I went sailing, and realised just what I missed out on when I decided not to change my course to DMR. Shit, how could something be so addictive? The feeling while being out at sea, it is nothing short of peaceful and free. My mind becomes serene when I am out there, nothing could make me upset or angry apart from the thought of going back to shore. Seriously, my mother had told me that days of nothing but the sky and sea would kill me, it would be so boring. But when I experienced it for myself, no such thing! God the peace and freedom I felt, I could have killed to experience it once more. Hence I decided to approach a Captain for help, so now I am receiving it. I am taking it one step at a time and if everything goes smoothly and in my way, I'll be sailing after I have graduated. For now though, I just have to steer my dad away from the UNIVERSITY path. He seems to mix me and my sister up. She is the studious one, not me. I am more of the practical person, I excel in almost everything BUT academics. In terms of academics I am merely average, unlike my straight 'A's sister. But hell, I prefer to be the black sheep of the family, that way, I don't have that many expectations on me. Besides, as my parents they should know me well enough. I can't wait to leave everything behind, just me, the sun, the sky, the sea, and the work that I have to do on board the ship. I'll be counting down the days till I get a company... till then, I am just going to have to grit my teeth through everything and do the best I can as best I can...
