Today, I sat down to plan out my schedule for the rest of the holidays. Bad call. =S
Now, I'm more stressed than ever before. Seems I underestimated the amount of time I have to devote to 'academic' pursuits. (ie. Bio Oly) Now I have to (somehow) figure out how I'm going to go for Band camp, Bio Oly training
and finish my EE before the end of the month.
In fact, I'm actually seriously considering not going for Band camp and simply not play for the concert. Which brings my to the point about my standard of playing. (see post below)
I'm gonna go bury my head in my pillow now. Excuse me.
It's been a really long time since i've posted... (Has it been a month? Haha.) Partially 'coz of exams, but mostly 'coz of laziness. =P This post is gonna be reeeaally long...
First and foremost, exams! Quite disappointed with my results, thought I could have scored better... =( Total of 34 points, and I didn't even make it onto any Dean's List... ='( Oh well, I just heard today that I might be able to crash the lectures, maybe I'll go... Ah well, at least I did well for TOK (of all things. Haha again), mostly because of my TOK presentation...
In other news, Bio Oly! Haha, got into the school team! Yay! I was so nervous when I sat for the selection test, I had nightmares the night before.. Haha. An ex-Olympiad participant old boy came to talk to us about his experiences in the Chem Olympiad. You know, he said as long as we can get into the Singapore team, we'll most likely be able to get in one of the Ivy League universities. I want! =) So I promised myself that I'll work really hard, and get into the Singapore team! Hmmm, is it a little too ambitious? Ah wells.
Holidays! Today is the 1st day of holidays! Haha looking at my schedule I won't be having much of one(as usual)... What with juggling Band practices, Bioly trainings, EE lab sessions (which I have yet to plan), IBDP Chinese exams and my nonexistent social life (If I had one in the first place), this holiday promises to be even more tiring than the school term. =( Oops, and I forgot to mention homework, too. TOK essays, Business IA, World Lit preparations... I hope you ACS(IB) pple are having fun, coz I definitely am not.. =P
The most worrying thing has got to be the impending Chinese exams... I didn't do too good on the final exams (I think I'm the only one in class without a 7 points), so I better be working extra hard to get my 7 points in the final exam..
Concert! ACS(I) and ACJC and frens are organising a concert on 30th Nov and 1st Dec! Have to practise real hard, and I've been missing practices coz of school events! I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to catch my with my juniors, especially since I haven't touched my flute for soooo long. This has definitely been the longest I've been without playing my flute, almost 2 months!!! I'm going to have to change my profile on the blog if this keeps up. =( My standard, last I checked, has probably dropped back to Sec2 or 3 level already! My conductor is seriously going to skewer me the next time I meet him. =P I need to go practise, but there's almost no time in my schedule, and I haven't even got the scores that we will be playing!! I hate the schedule. =(
OCS! Couple of days back, they sent the entire Year 5 cohort to OCS for open house. TOTAL waste of time, if you ask me... The only fun part about it was when we managed to get a chance to talk to the OCT guides and ask them about their life in OCS... Especially since I want to go to SAF band after BMT... (see above paragraph)
Slacking! Hmmm, this point may seem a little contradictory to the above paragraph, but I have to admit I've been spending quite a lot of time slacking after the exams... Well, what choice do I have, when the teacher don't even turn up for lessons?! Went to the movies a couple times, still haven't got a chance to watch Death Note (Anyone wanna go watch with me?) My fave has got to be the Prestige. That was one deep show. Ended up thinking about it for like a hour after the show. =P Thumbs up for anyone planning to watch it, it's really good! (A little dark and gruesome though, just a warning!)
Weeelll, I don't think I can come up with any more points to talk about. Better get back to doing things more useful (like practising.) Post another time!
