Went to the MACC luncheon today.
I felt really really short.
I was SHOULDER HEIGHT of LN, and chin height of AJ, DJ, LM, and AM. And that was only of the people there.
My brother told me that historically our growth spurt stunts at grade 9 (term 1, actually).
That is not good.

Anyways, going back to MACC certainly brought back many memories, but they were mostly of MC's mannerisms.
Words like 'touch base', 'congregate', etc. were words that she commonly used.
On the topic of vocabulary, my vocabulary certainly 'decreased' DRASTICALLY after grade 7. I'm very serious, my vocabulary today is NOTHING compared to what I had in grade 7. I heard FC mention the word 'insipid', and I did not know what it meant. I promise you, if I spent two more years in that MACC environment, I would have known exactly what she was trying to say.
I guess you gradually turn into what the people around you are like. Or at least get influenced by them.
But then again, there are many things I've learnt in MY from my peers that I would never ever have learnt back in MACC.
Too bad table manners isn't part of the curriculum.
I still remember once when MC almost yelled at me for leaving my elbows on the table at a luncheon of some sort.

Well, at the very least, when she tells us to be quiet, we really be quiet, and extremely quickly by high school standard. I guess it has something to do with the high level of respect we have for her that is nurtured over several years of being in her class for several hours every day. Even the grads shut up pretty quickly.

I think my piano teacher wants to carve me up and give me us an offering to the gods of music.
Okay, maybe not.
But honestly, I'm really really bad with practicing.
So, for this winter vacation, my top priority is piano, with science fair a distant second. (Even though it should be my first priority).
And I will plan to practice 2 hours of piano every single day.
