185 days

Here's a long long post for not posting a long long post for a long long while.

Life is good. Course is fine. Chess is good. Dance is great. Magic is AWESOME.

The first common test was just a few weeks ago. I'd say I did okay. Fairly well but I know I could do better. And I shall. My coursemates did great too. It's a lot of fun bonding with them.

Chess trainings on Tuesdays are by no means a relaxing CCA. After the sessions my brain is totally fried. If you do not play chess. You would have three things on your mind right now.

1. Chess is boring.
2. Chess is for nerds.
3. I'm going to skip this paragraph.

Anyway. I have seniors there who play really good chess. Might sound retarded but it's fun losing to them. Last week went well. I lost only a game and won the rest. Nowhere near their level though. I'm decent yes, but not good enough.

Dance class is awesome. The instructors are really great and friendly. Though I'm probably like the only person there who has no dance background whatsoever. My friends have their own crews and stuff and I'm just. Me. Meh gotta start somewhere. Why not here why not now right. I suck but hopefully not for long.

Magic is probably the most fun. Of course I am still very much in love with the art of card magic. Few of my seniors there are experienced card handlers and performers. I have so much to learn from them. And there are also beginners. I had a great time sharing my ideas and effects with them. How I wish I had someone to coach me when I was starting out. Still I'm proud of myself today for what I have achieved with my bare hands. And decks and decks of cards. Nonetheless, gotta improve on my sleights, patter, performance, and define my style. I'm not quite there but I will be!

I guess my attitude is what kept me going on and on in my entire life. That good-not-great-could-do better-thinking of mine. I truly believe that if you're think you're good, you can never be better. That's why I am never satisfied with myself. No I'm not really a perfectionist. But if it's possible to achieve perfection then there's no reason not to. I do not aim to be perfect, I aim to be the best that I can.

Psycho shit right.

Alright. Enough of that nonsensical self indulgence. I am still, essentially, ME. Still very talkative, still very random, still very SARCASTIC. Like the other day I talked to Ekko. Actually just yesterday.

Clara : Ekko you permed your hair?
Ekko : Yea.
Me : You did? Kinda looks like you forgot to comb your hair after waking up from bed.
Ekko : Are you tired of living?
Me : Be thankful. True friends don't lie.

Ah. Sarcasm is pure artistic. I love my life. Uh as a summary of everything I wrote of course, not just the sarcastic part.

Last but most, y leyjj jyhq rut k jue. T'b ku fkiir eu fkxq rut yv br jysq. =)
