Thoughts from 18/5/05 Last friday, rugby 7's aside tournament. If you just look at it like that, there isn't a problem; but that's the origin of all my problems starting from that day. First game of the day, we lost. But in the last 30 seconds of play, I was running with the ball. Dodged the first person and ran into a second. The guy grabs a shirt and literally throws me into the ground (hence the name shirt tackle). Apparently, I bounced very high. The play ends there, I flip the ball to the ref and get ready for the next play. The something feels wierd in my left shoulder and feels like its about to fall off or something, so I kneel down (signifying that I was injured) and my coach took me off the field. While walking off, my shoulder area started to really hurt. A therapist checked me out, and i had a broken clavicle (collar bone). Went to the hospital, got a figure8 strap (dunno what's it really called) and a sling and some painkillers. Okay, so i have a broken collar bone. I am in immense pain, my left arm is rendered useless and every little movement causes pain. *^%#%%^*#$^#.... worst thing, this friday is grad. I had a baseball game, a dinner/dance, after party, breakfast party the next day, and a country party. Life sucks. Now with this stupid injury, I am restricted to only the dinner/dance and my mom is trying to get me out of WATCHING the baseball game. UGH. And ever since my injury, she's been trying to help me with everything.... like... EVERYTHING. I can understand how she wants to help me, but ffs, leave me alone and let me learn how to deal with things alone. Thoughts from 19/5/05 Ever found a book that could bring you to every mood possible? Get you out of a cranky/pissed off/depressed mood? Well, I was really pissed off at my mom for not letting me go to the country party, but after reading "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul" (apparently, a "girl book" according to Charlie...) it took me out of being cranky and I guess I matured a bit from understanding some of the material they have in there. The one that really made me understand is "What happens in a day is nothing compared to what happens in a lifetime". Going to the country party is just 12 hours of my life. I'm going to forget about these 12 hours soon enough (as my brother did so 4 years ago), so now i'm set on staying home and studying for the chinese dictation and reading exam i missed last week! joy >.> oh well, many lessons learned from this short episode in life =p On a quite random note, since all my physical activities have been posponed by this injury, i'm going to get SO fat >.> and last but not least..... GRAD PARTY/DINNER TOMORROW!!! W0000000TZ ^__________________________________________^
