the opposite of your's actually.
had a band performance for mid-autumn festival today - SO MUCH FUN! :D
we played Mulan and Spirited Away - both of which rocks, by the way.
and we had a half-day in school cos of that.
(:
it's okay so far.
my conductor's been in a pretty good mood, so yeah.
we're practicing 2moro for the mid-autumn celebration on friday - at first we wanted to play 'spirited away' but it's the last day of the 7th month, so we decided against it.
:P
okay, i guess.
went to the library - this book that i really really want to borrow was supposed to be returned by 11/9 (i.e. friday), but apparently it was still on loan, so.
got a bit pissed off - i just HATE those inconsiderate people. I mean, even though the fine for overdue books are only S$0.05 per day, it's still unfair to those people who've been waiting for it for a long time.
(that person renewed it too! - in S'pore you can get a free one-time renewal of bks if you aren't able to finish reading it by 3 wks. AND THE BOOK WAS OVERDUE. 6 wks - aargh.)
and I have a piano exam 2moro.
at 9.39am.
skipping sch for the day.
blegh.
actually - not really.
in truth i think the US schooling system is even weirder -then again it' probably because I don't get it.
-shrugs-
how was your day?
erm when it's your streaming year it means that your results will determine the class you go to - whether it's a good one or a bad one, or in my sch's case, if you have to sit for O levels.
that's the national exam you take after normal secondary school, at 16.
but our school has the Integrated Programme (IP), so we get to skip that and just take the A levels at 18 instead, which is what people take after junior college, so.
actually in most schools, the students are already streamed once they leave primary school, but in my sch they just randomly placed us in different classes until our 2nd year.
oh and i have 1 sci proj, 1 sci worksheet, 1 chi past yr paper, 1 geog past yr paper, 1 ACC ( appreciation of chinese culture - super boring; no one listens to it anw) project, and 6 math past year papers.
all to be done in one measly week.
blegh.
><
today was the last day of term 3; the next term (i.e. last term of the year)'s gonna be really heatic, with the EOYs and all.
it turned out that 19th Oct's Deepavali, so there's a public hol instead of the chinese paper II we were supposed to take.
so now i have both history and chinese on the same day (14th oct) - A DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY.
and it just so happens that my worst subject is chinese and even though i like history i still have to memorise a lot of facts.
and i have geog on my birthday.
whoopee.
cool!
we never got to stay overnight.
i.e. we wake up at 5 to take the bus to school for band, which starts at 7.30, and reach home at 8.30 when band ends at 6.
i'd rather stay for a whole day.
