I presume this would be a long post since I can't find anymore suitable time than now to update. And yes, my September holidays are not holidays. Geez, that always happen ever since 2 years ago. It's just that in upper secondary, we used to have truncated lessons during the holidays but now, it's make-up lectures and tutorials. Apparently, the tutors are trying their best to rush out whatever they've yet to cover before the Promos. Seriously, I feel we're really, really behind time. Take Chemistry for example. Lecture is now somewhere in the middle of Halogen Derivatives but where are we for tutorials? Alcohols. There's still Carbonyl Compounds, Carboxylic Acids tutorials to go through. Gosh, I'm dreading the arrival of Promos.
Speaking of which, the timetable has been given out and I'm quite pleased with exam dates, unlike JCTs. Biology paper first and it's damn nice I tell you. Why? Because on Term 4 Week 2, there's a Biology test which practically covers half of the chapters tested from Promos. From Organisation and Control of Eukaryotic/Prokaryotic Genome all the way to Cellular Respiration. So, I can't find a reason why I should not study for this test because after the test, I just need to study 4 chapters.
SPAs are over and I just have this feeling that I did quite well for them. Maybe because the tutors have been drilling us so much so everything seemed to be quite familiar to us. For Biology, I didn't even bother to complete the whole experiment because writing down the answer is much, much more important. Agreed?
And I went back to TK on Teacher's Day eve. Gosh, the feeling of nostalgia was definitely overwhelming. It was really nice to return to a familiar place that you've spend 4 years in and called 2nd home. Met Mrs Tan, and the whole group of us was complaining to her how difficult Chemistry is now. I even told her how badly I flunked my Chemistry for JCT. Thank god, she understands and she even agrees that Organic Chemistry is interesting. Organic Chemistry FTW (: Talked to Mrs Koh and Mrs Chen. Oh, Mrs Koh says that she misses 4B so much and she even told her current form class about us. Awww. 4B'08 loves you too Mrs Koh. Chatted with Mrs Chen and somehow the conversation turned out be a complaint against Project Work.
I know I have said this many, many times but my music exam is on this coming Tuesday. I'm like panicking like there's no tomorrow because I fear for Improvisation and Hearing. Okay, maybe more of the Hearing part. Why? Because I can't really distinguish the notes from each other and the chords are not that obvious. I'm going to pray for an easy Improvisation and Hearing component. The arrangements and the exam pieces are not much of a problem. Unless Miss C forgets to do the sound for my other arrangement piece. I really, really hope it will go smoothly so that I can take my Grade 6 just before I take my A Levels. But, hey, this is my first music exam. Wish me luck.
Till then.
