fencing...

its been a while since i last blogged... so well here i am again.
reason for me blogging? mainly due to fencing and the feel of continuing writing after writing yesterday's gp essay cos it went quite well (its been long since i wrote such a pretty decent essay :) )
been slacking (dun like this word) away giving crappy pieces of work for gp :/ though i've been getting decent marks... ...
got 28/50 for the first essay (seems quite shitty aint it) but considering the fact that i think more than half the class failed lol :p and that i wrote half of the essay standing up on the bus on the way to school in about 15mins... im kinda satisfied...
yesterday's essay had more effort put into it i have to say, and i kinda like it though some parts still sound bit noobish, and i had a couple more ideas that i didnt put in cos it was almost 12.00am the next day and i was lazy to write anymore. :/ ah well that isnt the point of me blogging today sheesh... i wanted to write a mini essay in response to how the school refuses to support fencing, giving crappy excuses such as having no funds... my foot... anyway... given that i have the whole of differentiation tutorial to complete today... im not going to write this... instead i'd be writing down some points as to how we feel about this issue...

the school claims it doesnt have funds to support us claiming that fencing is an expensive cca and that $8000 a year is a lot and they didnt have plan to have fencing as a cca in the first place.

response: yea right they dun have funds... cutting other cca's funds just because they didn't perform well in competitions... able to give some ccas like 6 figure sums a year and yet cant come up with $8000 to fund fencing for a whole year... etc etc etc... zzzzzzzz i... had so much going through my mind just now... but now... its just saddening how seeing how unhelpful the school is...

they claim tat they are willing to support us with places to have trainings and stuff but they're not going to recognise fencing as a cca and fund us in any way...

response: what an effort to try and sound supportive... like they don't know that without funding, even if we want to continue, we can't... cos we dun have the ability to pay for $100+ for every 10 sessions per person... we can always have training at the coach's place... tats not a problem... its the fact that we as students... having to continually ask our parents for so much money to support our desire to continue fencing... ... ...its just not us (at least me...) to do this...

i dun feel like writing anymore... seriously... ... its frustrating how we fencers, are trying to get fencing to work... (like by paying the first 10 sessions ourselves)... yet the response we get from the school is... ... ... so so disapointing... ... ... ... ...
