Finally, we're exam free. but we can't go around rejoicing too much yet; it's only for a week. there's still physics mock next monday, as well as various assorted tests during class time. you know, i'm really looking forward to announcing the date when i'll be free of all exams. following the trend my life is taking now, i think that'll only be in about 6 to 7 years' time, seeing as army and university still lie ahead. saying that makes me feel young and old at once. hmm...that didn't really make much sense, did it? but that's how i feel, so oh well.
and speaking of class time, the new adjusted timetable starts tomorrow! WE END SCHOOL AT ONE PM EVERY DAY!!! my goodness! i'm so happy. thing is, ever since entering CJC in january last year, i have never left school before 2:00pm on a normal school day (i.e. no exams, events, functions etc). i think that it's quite obvious as to why i'm so excited about this new timetable thing. then again, there might be some downsides, like not spending enough time on study. i mean, a 1:00pm dismissal causes you to lose 4 hours of study time as compared to a 5:00pm one, ceteris paribus. but enough about that. i guess it's sort of a test of mental discipline to spend the free 4 hours constructively (and i don't mean by building castles in the sky. get it? constructively. ok, so it's not that funny. but give me credit for trying, yes?). "mental discipline"...i'm starting to sound like Mrs Loke. in the wrong way. i wouldn't mind sounding like her when she's explaining maths concepts, because that shows i understand all of them like she does, which is good for my A-levels. but sounding like her when she's lecturing the class on focus, discipline and various other virtues? no thanks. makes me feel...wise (which is a nicer way of saying "old").
i think i should hide my charger cable or do something equally (and maybe more) drastic to get myself off the computer. at least for now. it's not good to be online so much, especially with exams drawing ever closer. we're at about 70+ days now and counting down, i think. 70+ days. just think. a few weeks (or had it been months already?) ago, i posted that we were comfortably in 3-digit figures. then, somehow, it dropped to 2 digits. 9 became 8, 8 became 7. 7 will soon become 6, then 5, then 4, and so on until both digits reach 0. scary thought, really. i'm just thinking out loud here, but if i were to take the A-levels now based on my current knowledge, i think i could get ABBD or ABCE, and a merit for S-paper. not too good, if i'm looking for a higher-end university, which i hope i will be able to do. ok. so here's the ultimatum. wednesday is my last day of computer usage. after that, cable goes in my dad's car, and laptop goes back in its bag. until 22nd november. it's going to be tough, but time heals all wounds i guess. besides, it's only temporary. and it's only until november. ONLY. no big deal.
some guy/girl/amorphous alien being has been posting on my tagboard under the name of "test". well, it could be that the tagboard guys are trying to check something, and if they are, i apologize because i've been deleting the messages. and that's what happens when you don't leave a name or URL i can recognize when posting.
i just watched the judo farewell video. apparently the juniors think i study a lot. can we all say "joke of the decade" (note: it's not "century" yet)? ask anyone from my classes, past or present, who know me well enough, and they will tell you i'm as much of a slacker as the next guy, or worse. don't know where they got that idea. oh well. i'd never thought i'd leave the impression of me being a mugger on anyone. but still, if that's how they see me, so be it.
other than that, my econs and chem mocks went pretty ok. i wrote 3 sides for the DRQ (and nearly forgot to hand it in. *gasps*), and 4 sides for case study. couldn't feel my hand after that. i'm starting to worry for my chem and econs MCQs. i'm slipping, and slipping bad. structured will pull me up though. overall...i think A and C, or A and B if i'm lucky. worst case, B, D.
well, that does it for me here. initially, i thought that this post would be very much shorter, like half-size or something. but when the thoughts flow, it just got longer naturally. it's rare that i feel peaceful these days. must be the stress getting to me. i wonder though, based on the amount of work i'm doing, 'what stress?'.

-random thought of the day: I feel like playing City of Heroes/Villains! After A-levels that is.-
