everything was back to normal today. lessons, as usual.
chem: went through mcqs. didn't complete them though. only got until q25. got the enthalpy question wrong because of a stupid -ve sign!!! ahhhh ):
econs: ias ias ias.
bio: ahhh! dont know our prac marks because mdm didnt bring her laptop to class today ): went through mcq. now i know that stimulating an axon in the middle allows the impulse to travel in both directions. hm. for some reason i always thought it was unidirectional. and i got the stats question wrong!!!! omg after spending so much time doing stats for ee, i got a simple stats question wrong ): boohoo.
surprise surprise! the answer for the 'lose its protoplast' question WAS A: root cap!!!!! :D wow and the explanation i came up with during the exam was actually correct. omg. but it's not in the syllabus anyway. haha learnt why mitochondrial dna is only from the mother - never really understood why till today. today is a day of enlightenment (:
pe: played floorball at the astro. lots of funny moments, like adrian spinning in the opposite direction when the ball flew up in the air, kenric doing his 'i'm going to hit the ball so hard and so far you wont be able to stop it' action and ending up missing the ball, cavan and david with their retarded strategy of walking slowly with the ball, cavan and boonsim with their 'cupping the ball between the two sticks' strategy, cavan and david sitting down on the chairs marking out the goalposts and letting the rest of the white team handle the game, etc.
english strand 2: gave feedback about the paper - didnt discuss it at all, did a bit of group work on some past year questions. nothing much. only i did get a bit depressed after hearing her talk about how there was so little time left. like now we're supposed to chiong for ioc, and also start reading our three texts again (i actually have not read paddy clarke at all, and i havent finished reading huck finn once through, plus i cant really remember much from siddhartha - my essays are full of recycled points and quotes).
after ioc, its a few weeks to prelims. followed by paper reviews and about one and a half weeks before we officially end school and go on study break ._. that is pretty fast. its about 4 months to ib exams ending. we're going to be out of the school so soon! so that made me more sober about actually being more hardworking and studying for ioc and exams. there really isnt much time for me to read the texts and try to improve my paper 2 essays, which is scary. so, that was a wake up call that i hope i heed.
math: hahahahahaha this was so retarded. oh we were supposed to write down what we predicted our grades for math common tests would be. if sir didnt agree with your predicted grade (he hasnt seen our marks actually), you had to do 30 pushups. guys only, of course (: i think almost the whole class had to do pushups. that is, if the girls had to do pushups as well - which we didnt. oh! about ten-ish seniors who are nus med students came back to talk to us about medicine - the interviews and stuff.
lol, after they left, we got ben to sing a few songs in front of the class (dont ask me how this started), and later it was cavan's turn. he asked the whole class to help him: stand up and hold each other's hands. KUMBAYA KUMBAYA hahaha this went on for about 3 minutes, i think, while sir videoed us on isaac's phone. at some points there were awkward pauses like 'now what', then it just continued with 'kumbaya kumbaya' hahahaha the video was so stupiddd.
handed in some report books, dropped nat's viola off at the music studio, tried to get cas forms signed, had lunch with stewart. and that marks the end of my day in school.
so i realised today that i need to:
1) really start preparing for ioc
(didnt help that alex who was sitting beside me was hardcoring ioc the ENTIRE day)
2) need to stop other non-urgent activities that i have been enjoying recently
e.g. baking - oh yesterday's cookies were not bad (:
3) errr. what else. oh yes, keep focused on what i plan for each day. not that i've actually planned anything. but i need to follow it when i do so. okay sounds reasonable.
ooookay, lots of stuff to do today, byebye (:
` love, 4:25 PM
