the underdogs

DSC03216

it's over.

my 4 years of sailing in TK is gone, done with.

most of my seniors were super extremely excited, joyful, when they reached this stage - they no longer had to put up with the dreaded grueling painstaking chore of a CCA. Contrary to their outspoken emotions, i was pretty woeful yesterday when they raised AP over A, marking the final end to my racing on byte. it's was quite a saddening event, after 2 and a half years racing on the byte, i doubt i will get to race in it ever again.

the prize giving was also quite a stressful thing for me. it's upsetting to watch the prize winners go up in front to receive their prizes and for some even more upsetting, knowing that i used to be part of their team and we used to win together. people like Melissa and Cassandra, they won something for TKG yesterday. we all used to be part of the Champion Optimist girls team from St Hilda's then in 2004. Including Daniella, who is now in the National squad, they are all winning prizes left and right and i'm stuck in the back, just merely watching. what's worse even my ex-juniors are high flyers, who marched up front looking smart in their school blazers, grinning from ear to ear proud to win something for their school. that's something i miss very dearly. the amazing feeling and pure,absolute joy, knowing that your team have come in champions is indescribable and something i left behind. yet, it's no ones fault and i have ABSOLUTELY no regrets whatsoever about coming to TK and i really dread leaving.

but sad times are over, temporarily, so on to the BBQ! we had great, great fun.
