of the continuous flow of different school things, a very busy schedule, and almost no rest days.


> March 6,7 and 9,10 = The Periodicals

We had our periodicals during these dates. It has been a really busy week, not to mention it was after the NAT Test where we put most of our efforts on. Thinking of it was annoying. Noticing that they can't even give us one little rest day is infuriating. And, to go to school Saturday morning for periodicals is much so annoying and irritating. Most of us had diseases, including me. I had a fever, and severe coughs and colds. That made it hard for me. And so, I thought I was never gonna make it.

> March 11, 12, 13, 16, 18 = Days of Rehearsals

Rehearsals and song practices are more of boring and sleepy than stressful. We had not much to do, and sometimes we even have NOTHING TO DO, except talk and chat with your friends if they would've allowed you to. The sleepy and boring part here is during the song practices. You would get all sleepy and stuff because it wasn't what you would've considered to do, and even more; you just get to sit and open your mouth. Not much like marching where you get to do some actions (robotic actions). Luckily, my fever faded, just a little coughs and colds was left, and so I overcame the sleepiness during these times.

> March 17 = Pay Day

Well it is not really the PAY DAY you might be thinking of. I just called it "Pay Day" because this is the part where you hear and realize that all those stress and efforts was just worth it. Coz this was the day when they will announce who will receive different kinds and color of medals. The first kind of medal to be announced was the "Conduct Awardee". I had never thought of myself being the Conduct Awardee due to my behavior, and never expected it. The next was the "Sports Award" then again I never excelled in sports. So let's just move fast forward. They were about to announce the Academic Awards starting with "Bronze". I was wishing and dreaming to have another bronze medal, but they didn't announce my name. It came to "Silver" and I was kinda' losing hope. But then again, expect the unexpected, my name was announced and the first thought that appeared on my mind was

"Finally, I got that "Silver" thingie, a dramatic entrance and a special mono block chair to sit on"
