my head wants to expolde.

You know, yesterday the famine committee was so happy as we got an sms from Datin Vivienne that she has managed to get us a venue for our camp. We were going to start the publicity in our school today by going to each class and telling them how we're organizing this camp which is totally not in any way related to our school. So me, Trixie and Melissa go to see Ms. Harriet to ask for a notice board so that we can put up our poster. But she said we had better ask Mrs. Chan first.

So we were like okay. Went into Mrs. Chan's office to talk to her about it. At first when we said we wanted to publicize it she was like sure, go ahead. Then somewhere in the conversation, Trixie mentioned that we were getting help from Datin Vivienne and you could totally see the transformation in Mrs. Chans expression. Then later, I asked about the school buses as getting buses from our school might be cheaper than outside. Mrs. Chan asked how many buses we wanted and I said 4 cause we were aiming for 200 participants from our school. This was followed by Mrs. Chan asking whether we thought we were being too ambitious. Well anyway, to cut a long story short, Mrs. Chan said the reason she rejected our proposal in the first place was that she thought that only FIVE of us wanted to use to school and she thought it was ridicoulus. But I vividly remember her saying it's because she didn't want the school to be held responsible for any injuries. Why a sudden change in story??

Well of course it's ridicoulus!!!! We said in out proposal that this was for the studentS of the school and we wanted to raise a large amount of money. What's more our committee itself has 10 people. So where is the logic that she thought only FIVE of us wanted to use the school????? So now, she said she'd have to deliberate with Ms. Harriet as to how the school can best support us in this. Argh!!! You don't know how irritated I am!!! We freaking gave you the proposal for TWO weeks to look over and NOW you tell us you want to see the pros and cons of this camp? I swear it's just cause we said Datin Vivienne would help us.

According to the schdule we planned out, we we supposed to have started all the publicity and distribution of donation cards TWO weeks ago. The dateline is freaking 9 August, in the middle of our trials so we all want this to be done with at the end of July. But noooo, you just had to make our lives difficult.


P.S To any teacher who reads this (I know some do), don't get me wrong, I don't mean any harm but it is just so fustrating that ONE person should affect the planning of our camp so much. It's not like this is a camp for fun, it's for charity.
