| | I realised I only blog nowadays when its stuff concerning dragonboat. Well, considering how much time I have sacrificed for it, I supposed its would also spur me enough to get down my lazy ass to start updating this dusty blog.
In anycase, the IVP line up for MR500 (next week at bedok reservoir) was announced and I am seriously, seriously shocked at my omission. Its been one year already. I was not surprised last year when I was not in for obvious reasons but this time its different. I have improved, stronger, better stroke but alas, not inside the IVP (even as some juniors did made it). sigh. I am waiting to ask the captain about the decision this weekend, since it has been bugging me since Thurs.
Excuses, reasons keep running thru my mind as I justify their decision and also my own objection. I am definitely not the slowest runner in the boat, or the weakest- that I can safely say. My stroke cannot be the worse also. So I have no idea why I was not included. The ONLY reason I can think of and possibly accept is the weight issue. Not many people know this but when you select a line up for the boat, you have balance 10 men on each side. So I thought: the reason why I could not be in the line up is possibly due to weight management. My inclusion would have made the right side lighter.
I dunno, but thats my speculation. I just have to wait for the real answer.
Why is this so important and bothering me? Obviously... I spent 1 1/2 years of my time training up for this. How long more must I wait to get into the IVP team? 2 years? 3 years or perhaps even til my honours year then I am good enough? If I am unfit, tell me. Where I go wrong, I need to know so I cant correct it now and change!
Neither am I am questioning the captain's decision. He has his reasons I am sure. I just need to know why.
In any case, this has been a relaxing and enjoyable semester for school work as I take on only 4 modules and all of which I like. So far, so good. I am really aiming for the best CAP ever. Must not be complacent like last semseter. On a better note, I scored for my mid term which is the best mid terms ever! (I have a tendency of screwing up mid-terms) I am looking get a decent score for today's 2nd mid term as well.
On a personal note, I am beginning to love academia more and more. I can so totally imagine myself as a professor! geek alert! But who cares, brains are sexy. |
