we are meant for greater things

Life has become relatively uneventful for me these past 2 weeks. Crawl out of bed every morning when the sky is still dark, drag myself to my dad’s car and to school in slumber mode, then trying to stay awake through the whole day of lessons while fighting impulses to indulge in calorie-ridden food during lunch. Then after surviving training, I get to go home! Hooray! Back to the safe haven of dinner, television, homework, and computer, then sinking into the comfort of bed.
Nothing much ever happens. Which sucks, completely, but I can’t really do anything about it because it’s Secondary 4 after all, and one must be prepared to live this year abstaining from fun.
Except, there’s going to be GRACES camp soon! I used to look forward to it in Sec 1, but now it’s just a headache. I always thought we had to buy formal dresses, but now suddenly they say it’s “Smart-Casual”! What’s up with that? Now I’m wondering if everyone else will turn up in pretty dresses, or if there will be people wearing pants and blouses. And whether I’d wear the wrong thing and stand out-in a bad, bad way. I don’t know when I’m going to shop for my dress/ethnic costume, and whether I even WANT to buy a new outfit.
There’s the complex world of make-up too; what on earth, is the difference between powder and liquid foundation? How do I use this pencil-like thing called the eyeliner? Do false eyelashes really STICK? Can I go with my glasses, get contacts (!?!) or just go blind? Will I look like Dracula with lipstick?
If my mind was an ERP gantry and worrying thoughts were cars, I’d be filthy rich!
