hiya people! sorry about the two previous posts. haha. it has been long. lots of tests coming up..so gotta study hard. we did our lit presentation on monday. flora said it was perfect, just that it was too long winded. it seems, our intro itslef was around 10 minutes. yar. anyway. i think we pulled it off lar. i mean, having met only 3 times to prepare this presentation, i think we did pretty well, at least, better than i expected. Nelly did her security thingge very well. i think it was one of the most amusing parts of the play. then...chelsia too. very good. haha. anyway. i think all of us were good. the two hosts too. Today , cleared up our corner together with arathi. now it feels so refreshing. but i doubt how long it will last...less than a week, i guess. soon it will be filled with dust and files. haha. mr freeman once called it a grand pigsty. then, yesterday, mrs mo said our classroom was becoming messier and messier each day. so...oh well... anyway, i cleared up my desk too. i feel so accomplished now, having seen a nice and neat desk, with hardly anything inside. today i lugged home so many files and stuff. i brought home all my art stuff, and my physics and chem files, and that RGS history bk. so many things. i guess i was inviting weird eyes on my way home. anyway. to day, in the bus, there was are really really really amusing, hilarious ballet act. who else did it? none other than our lovely arafat. wat a lovely ballet display! we were all on a vendy bus, and we were standing in the middle, circular area. arathi was carrying her bag, files and all, and was also talking on the phone. before she had gotten onto the bus, she had ran on a really muddy patch of grass. so when there was a sudden jerk in the bus, she just slid gracefully down onto the floor. wat a ballet act! and the funniest part was, even after she slid down, she continued talking on the phone, and made no effort to stand up, until me and josselyn forced her to stand up. so wat it looked like was that she had purposely slid down so that she could sit on the bus floor and speak on her phone..so we named it 'the drowning swan'. haha. arathi, if u happened to be reading this, i am really sorry i had to publisize your ballet act on my blog..but i just had to...haha

This is a really cute baseball poem i came across.
The asst. coaches even read it to us, at their farewell dinner.
[Btw, rightfield is one of the positions played in softball/baseball]

RIGHTFIELD
Willy Welch

Saturday summers when I was a kid
We'd run to the school yard and here's what we did:
We'd pick out the captains; choose up the teams
It was always a measure of my self-esteem
âCause the fastest, the strongest played shortstop and first
The last ones they picked were the worst...
I never needed to ask; it was sealed
I just took up my place in right field

[Chorus]:
Playing right field, it's easy you know
You can be awkward and you can be slow
That's why I'm here in right field
Just watching the dandelions grow

Playing right field can be lonely and dull
Little leagues never have lefties that pull
I'd dream of the day they'd hit one my way
They never did but still I would pray
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run
And not lose the ball in the sun
And then I'd awake from this long reverie
And pray that the ball never came out to me
here in....

[Chorus]

Off in the distance the game's draggin' on
There're strikes on the batter, some runners are on
I don't know the inning, I've forgotten the score
The whole team is yelling and I don't know what for
Suddenly everyone's looking at me
My mind has been wandering - what could it be?
They point to the sky and I look up above
And a baseball falls into my glove...

Here in right field
It's important you know
Ya gotta know how to catch
Ya gotta know how to throw
That's why I'm here in right field
Just watching the dandelions grow
