journal entry for 1st week of February

Chinese new year was suppose to be a carefree one and you just wait for those red packets to come to you, but my one was totally the opposite. Five consecutive days of volleyball practise and no red packets? If you think your had a bad chinese new year, have mine then. I went for the MSSS the following day and the torturing thing is that you have to wake up very early just to catch the bus. Te competition was truly exciting. The intensity of the game, those shoutings form the supporters, the close score... the feeling of being there was undescribable. It was as though your heart was going to stop any moment now. Unfortunately, we only came out as first runner up. Everyone was definitely down for not emerging as champions but we were still grateful we got a silver medal. Things go back to normal as i go back to school, and there was piles of homework to catch up on. When i reflect on what happened over the week, I realized that I did become tougher in facing stress and pressure.
