For every day for the past few weeks, I've been juggling. Literally. The mornings melted into evenings, the hours into days, sometimes endlessly long, sometimes they abruptly came to a halt. And all these days just melted into weeks, and now I'm only five days- wait, make that four!- away from going home!
So why juggling? Well, for more than one reason. Literally and otherwise. It's been almost 6 months since the new coach came in and practice started, but I still cannot juggle more than 5! Disgraceful. It's just frustrating. No matter how many times she says "move where the ball goes, ankle tight, follow the ball", I just cannot get it. Help!
Speaking of other forms of juggling- here's a picture of what one of my average days looked like-
6:30 AM- Wake up!
7 AM-8:30/45- Football practice
10-4 PM - Class! (in between practice and class- running back to take a quick shower and gobble some breakfast down! I think my taste-buds are permanently damaged from 'tequilla-ing' smoking hot tea =P)
After class is when things get hazy - everything from dance practice (yes, I danced!), CSA meetings, getting things for assignments, shoving down dinner, nearly missing the curfew. Running back to hostel!
After 10 PM, slipping in an episode or two of 'House', contemplating starting an assignment/essay. Abort mission - Just before midnight- light's out!
It took about two weeks for eight of us girls to put together an awesomely fun dance for 'Blossom's the University's biggest Inter-Deanery Fest. - Haha. As incredible as it sounds, I danced, and guess to which song? - AIKA DAJEEBA!

Also, CSA (Centre for Social Action- the semi-Non-Governmental University Organization that I volunteer at!)has been perhaps at its most active, this semester. We've pulled of several events and got a bunch of extremely enthusiastic first-years. So proud of them! You can catch the pictures in Facebook!
Did I also mention that I ran a marathon, well no, not 42 km, but 5 km. Non-stop! It was to raise awareness for HIV-infected children. It was especially targetted at this Chilrdren's Home that CSA often works with. Despite moral judgements and opinions that you may all have, this is perhaps not the best way, but I definitely think it's one of the ways to help them out.
It's been a very crazily eventful half-semester, I've had time to think about nothing else except work and other related things, which is my present. Stimulating conversations, food for thought, debates in my mind. It's worked to a big advantage, preventing my thoughts from straying to unwanted places and inducing negativity. Overall, I've managed to stay positive about everything (except perhaps about not finishing all the books I wanted to read =/ ). However, things are quieting down now, all submissions done, no more CSA events, seeing mother dearest after 6 months, my beloved City of Joy awaits my home-coming Christmas time begins!
