*Sigh*....I had another very bad and tough NCC training. To kick off the terrible day, we had IFC, which means Individual Field Craft, we had to crawl on the sand with rifles which were extremely hot as we were under the hot Sun and the rifles were black , which if you did not know conducts heat. Anyway, we were under the hot Sun for about 1 to 2 hours with only a 10 minute water break. It was the only fun part of the whole training other than the debrief. Next was the dreaded drills. Again we were all under the hot Sun doing drills . Next was P.T. which stands for Physical Training which is extremely tough. We did the normal stretching but then when we were done, we were told that we would have to climb St.Patrick's Hill which we later found out that we had to climb up all the way to the third floor by one extremy long staircase and down another at the end of the level of Buckley Block. We had to run and not walk 5 rounds. After that, we were very relieved to have a fast debrief and we could head home.

It has been 2 weeks since i started to do my new morning and recesss duty. My morning duty, which is to take care of 3E1, is a lot more boring than looking after a staircase which was my previous duty. I may have a little trouble taking care of them espacially since they are 2-years older and me and may not be borthered about me. My recess duty is only a little better than my morning duty. I have to patrol the Brother's Quaters over and over again and in the hot Sun. It is also rather boring cause we never catch any smokers or people playing truant. There is also no senior prefect around whenever we have trouble.

Yah!! Ihave survived 7 months in St.Patrick's School. My CCAs are NCC air ,Legion of Mary (President) and prefects. This year is alomost over and I am eagerly waiting for the Final-year exam so i can go off for my long holiday. It is very easy to handle 8 or 9 subjects once you get use to it which i have except getting use to the big heavy bags which i have to bring to school everyday since there are no lockers in the school. I am also waiting to get promoted in NCC.
