I'm tired

Mentally. Physically. Emotionally.

The past 2 weeks has indeed proven to be too much. I think I really overestimated myself by covering 6 events in 2 weeks - 1 Soccer match, 2 Touch Rug match, SC Speech Day, National Junior Canoeing Championship and Track & Field Finals. I think the photos got less and less good/creative towards the end of the 2 weeks. I was so eager to finish my Track&Field duty I didn't bothered trying out different perspectives. Just did it the CP way...portraits and more portraits. Meanwhile, my forefinger refused to pressed the shutter button during the final Touch Rug match hence resulting in many missed moments. Trust me, I was swearing alot before half-time.

I think the mass no. of events has really taken a toll on my health and studies. I felt bloody tired yesterday night after covering Track&Field. The walk from CCK Stadium back home totally felt like an eternity. It didn't help that my bag had 4.3kg full of equipment. My studies has also suffered because of numerous missed tutorials and lectures and lack of energy to study everyday. Tutorials remain untouched. Sometimes even without the name filled in at the cover page.

I think event coverage has come to an end for me (except for the more major events). My CT was right. I shouldn't tank all the events and not give my juniors a chance to learn. Besides, I think it's really time to start getting the juniors to become independent. Experience counts. :)

Alright I guess I'm signing off here. I'm gg to bed kinda early today to make up for my lack of sleep the previous night. Nights.

I guess the feeling has faded. I'm tired. Really. Probably it's time to let go.
