366/zzz

hmm I really have this habit of posting one week and then not at all the next.
but then now I'm really tired so yeah.

cos have been chionging socdoc a lot - thurs until 3am, sat/sun until 11pm at clement's house so yeah.

and we're still trying to subtitle!
but then again socdoc meetings generally involve a lot of cards/slacking/eating so yeah.

anyway school's starting to be hell again - ok fine we were isolated without aircon on the 7th floor last week so it kinda FELT like hell [ok I'm exaggerating but then our class koped 2 extra fans from the class next door so yeah] - but then isolation was fun cos we got our own recess and well the 7th floor is really good for playing cards. XD.

ok so anyway really what do I have due in the next few weeks or so:

english
adult critic [!!!]
showcase portfolio - seriously I'm going to organise it ALPHABETICALLY ._. and not like I have much to show really.
book club - I finished the book. yay. but I read in like groups of 100 pages and then fall asleep for several hours afterward.

math
apparently there's a CCT tmr but who cares. differentiation is fun [as long as I don't screw up]. and I still kinda like integration.
but no PTs etc so I don't care.

SS
argh socdoc. although our whole class got extended since we're a H1N1 class XD. so that WAS one perk of being on the 7th floor.

hcl
zhuanti [huh no idea what it is just that it's due in two weeks' time ._.]
prelims [seriously godie. and I need a dictionary [again] ._. and all she's been doing so far are just chengyu. which make no sense to me]
oh and I owe her 2 zuowens! or more.

chem
NCT, ANCQ, ISP, SCSF, whole bunch of notes to read - ugh.
at least organic chem is interesting once you get over all the memorisation.

phys
magship! my group's going to kill me - but I've been really busy with socdoc T.T
CCT in week something - who cares I kinda understand electromagnetism and practical electricity isn't even a topic.

bio
FREAK SPA REPORT haven't submitted yet ><
OMG BIO REFLECTIONS again haven't submitted yet - seriously too busy ><
and CCT on thurs apparently - seriously need to read botany and smoke my way thru ._.

geog
overdue essay, development PT which is effectively an essay - ugh.
hopefully no CCT though [although I think there is ._.]

german
who cares XD.

ok so well it doesn't LOOK that bad but considering that it's all clustered together and that I'm running behind for geog/hcl/bio [the first two kinda expected but then since geog was from term 2 and hcl from god-knows-when [but then it's the same every year] so yeah. but bio's surprising.] and then magship and socdoc are dangerously close. followed by bio CCT, NCT, ANCQ i.e. have to finish RJ org chem by FRIDAY. then the next week showcase portfolio is due and so on so forth so I'm going to die.

meh.

365/whee

hmm school these few days is zzz.
and I'm falling sick.
my brother got a 7 day MC just for flu-like symptoms. and I feel feverish but the thermometer refuses to admit that I have a fever. ugh.

and apparently wesley caught it from me [even though by right I don't have it] so he has a fever too. I'm jealous.

anyway school - tues was totally boring cos they decided to pay us back for the period 6 that they cancelled on wk1 mon - so timetable was like math HCL english chem HCL.

so math we didn't do much - went through apps of differentiation for TA tomorrow [i.e. today] and then well we didn't want him to go on cos we thought that we'd mix up integration and differentiation.
first HCL went through mock paper that I didn't do i.e. really really boring.
english was just talking about the model AQ that we had to grade and well we went very off-tangent [especially since it's about children's TV XD]. chem was in the lab - electrolysis with leong gen. XD. and then hcl again but then I realised that I left my bag in the lab ._. so anyway after doing a bit of stuff [I can't remember] we played more chengyuyouxi. so my group got pwned in the first round but then we won the next. and she used the sec2 worksheets [which I think I did before] so my guessing was uncannily accurate. oh and chengyu games are damn fun cos they're damn noisy and I can shout a lot of random things.

3rdlang was the usual stuff. but rather slack still.

wed: TA was horrible - redid question 2 four times in total [substituted wrongly, wrong formula, differentiated wrongly, careless] and all that so it really was a mess.
and question 1 I forgot quotient rule.
then geog was zzz. as usual. and she spent ONE [and maybe a bit of tomorrow] lesson on aid.
physics quiz was a bit easier [ok fine it was a lot easier] just that I didn't know how to justify the wiring mistakes so I wrote a lot of rubbish. oh and dc motors are interesting. and I KINDA get magnetism. but not electricity.
hcl was boring - wait she didn't actually do anything except go through chengyu and get us to check our CA marks. I managed to pass. =D
cle was boring - marriage vows. zzz. but it was still funny.
english she tried to get us to write an AQ but we hated the question. so we ended up grading more [funnier] samples. just that darren and I seemed to disagree with everyone else.

zzz.

then loitered a bit more [really who cares - and they're bringing back everything next week T.T] in school. and in J8.

ok shall sleep now [cos I feel sick even though the thermometer says I'm not. I tell you it must be broken.]

13 July 2009

364/zzz

ok I feel like I'm falling sick.
yay me.

hmm school today was boring.
but tomorrow will be worse - they've decided to pay back for the period 6 that they cancelled in wk1 by replacing assembly with it. I.E. DOUBLE CHINESE TOMORROW.

but then again since she was in quarantine segregation in wk1 does that mean that we get a free period?

tomorrow is seriously boring - math CHINESE english chem CHINESE. and 3¼h of german. ugh. and no elearning done as always.

school today:
chem - we social-distanced ourselves away from the teacher.
and I didn't really pay much attention.
and we were playing paper throughout the whole lesson so it was rather fruitful.
oh and KSP thought that the aircon wasn't working and forced us to open all the windows when in actual fact it was just that it had just been turned on so he didn't feel anything - well either way we just complied and didn't care.

SS was rather interesting but this is "globalisation through a historical approach" - and no I'm not kidding today we learnt about china/deng xiaopeng, the cold war/fall of berlin wall/weird russian people/glasnost/perestroika and so on - ugh. she said that geog looks at things from time and space and that gives a very negative view of globalisation [first point true second not really] ._.

so anyway to quote OWL: "geog looks at things from time and space, history is all time no space". also "history is very clear - all dead man's [sic] story". which is also rather true.

also it was fun waving to OWL while she was having lesson in 4J. and seriously her SS looks more interesting than geog.

followed by the 3 ‘P’s - PE, Philo, Physics. PE - VQ wasn't here so we played soccer. Philo - KC wasn't here so we didn't have to present and instead were tasked to "work on our projects" - which for us mainly involved photoshopping things/pictures of women cos we'd chionged the whole thing yesterday ._.

physics - sadly he was here [aww.] but he seemed in quite a good mood [which was strange considering that he had 4Q before that - oh maybe that was why he seemed so pissed off at the start - but anyway -] and didn't even confiscate aaron's phone when he smsed in class. oh and we got let off early. for lunch. in an empty-ish canteen.

oh and so much for social distancing when 4 sec4 classes had 3rd period PE today.


oh and DMP's back on! [albeit in a modified form - I tell you the announcement really doesn't mean anything - it's just to keep us happy - and we might end up with stuff like 1 day DMP or something ._. - but then again it'd be great to have DMP WITHOUT the sec3s. yay.]

ok then HCL - we distracted her by asking her to let us play that chengyu game so she didn't go through the test paper which I didn't do/bring. oh and she returned a baozhang that I didn't do/submit either.

then home.

I could get used to going home early you know.

just that CCAs are starting again next week [apparently].

damn.

ok that was retarded.
and I censored quite a bit.
zzz.

362/wow this is slow

ok I'm like updating weekly now or something.

maybe cos I'm too lazy to update this anymore.
but then again now I'm only updating cos I'm too lazy to do any work.

hmm school - can't quite remember what's been going on.
just that they cancelled DMP. so we're trying to get it back again and well from the looks of things it might be working.

what else - english: I still don't understand AQ.
physics: I still don't understand magnetic fields and all that
chem: I still don't understand electrochem [and I actually fell asleep in class]
geo: I still don't understand whatever she's talking about [but neither does the rest of the class]
hcl: I never did understand whatever she's been doing anyway. and I owe her a [few] zuowens + those mock paper thingies.

so really I'm still in like holiday mode or something.

what else...
bio: stem cells are zzz. and he owes us food + ice cream
SS is geog.
PE is ok - cos we group the people who can't play soccer together.
math is fun. relatively speaking. just that I don't like definite integrals.

ok so yes this week is rather boring. or maybe I've forgotten everything already.

6 July 2009

361/zzz

ok fine so I haven't been posting.

well mainly cos wk1 didn't even seem like school - like what no homework/period 6/CCA/RA CLASSES so I'm like home at like 2/3pm [mainly cos I still stay in school a bit and talk to people like wesley cos I really don't enjoy joining the crowds walking to the MRT station and all that].

so anyway timetable got reshuffled, so we have stuff like CLE before lunch and math after. and 3RD PERIOD PE ON FRIDAY! [just that now they shifted all sec2s/3s to 2nd recess on fridays for "social distancing" and all that bs so we can't enjoy it. yet. but then looking on the bright side of things sec2s and 3s lost their lunch. XD. as in the school moved period 6 up for them so they get dismissed earlier but we get an [emptier] canteen.]

oh and 6th period resumes tmr. meh.

and anyway school's been very slack cos the locked up all the boarders so like 4E had 10 people gone, 4F lost 6, 4I lost 8 and 4J lost 11 or something like that. so really they can't do anything can they. XD.

so anyway I haven't really done much work [if any] - been sleeping 12h every day [i.e. from 12 - 12 ._.] so don't really feel that tired. chionged out quite a few questions for humans quiz though. just that we might not even have it considering how 2 assemblies have been converted to PDI already.


oh and YAY FOUNDERS' DAY POSTPONED!

anyway for school
english - she got kinda pissed that we didn't submit metacognitive but then went back to her usual self afterwards.
math - I kinda like integration just that it's a bit annoying. and noone's told me how to integrate sec x yet. meh. I think I have this total love-hate relationship with math or something cos I don't want to take it in JC and really it's just PAINFUL but then again it gives me my 4.0s [CONSISTENTLY] so yeah.
geo - development and more development. and she axed tourism so darren and I are crying foul.
chem - usual waste of time. I hate electric cell cos it's really physics and I still can't understand what the heck potential difference is. and seriously what's the difference between V and I ._.
so that brings us logically to physics - ok I don't quite get magnetic fields either but then there are RULES. so it's like kinematics all over again [which was really my best topic last year - just memorise the formula and WHACK. but this time we get to play with our hands. how wrong is that XD]
bio - he's still on ECONOMIC BOTANY. oh and got back CCT2, shockingly got a 27 cos even though I screwed up diabetes [thought it had something to do with glucagon/glycogen apparently I still made sense somehow]. but economic botany is fail.
hcl - NY got quarantined! so first period was wait the first HCL lesson got cancelled cos it was a period 6, next lesson CSK came in, gave us 2 zonghes and 1 suoduan which we all discussed even though she told us not to. then we had this relief who put us through a full paper 1. but I still didn't finish in the end.
philo was a free period and so was CLE cos both had nothing planned for this week. XD.
first PE lesson was slack. second one also. but seriously SOCCER? ugh.

ok what else... nothing much really.


and now school REALLY starts.

and we got 3 frenchies joining our class! whee.
