last minute panic? FULL BRAIN LOCKDOWN

k, exams are next week wed till i forgot when...seems like eternity (not really...perspective just makes it seems so)

NPCC PRACTICE IS ON TUES, THATS THE LAST NORMAL SCH DAY!!!! AND THE REAL PARADE IS ON FRIDAY, I HAVE A CHINESE COMPO AND YINGYONGWEN TO WRITE THAT DAY!!!I'M COMPLETELY BRAIN DEAD AFTER PARADES...HOW TO SURVIVE???

so i'm just going to do my regular exams preps.

meanwhile i'll go my POD PRESENTATION THAT IS ALSO DUE ON FRIDAY...SO HOW TO STUDY FOR WED TEST, THURSDAY'S AND FRIDAY'S?????????????
AND I'M THE RESIDENT SECOND HIGHEST SCORER FOR THAT SUBJECT...STRESS...(mostly from myself, but i can sense some stress wafting around class these days...specifically around binru...not only does he feel stressed,he GENERATES stress)(k, that was a lame joke to fight stress, i can't do humour near exams)

on the brightside, i got a set of pencils that make sketching and drawing REALLY fun and easy (to erase)and i just finished one more pic.(for some reason, my mum thinks it looks like her and a bit like zanna)(yuffie looks like zanna?)

and on the really brighterside, i finished my ISO poster on time, with just paint and help from parents. everyone else spent at least $10~$20 on printing their poster while spending hours using a photo editing program they usually don't use (except for the exceptional few), i got $30 for a few bottles of paint and a set of pencils (a FULL set of pencils[of which i didn't see the price tag of $20] that range from 6b to 6h and makes drawing really fun). and the poster came out quite well (except for the several minor details that where only found either in the morning or when handing up)
but otherwise, i'm not going to fail my ISO...YAY...now for the other subjects

yoyoyo...days go round and round...and nothing changes

and so i'm back...with another post...a few days after my birthday (which went by rather quietly...like only 5 pple actually remembered [excluding my family])

and so i'm now 16...its a great age except for one thing.....I'M ONE MORE YEAR NEARER TO NS!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH.....PANIC....BODY NOT READY YET....SO UNFIT!!!

spent the whole of yesterday sleeping....come home, do less than a page of Adv math then ate too much kalamari (fried squid rings) and then slept with a headache and stomach rumbling.tried playing the piano...but the headache takes away every inch of strength...even pressing the keys normally is hard work

and now...i got to worry for NPCC day...cos we're marching on the same day as the first test....which is chinese compo and language arts 1....that means...mugging about chinese compo and resting up for laa1....

i have a question: should students copy for their practicals? i mean, if you don't have certain results for certain tests or chemical reactions and you copy your friend's one..this is ok. the copying i'm talking about is the one where you copy answers for those questions such as "comments/improvements" or "state the relationship btw (this value) and (that value" or those really specific ones that have varied answers from each person.you got to understand...the problem is not the school, its my classmates....THEY ARE COPYING CHINESE SPELLING STRAIGHT FROM THE HANDBOOK/TEXTBOOK...this is rather weird (i must mention that there are still some who have the intergrity to NOT copy and do their own practical and actually HAND IN ON TIME...)

talking about punctuality..my class is really not a good example...late for prac, almost late for lecture, late assignments...(they needed to hand in a prac last week thursday, only today they are doing...the teacher is nice enough to extend it to today. what they are doing is rather unfair to the four guys who DID actually hand in on time)my class was called the "mugger-class"....they don't really care much about lesson i think...they drag time till the very last second..if they actually left on time, they will get to lectures and prac on time....

lets take for example,the most recent lecture: before that we had a free period (teacher on MC), 5 mins to lecture...no, they want to wait for 5 min after the period started to go to lecture hall...i left with song 5 mins before, we explored the ENTIRE HALL, as well as behind...its really nice place...they have to rush in late...i was already there helping teachers to distribute notes.the teacher only came 1min before bell ring (cos she went to pick up notes, which had not been stapled)...don't ya see? the difference in a min can make?

let me state for the record: my sch is nice, very nice...nothing wrong with the school...the problem is the mentality of my classmates (which by any chance has no relevence to the sch)

one of my classmates is SO LAZY to move a stack of 30-pieces of paper that he takes out one and asks the nxt guy to grab the entire stack...which was convienently on his lap....wt?...you come late, you make really irrelevent noises (i'm sure screaming when the lights were off is NOT productive) we're suppose to be nice pple...gentlemanly qualities...and yet, you won't make the nxt person's life easier by just keeping quiet and passing notes...its really sad...i can't imagine my brother taking this kind of ...(whatever you can call this attitude)...(then again, my brother's generation was so much different then mine...they were much more friendly)

so, i repeat: its not the sch i'm angry about...its the students in my class. (who happen not to be very...class-like in many aspects)
