Now that I've stepped down..

Investiture was yesterday, and man was it tiring.
I have a lot of mixed feelings when it comes to the thought of stepping down. Finally, we are free. We are not (that much) restricted. Yet at the same time, the thought of us not gathering in the morning, having the VPs messaging us to rush us to do this do that, feels kinda lost. Especially this morning, the first morning in one year whereby we need not have to do duty. I see councilors coming to the flagpole area, trying to mingle and wondering, can I be here? Where do I go now? Since last week most of the councilors did not clock for fishtank. Investiture preparation was really busy. Even though I am not int he investiture team, I tried to help as much as possible, mainly by doing the video montage, which I was afraid it wouldnt turn out good. On Investiture day, even though I've watched it many times, since I was the one who did it, I was on the verge of tears when I watched it, so did many other 29th. I tried to hold my tears back, and once I left the LT, I just broke down. I don't know why, I know we will still see each other, we will still hang out and all, but it just feels different. Like we know that this invesiture symbolises, departure. And many other 29th also cried, cos I influenced them. I love my 29th. I really do. Working with them was really enjoyable and it really is a once in a lifetime experience. Something I'll never forget. Had a blast after investiture. Had a "party" in LN, dancing, taking photos, doing stupid things etc, while the 30th was cleaning up, and watching us play too. In a way I felt pretty bad, but we deserve all this fun. It's their turn to do the hard work, and they will be able to celebrate next year. Dinner with 36/41 councilors yesterday, the MOST SUCCESSFUL council dinner ever. It was really enjoyable to be able to have a dinner with most of them, on the day we stepped down. Thinking back, what would be of me if I didnt choose to come to JJC? Or participate LINE camp? If I didnt choose to be in Planning Com? If I didnt wanted to be a cabinet councilor? Would I still be who I am today? Definitely not. Looking forward to 1st May. As long as the 29th are there, it'll be awesome. :) |
