Jocie's post got me thinking about Netcarn.
Haha after getting last place in Sec 1 I think in Sec 2 we went there really just to have fun and definitely without the intent of winning. I think our main aim was not to lose all our matches again?

I remember how they moment we won one match we were mad happy, and if I'm not wrong we even won another and went around yelling WE WON TWO MATCHES! TWO!!! And the general atmosphere was just so... hahaha yay we are all such failures and we love being failures! Not in a way that made us embarrassed about our class, just in a way that, this was us, and we couldn't imagine it any other way, and this was what 210 was all about.
This year, when we were sat down on the courts during PE, and we spent forever choosing the team that was going to play, I said "Actually can't we just put any names down? Cos in the end everyone plays, so it doesn't matter." And they just looked at me weirdly, and Annabel said uhh no, I think only your class did that.
I remember after that we split the class up into team and non-team, and I went home thinking that wow, 304 has a really strong team this year. Maybe this year we'll stand a chance, unlike last year.
But now I realise, Netcarn definitely isn't about winning. It isn't about walking off court angry and having an inter-class quarrel over facebook (ahem), it isn't about aiming only to win, it isn't about only letting the team play because they're the best.
Because this is a inter-class competition, and the purpose of something like that is to bring a class together. Not segregate them by talent.
I'm just hoping that when Netcarn comes, 304 doesn't stick to what it said about only letting those players on team play.
Letting everyone play just changes the entire experience, you know?
