Wasted!

Today was wasted, or maybe I should have just called my parents. I woke up with a sore throat, although I wasn't really sure weather it was really one, but it was very dry and hurt anyway. I was looking for some mint, but I finished my Clorets 2 days ago, so I had to brush my teeth and got some Colgate mixed with water and saliva into my throat to feel better. I couldn't tell if last night's disrupted sleep worsened the condition, but I got headaches after I went to school, not even having a chance to think "Shit!". Well, the IVP meeting was rather short and I went to lunch at about eleven. Good thing about holidays is that I can eat more during lunch and spend less cash. But somehow even after parting with my friends before lunch to have a cheaper and lighter meal at the canteen instead of SIM, it still made some of the remaining red blood cells left in the channel from my heart to my brain join the channel from my heart to my stomach and small intestine. I was feeling feverish, even though my brain was functioning well but with the accuracy decreasing a bit, and had to go home instead of going to the Overweight Training. There wasn't any water at home so I couldn't sleep immediately, because I would need a lot of water after waking up, so I boiled some and played RA2 for the meantime. How smart of me! It only took 10 minutes to boil the water and 40 min to complete the 6th campaign with difficulty set to hardest. I was feeling dizzy after that, but couldn't sleep and lay on the bed for 1.5 hrs. Then woke up, unwilling to sleep and watch my anime! After not watching for a few days, I get poor attitude when it comes to work, because the virtual world is what keeps us lively. Then my father came back, and gave me some pills. My headache was gone after 2 hours, and now I am just waiting for my sore throat and hurting ear to heal. The day was really wasted because if I took the medicine earlier, there wouldn't have been so much time wasted.

Camp

Well, it's already 2 days after Band Camp, but reflections are of better quality if done now. I don't know the real reason but most probably it's because of the strong impression of the last day of the camp that is left in a person's mind. OK, first thing is that I want to announce that I feel that Jia Sheng is a Gideon that does not scratch. Basically you should see that Gideon is still NCC-and-Judo-minded when it comes to rules, whereas Jia Sheng is a non-scratching-Gideon who is born that way. Although totalitarianism ensures a definite amount of results, democracy can have 2 times the efficiency, despite the fact that it may turn out to be nothing as well. Therefore, we can say that it depends on the leadership qualities of a leaders. We all know that leaders are born and not made, or rather a made leader is never as good as a born one. Those who are given a chance is called "made" whereas most of the time, the born leader is the one which is hidden. People say leaders have power, but I say they are the weaklings. No leader can deny what I've said, as they can't say that they are born or have leadership qualities. It is the followers who have the right to judge them. So back to the totalitarianism and democracy part, a born leader will ensure democracy to be 100% double and 0% nothing. Just like Sheer Cold with 6 X Accuracies. Everyone who has a talent in something would have an easy time when it comes to that and has 100% success and 0% failure. However, a made leader=no talent. Which means things come from experience and since 失败是成功之母, they must fail once, and this failure means everybody GG, and say "さよなら" to your leadership position. Those who succeeded are merely lucky, as Sheer Cold always have a 30% chance of hitting, but it means they would die next turn. Anyway, there isn't anyone that can fit the BM and DM position in the band, or rather those people who have potential (potential is hidden), are not those who are leading. Leadership, it's not just about the distribution of work and the fairness of law and order, the whole thing is much more complicated, and leaders who don't realize this are what lead to the slow progress of the society.

Second thing, the camp was planned poorly, very poorly. Too much food, no drinks, too much time, which got taken over by band prac, and talentime, which is just something to aid the lack of programmes. I say JiaSheng you say noob, JiaSheng! Noob! JiaSheng! Noob! JiaSheng JiaSheng! Noob of the Noobs!
