Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

The past two/three weeks of the second semester at HKU have been pretty crazy.  There has been much more partying and crazy super random nights out this time around.  Not that there weren't last semester, but it's been heightened x 10 with the new kids, thus new atmosphere.  For about a week I slept at 6am every day.  It's all been super fun, but it's also come with consequences...being that I fainted today during dragon boat practice while we were running.  I was about to slow down and take off my sweater and the next thing you know, I'm on the floor looking up at my teammates extremely embarassed that I fainted for the second time.  It's never happened back home.  It was a reality check once again that I just need to take care of myself here.  I also don't want my own doings to affect my teammates...I don't want them to have to worry about me fainting every second.  This was the second time during practice that happened...sometimes I just overexhaust/exert myself here, which is no bueno.  I suppose I've been making choices for instant gratification without thinking of the long-run, which I think especially happens in this study abroad world.  It's a dream world of fun and now I just need to chill. out.

Because I also like this song.
