happy or sad?

Dad didn’t come home last night. As it’s the end of the school year, schools are busy keying in the results of the students, and I think the main system crashed, so he and his colleagues were busy trying to get it up again or something.

Bio olympiad today was just blah. I had no idea how to do like 90% of the questions, so I randomly picked answers. Not that it really matters anyway since only the top 30 will be chosen for the practical round which lasts for a whole day. o.O Just imagine yourself having this practical session that lasts the whole day long, and you don’t know what you’re doing, so you just sit and stare at the apparatus and the apparatus stares back. o.O I still get CCA points anyway… (yes I’m so practical sometimes :p) The lady there was like having PMS or something; she was super sarcastic almost the whole time. o.O Oh well, it’s over now!

Went for lunch afterwards with Lee Ting, Shi Leng and Candice while the rest of my classmates who were not in the olmpiad were still having lessons, and heard from Qin Ning then that the list of students eligible for S paper were out. I get to choose from any subject! :) My grades didn’t improve though… don’t know if I should be happy or sad about that.

My class generally did quite well, with 16 out of 24 people being given the option of taking S papers. Feel sad for those who didn’t get S papers though beacuse I know some of them worked so hard, even harder than I did but didn’t get the option… Actually I don’t think I truly deserve my grades becase I’m not really hardworking or anything; there are so many people who worked so much harder. Look at the way I study and you’ll know. I hope they’re not too upset and can appeal… especially Ruo Xi… Life is just unfair.

doctor? not me.

It was lessons as per normal for the year 1s today; I don’t think many people liked that. Thank goodness I was excused from lessons, so I only went for the career talk and physics lecture.

The talk on having a career in medicine reconfirmed my decision that medicine is something I don’t want to go into. Being a doctor requires a lot of passion and commitment, and the working hours are irregular and long, which would mean you have to scrifice your personal time. And studying medicine is already bad enough… I think it’s like 5 years or something, and then there’s tons of exams and attachments… even after you’ve started working there are more exams to come. o.O Definitely not the kind of life I want to have in the future. Maybe I should put more thought into possibly going into life sciences or bio engineering, we’ll see how my attachment during the holidays turns out. 1 year to decide what I want to study in university is really too short…

studying is boring

While everyone else was having games day today all the olympiad students were busy preparing for the various olympiads. We were suffering upstairs while everyone else were enjoying themselves… -.-

The bio olympiad students were in the library reading the whole morning, and we had MCQ questions to attempt later. I feel like I’m having information overload now… there’s so much to learn, yet time is just too short. How to finish learning everything in the campbell book, which is like our 2 year syllabus but more in depth, in like 5 days?! What to do… They might still be cutting down on the number of people to go for the olympiad though… hmm. Better not have wasted my time studying for nothing…

I have this feeling the next few days will be boring; after all how interesting can studying get?!

guys…

Regarding that earlier post, the night after he told me that I met him online and we were chatting. It felt quite akward initially and we both seemed to pretend that nothing ever happened, but thankfully everything was all right later, and we’re still friends. :) He knows who I like anyway… so… But I feel bad if I had ever unintentionally hurt him because I never knew… :(

I only realised today that Josh’s birthday was yesterday… I wrote it down before but I forgot. o.O Oh well, will he appreciate it if I wished him happy birthday in the first place? I don’t know…

Relationships can be very confusing…

bio olympiad

Received another email from Mr Low today saying that intensive training will start from Monday onwards… and we have to bring Campbell everyday! That book is so heavy and just reading 2 pages makes me sleep… o.O We will be missing lessons to do our own reading up in the library, but I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. Why don’t we have olympiad lessons or something? Shi Leng told me a few days ago that they will only choose up to 30 people or something to represent the school, but I don’t know… Oh well.
