I've survived the first week of school and I must say, TGIF, seriously. :/ It's been pretty hectic, having to rush a lot of stuff, although admittedly it's my own fault since most of it was supposed to have been done during the holidays and me, being my usual lazy self, couldn't be bothered. x) I've had to write my own testimonial, do nine GP essay outlines, dig up all my GP work from the beginning of this year until now, organise and file them, and do the same for math. Math wasn't so bad because I'd already stored my notes together, but the rest was a horrible chore. Writing my own testimonial also made me feel kind of pathetic and selfish because I realised that, in the past one-and-a-half years that I've been in ACJC, I haven't done a single meaningful thing. :/ My CIP for last year was only Fun-O-Rama, which was compulsory for everyone anyway, thanks to me coming down with a fever the night before our class CIP. I haven't done any this year, either, and even if I do next week it'd be too late to put it into my testimonial. :/ As for my CCA, there was only drama and CWC, the latter of which I felt bad writing about since I missed more than half the meetings due to drama rehearsals. In the end, my three achievements consisted of drama, CWC and, believe it or not, the GP inter-class debate from last year. ._. Yes, I had to resort to using that, sigh. I think the PQ (personal qualities) part of my testimonial will be good nevertheless, Jon gave me a few snippets of his own testimonial from secondary school for me to copy, and I managed not to lie that much about myself. x)
We've currently got six people in SA4 who're on leave of absence. When the term started it was just Phu and Hieu, then on Wednesday Rachel Pan, Sheryl, Wi Lin and Amelia were told they had to go home as well. Apparently last week they'd been in contact with a girl in our level who was subsequently diagnosed with H1N1. ._. Scary. Frankly, I'm quite amazed nobody I know personally has it yet. Only a matter of time I guess. :/
Economics mid-year results came back today. Based on the marks alone I failed, but my grade is an E, which is considered a pass. x) At first I thought I'd got another U, until I checked my paper and realised Mrs Saw had miscalculated by five marks. ._. BIG difference. While an E still stinks, at least I've improved. I borderline-passed four out of five essay question parts (passing one alone is already a huge feat for me) and might've been able to pass the last part, giving me an overall D, if I'd had the time to finish it. Pfft. Still, I failed all my H2s during term exams, so this is definitely a step in the right direction. :)
From here on out, I swear I'm going to work hard. Prelims are in roughly six weeks and I wanna know what I'm capable of if I truly study. :/ Oh, I've also realised that prelims will be a week and a day after National Day (or, more significantly, Jon and I's two-year anniversary). How annoying is that??? :/ I don't care, I'm taking that day off. Just that day. x)
Awesome new Cobra Starship song featuring Leighton Meester. She looks really pretty in it. :)
And I know this is old, but I only just decided to put pictures up. I love love love what Leighton wore to the MTV Movie Awards. :D The makeup, the dress, the heels, everything. I probably wouldn't be daring enough to try it myself though, it's rather revealing at the back. :o
Dinner and a movie with Jon later! I love Fridays. :D
