Exactly what I thought of this morning.
Today was an overall great day I guess (considering it's a Monday). The morning started off with false hope when I thought the heavy rain wouldn't stop until I reach school but it did when I was about to leave the house so there was no cabbing (which also meant I might be late for school). Took the train, checked the time almost every other minute and checked if 158/158a was arriving Aljunied. Just when I was deciding between taking the circle line or 158a (since I missed the 158 already), I decided to have faith in 158a (which was arriving in 3 min), headed on to alight at Aljunied and the trusty 158a didn't let me down (thank god). So not only was I not late for school, I reached at 7:44am which was pretty early for me. Shall skip the part about me spending the 10+ min in the audi toilet.

Flag raising was a waste of time as usual and the only entertaining part would be waiting for Rachel to appear and hurry to the class but she didn't appear today. Thought she was late (which is quite rare since she only did once last year) so I concluded she might be sick and begin planning how I'm going to spend the rest of the day myself. Surprisingly she came from the back this morning. Yep, she ran to school from the front gate. Which also meant I didn't have to spend the rest of the day myself hooray.

School started off with econs and we were having an essay test so that feeling really sucked. I'm should be thankful I dedicated one day to revise the essays I wrote during the holidays (revision does come in handy some time) because well, I had something to write. Stoning during a test is the WORST feeling ever. Anyway, all was good I hope I answered it correctly (although 99% of the time when I thought I had it all, I had none) but yep, I was a happy girl after the test.

Had Thai food (perhaps for the rest of my life) for recess and did my job as a Math Rep for the last time (I'll explain why later). Collected Vectors III notes and distributed it to class. Headed for geog lecture and spent the time talking to Rachel and Ruiqi. Can't blame me, everything from geog lectures mainly come from the notes so -
I had the hardest time of my life during GP tutorial then. I can't paraphrase words (why can't we have it in Chinese) and even with Merriam-Webster, I paraphrased 'passive' wrongly... Why is life so difficult??? The rest of GP was spent discussing about parks in SG. I thought of Bird Park but obviously that wasn't the kind of parks we were discussing hm.

It was math lecture and life was boring but I paid attention to the lecture anyway.. And not to forget the people behind who were noisy (peer tutoring, singing christmas songs, talking really loud even though they were sitting next to each other) which makes my life difficult again since it was almost impossible to concentrate (that was when I could finally apply something I learn from bowling - shut out).

Then it was lunch and I finally bought milk (after reading the 10 benefits of drinking milk daily online) and food from Korean stall. Bought my 3 pen refills too. PC period was a waste of my life, I'm sure we all had a great time classifying things under importance and urgent and doing goal setting. The only quite useful thing was the re-election of class comm. *drum rolls* I was promoted to secretary (not like there's really things to do under that). But to be honest, although I hate collecting money from people and distributing notes, I kind of miss being a math rep....

The last thing for the day was the individual phototaking for the stupid photolog. I was super awkward in front of the camera and my facial expression was tense (according to the photographer). Laughed a lot because it was so funny I went cockeye a few times while staring into the camera..

That's the end of my typical school day (you must be glad). Tomorrow is a short day and I'm deciding if I should head to the gym (oh lazy me). Oh and there's physics tomorrow which I'm not looking forward to, I'm going to disappoint the nice teacher by not completing the tutorial questions.
