Equilibrium

My physics teacher teaches us a lot of things. He even has the ability to use physics to relate to real life. Like how humans experience new things and may find it difficult to cope or maybe feel happy about it. After a while, equilibrium will be reached and you'll be back to your base happiness. It's kind of true. I thought that I would have lots of time to slack and do many things after my season ends. But it has ended for some time already and I still find myself having a packed schedule. Surely, things are better now that I don't go home at 830 anymore. On fridays, I even get to go home at 1230!

The most irritating thing in my life now is B chinese. I have 3 hours of B chinese every week, which means that 2 days in a week, my peers get to end lessons 1.5 hours earlier than me. It's ok for now cause they have CCA but once that is over, I can just start imagine the smirks on their faces. ' bye bye justin :) ' I don't know how to describe the way lessons are conducted. 1/2 of the time, the class has only 1/2 attendance! Of course, I seldom skip lessons even though the temptation is so great. The teacher is so slack man, recently we've been watching pirated movies in his classes that are either, not in english or have subtitles in chinese! The teaching part- there's a passage. He'll read to us in chinese, and we'll translate it to english. This way, he can learn english and we can learn chinese! ahh...

I've been wondering about something for quite some time already. Whatever you train up, you'll be exceptionally good in that area. Is that true?
I've been in track since sec 1 and before that, I don't think I ran fast. After 4 years of training 4 times a week, running in macritchie, bishan park and various places, training with ankle weights on, and competing in inter-schools (without success!), I don't think 2.4km is any difficulty. I didn't know that running was something to be afraid of until I came to JC! but of course, it's scary to anyone who doesn't run at all. I always think that I'm quite slow, because I never understand how runners from hwachong can run at impossible speeds, like <16 minutes for 4.8km. Were they born with superior genes or do they just train 7 times a week and it's really cause of hard work?
I guess if you sacrifice/practise enough, you'll get what you want. Like how bob can play soccer so magically, weiying thrashing people in badminton, yewliang attracting all the girls. And that's probably the only way to do well for A levels, sacrificing time ..
