bittersweet
Thursday, September 17, 2009
It's 18 days to EOYs.

Yes, and I can finally say to myself I'm studying hard. Hard enough, not as hard as others, but oh well - study smart, not hard? Despite only seriously starting for EOYs 3 days ago, I think what made me think (and I still do) that there is still time to study is that everyday before a test I'll be like typing out notes, so it managed to snowball quite substantially to now, I have many many notes. And they'll really work out for me to study for EOYs. But I shall read them once in awhile. HAHA, but I still haven't got any notes for new chapters (like the sciences and geography!). And I'm starting to make mindmaps... hopefully for every single chapter, I guess. 'Cos apparently mindmaps enhance your memory! And I'm starting to understand physics, which is good. EOYs in 18 days, and I know I can make it.

On a kind of bittersweet note, there's choir tomorrow, but it's the final practice until after EOYs. *sigh* Well, I'll need it to study, but I still need choir.

Okay, I need to go mug now! Bye!
Mug

EOYs in 21 days (well, in less than 2 hours it'll be 20 days to EOY). Well, doing your maths (which, in fact I haven't done), there would be practically less than 3 days for each subject. And I'm wasting my time away here! As if I could pull off a stunt like I did for other major exams. I mean, I studied for 1 week before MYEs this year. This time I really hope I could start studying like, now. But there's no motivation, really. And this could just be the trap I fall for and never be able to climb up again. Especially so because this is streaming year. AHH. I NEED TO GET MOTIVATION OR START SOME SELF-CREATED REWARD SCHEME OR SOME PENALTY SYSTEM TO GET MYSELF TO START MUGGING.

on a note
Tuesday, September 8, 2009
On a very unsure, weird and personal note:
  • Some things are good, so long they don't interfere with a certain something. And I think this is just me on my part.
  • Sometimes, people just doesn't understand any more, that what I say is more than just what it appears on the surface.
On a dreadful note:
  • I need to start on more revision later on. Although this might be a happy thing too. I can be happy studying too, okay!
On a happier (perhaps musical) note:
  • There's choir tomorrow! :D
  • Our D&T seems to have hope.
  • There's just so many things to be optimistic about! Haha!
Yeah, okay goodbye!
things that are on my mind now
Monday, September 7, 2009
Well, at least they were on my mind when I wanted to blog them a few days ago...

1) The holidays are here. And this week would definitely be a great time to start mugging and completing all my notes, rushing assessments and be all ready for EOYs. But I think I need a break. A break from this entire term. I think I won't (and can't) be doing so much revision in this holidays and especially so when I turn on the net and find myself on youtube and blogs and stuff.

2) This is probably the most screwed year in my academic life. Well, kinda. Firstly, I don't understand physics almost entirely and I definitely need to by next week (Speed Quiz!). Secondly, I don't think my Chinese score will look well in my report book. Almost definitely, it will be a C. But, everything else is going fine, for now. Maths has been relatively easy (there's no algebra in 2B)!

3) I will be like going back to school for the entire of this week, every single day. Today I went back for D&T and I'll have to go back tomorrow too. I'm not even sure if our model would work or anything and I need my D&T marks to redeem my other subjects okay. Wednesday would be a very fine day to go back to school. Maths remedial in the morning and I'm not complaining 'cos I think I really need it. And in the afternoon, there'll be choir which I have missed for like 1 entire week due to debate (which I think we've kinda done rather okay in the competition, but that's beside the point) and I am like so needing to get back to choir to satisfy my need to be in choir like almost always. Although CCAs stop after this school holidays. But I guess I'd need the time too to get back to studies and then I'll be enjoying CCA time and some super great time after EOYs. Thursday, going for the ACS(I) meet thing? And Friday I'll probably finish the final segments of D&T/IT and then there's choir after that! Yay!

4) Somehow I don't know how I should say this. I just can't put certain things into words and make them sound convincing. I can no longer just rely on passion to stay happy any more and I need to start to rely on people. I have managed to, for 2 months, settle myself down. And that I think I might be slipping back again. (I think I'll go nuts if this continues.) And yeah, it's like I have found direction in life and yet lost my direction in life and so many things I wish they would give me the answer. You probably won't understand this... but yeah.

5) I think I'm going broke. And I realised I'm eating too much chocolate! And then I realised (today) that people have a large appetite!

6) And I need to start doing some things I have long wanted to do. And according to the Parkinson's Law, work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. And logically, if the time for completion is infinity... work will expand to fill infinity. And thus nothing is done. Which means I have to set deadlines. And really soon. It would be really helpful to get some things done right now.

7) Nothing else right now, I guess. Shall be off... procrastinating.
change change change

I am guessing no one reads here any more. Not that it does matter.

Week 9. It's going to be a busy week. By the short span of today, I handed in LA poetry and completed the CE project thing. There will be two concerts to attend tomorrow. Wednesday I have a Geography test. Thursday a Chinese Test. Friday a Poetry test. And probably a speed quiz this Friday? And I think Chinese ATT too. Wow.

I think I'm feeling very lost now. I just realised that so much has changed. Things change so often. In fact I'd wish that some things didn't change and remain the same. Hmm. Ahh.

Okay. Think I'd be off now. Bye!
my random thoughts
Monday, August 17, 2009
I need to say some things o.o (in point form):
  1. I found out the "resonance" of the corridor outside our class! O:
  2. I realised, when I got home, that blue is really a colour representing tranquillity. After realising so many things in my room are blue and that the sky was blue. The temperature was just right. No lights on. Around 5pm. And it felt good. Tranquil.
  3. I finished my Language Arts poem!
  4. I know I still have a lot of work to do (E.g. Character Ed, Maths Test, LA Biography, D&T, Geog Test, and a worrying EOY-is-in-48-days nightmare)
  5. I shall be doing Maths ATT tomorrow
  6. I really love this quote: "I won't let schooling interfere with my education" by Mark Twain. It just reflects how schooling really doesn't give us the "ideal" education. And that real education, you have to do it yourself.
  7. I think I eat too much during recess (because it's 1 hour!)
  8. I need to find purposes for certain things.
  9. I also need to find an outlet for certain stuff.
  10. I want to sleep before 11pm tonight.
Yeah. The whole list probably won't interest you so... yeah.

Goodnight! =D
question mark
Saturday, August 15, 2009
I really don't know what to say.

I spent minutes, thinking what I should write, whether I should. But I just don't know what to say, and how I even feel. Sometimes I really wish there was someone I could talk to.
