In the midst of my very youthful presence in DA, I have many eventful moments in my senior year of High School. I cross stage to recieve my Captaincy Badge for Archery '09 for my school, I have been considered for the Diabolo Performance group, I apply for the Headmaster's Committee for Environment and Cultural. I run the cross country, placing 67th haha (Which is ok... considering there were 500+ boys running, although it is a great deviation from my previous years. 14th first attempt, 22nd second attempt, 43rd third attempt, and now... 67th.) Perhaps becoming more unfit, I feel it's more so other people dedicating more time to fitness, whereas I do not. In addition, The Archery Interschool Semi-Final took place, with my absence unfortunately. We came 4th. Which is a big drop from the qualifying rounds, where we placed second. However, hopefully the team keeps their spirits and I leave my mark as the Archery Captain in a respectable place for the Outdoor Archery Finals.

Anyway, With regard to DA, I have sifted through alot of literature work, and haven't taken a glimpse at the amazing artwork. Whilst reading, I tried to categorise the work. Sonnets, Ballads, etc. Which all have very nice content, and interesting references, but What I noticed is that, now a days.... classic sonnet and ballad structures are losing parts to it. Like Chinese Whispers... where a little part of it is lost.. eventually... This is with regard to in particular the syllables. Are we being too lazy now a days? Do we not realize the importance of this? Am I being too selective? I don't know... But sometimes, I find that one poem that shines. One that follows the rules of structure and content, yet... still manages to break them with originality and flair. I wish I could write with such ability.... DA is all very inspiring.
