Ninety-Nine
First week of school. Over.
I'm exhausted.
It's the being a prefect thing.
Being a prefect isn't really a tiring gig, unless you're a Pre-U student. Especially a Pre-U 2 student. Not only do we have to keep an eye out for students, we also have to organize a lot of things: events, competitions, briefings. It involves a lot of meetings, proposals, chasing after students, chasing after teachers. There's always something that needs to be done, and always something that gets in your way that requires a massive leap of effort and patience.
I don't think people appreciate or understand what we do. I sure never did. People just don't know the effort and energy that we put into what we do. We always try so hard, despite the many limitations that we have. It always bums me, then, when people say that the events that we have organized or the ideas that we have come up with are boring or unnecessary or just plain blah. We give it our all, and for some people it's never enough. I mean, it's easy for them to say, right? What do they know? I'd like to see
them doing what we do, and still say the same things they used to say at the end of the day.
But it has its rewards, of course. I do enjoy the organizing and planning and discussing: it's fun. And I've definitely learnt a lot of important things. So it's good, too.
But, people. A little thanks, please. Just a little. It would totally make my day.
Well, in any case, I'm glad the weekends are here. Time to recharge with family, coffee, music and cartoons.
