alright, so i've decided that wednesdays are orange. sue me.
today was relatively normal. i got my hair tied up in a bun. i tried it on sunday once and my dad said i looked like a nyonya (like i need that!), but he also said i looked pretty good in it, which, coming from my dad, is about the largest praise you can get. my mum spent a good deal of time laughing at me, and so did my sister, but i think i looked rather pretty, too. :D i decided to risk it and go to school like that today. there was a hullabaloo for about thirty seconds, and then everyone got used to it. brilliant--i think i shall tie my hair up like this more often. (:
for math, i didn't really pay 100% attention in class. i did the remainder and factor theorem questions, but i've already had a lot of practice on this topic, so i darted in between R and F theorem and surds, indices and logarithms. i've done that too, but it was last year and i've forgotten everything.
which reminds me: i am pretty determined to stay ahead of school for these subjects. i'm weaker in them and i think it would do me a lot of justice if i stayed ahead by a couple of topics. tuition helps a lot. so while everyone else continues with R and F, i'll be moving on to revise surds, indices and logarithms on my own. for physics, i've already done most of electricity, so i just need to revise the topics again. i'm way ahead by about half the year, so physics is alright. for chemistry, i'm ahead because i'm good at redox, but i haven't started on organic chemistry yet. better start this weekend! i think i should have done this a long time ago. it's so much easier when you already know what's going on and when lessons are just a revision for you.
during chinese we had to write our first composition of the year. did i mention how much i HATE chinese compos? it's necessary, but an absolute BORE and it affects my mood so. it was recess after that and jeanette had finished her compo already, so she asked me if i wanted anything from the canteen, because i wasn't done with mine yet. in the end she helped me collect my third language transport card from the general office for me too. it was SO SWEET of her. if not i would have gone hungry and without a transport card. thanks tons penguin! :D
during advanced lit i gave my term paper presentation, which, i suppose, went smoothly, but i just wished i didn't "read" off the paper like mr tan said i did. i've always been a good speaker (yes, i am going to say it!), but maybe to him it's not good enough. i knew standards would be raised when i found out he's going to be our teacher this year. it's a good thing, i suppose--getting out of my comfort zone and aiming to reach higher expectations. i think i had it easy last year. ADVANCED LITERATURE 408-409-413 ALL THE WAY!
nothing much happened in LA. assembly was boring as usual, although the panel discussion perked me up a bit. i can't wait for xinru to come over on saturday--i've missed her D: she's shown me her school and her home and her culture. my turn!
that's all for now. really, i need to post something more meaningful than just what-i-did-today recounts. i shall post an argumentative or a story soon...but in the meantime, redox study and surds, indices and logarithms! :D
