MAD GIRLS LOVE SONG

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

Sylvia Plath

I'm currently reading The Bell Jar and loving every page of it. I'm also starting to read something I found lying around in my house, The Stuff of Thought by Steven Pinker. It's mainly about semantics and examines communication and language and meaning. Thrilling stuff, I can tell you.

Anyway, I had mass dance at the fountain of wealth a while ago. It was hyper fun, as usual. We cheered like crazy, as usual. It's nice to feel some incipient sense of belonging after a long bout of post-O level doldrums.

I can't make up my mind about which PDP (aka CCA) to choose!! I'm going to request taking recreational tennis as a 2nd CCA because (a) training sessions are minimal, (b) I'm interested in picking up tennis, and (c) I wouldn't have time to exercise on my own when school starts, unless you count MRT Seat Jostling as an extreme sport.

I'm looking for PDPs that will provide leadership opportunities and will not be something I dread attending. So it's either debate or choir or photography (drawback: may not get into the photography branch of the AV Club) or that UN-thingum or journalism and creative writing club or something totally random and unexpected like swimming or drama or Chinese cultural club. Yeah.
