SSS COMMITTEE 2014/2015

"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it."

- We Bought A Zoo

One of the main things that get me by every week. From strangers or barely even friends at the elections, to being able one of the most efficient groups to work with - blindly navigating ourselves event after event, meeting after meeting. 

I remember shaking and having all sorts of thoughts of pulling out from running for the committee position in may, afraid of working with strangers, believing that the person running against me was a much better choice... 

But that 20 seconds of insane courage to be able to convince myself that I will be okay during my speech. The 20 seconds of insane courage to walk up in front of about 40 people to deliver the speech in coherent words. I never thought it would lead me to this - the people, the experience, the stories and the laughter. 

I couldn't be more grateful that through the 20 seconds of insane courage of doing something way out of my comfort zone-

 I found them. 

MINI CLOSURE

The end of Year 2 sem 1 is sputtering towards its closure, where we all end it off with finals. It's what we always work towards once we start the long 12 week journey. It's our goal, our finishing line for the semester.

This semester - like every other semester, passed by way too quick. Events after events for SSS, planning, executing, mid semester exams, projects, deadlines, emily coming down for 2 weeks... all of these added up to my semester and it made it speed up so fast it barely registered in my head that swotvac is just next week.

I wish I was able to blog about more useful and meaningful things, but it's beyond me to think of content to fill this page up, the direction of this blog, the purpose of even keeping this space alive... maybe I should close this place up for good.

Uni life rids me of everything and I feel so numb (I know I've said this a gazillion times but it's true). But I have to give it to the friends that I've made this semester, the friends that I've grown closer to - because they are the ones that made my past 12 weeks of hell slightly better.

On another note, my brother is coming down to say hi in about 1 months' time. Can't wait.
