I need to work on concentration and discipline, so from today onwards I shall divide my time nicely, and make sure I allocate myself time to post, and also time for reading and stuff.
Been extremely busy lately, but it's sad when days go by undocumented. However (sound like an English essay now), I've done some vlogging, so here is the first Tioman vlog. Please go and watch it, and like and subscribe and share with your friends, because it would mean a lot to me. Secretly, secretly, I really want to just earn money off YouTube. That would be great.
What's happened lately? Hell week after hell week has rolled by, with quizzes and assignments and project deadlines and presentations and tests and failing and passing and being grateful for passing and coordinating things and filming and creating incredibly awesome videos and Sports Day and Teacher's Day and Tioman and Brunei and work oh work.
My respect for teachers dipped slightly for a moment, then increased crazily right after that, because we made this video we can't really talk about and can't show any students. The bottom line is that teachers can act, and know how to have fun, and are generally more awesome and more human than we ever thought they were.
First day of last term of Year 5 today. Time doesn't just fly; it clubs you on the head, and then makes a quick getaway on an X-43A while you're dazed and recovering.
Rearranged our seating arrangement again, because it's the start of a new month and that's what we do when this happens. We're starting to have this sneaking suspicion that the random number generator in our GCs is hardly random, because we always end up sitting next to the same few people again and again. Strange.
Anyway, been progressively moving from the back to the front, so now I'm sitting right in the front row with Sree, Deborah and Pin within talking distance.
Had Chem first thing in the morning. Did transition metals and complex ion naming and stuff. Still much easier than organic Chem now. We were all strangely high, and were passing around sweets and things Muru and Aris got from Korea and Adrian from Taiwan (sadly they didn't manage to snag any girls, but oh well).
Had a Biochem prac after that. Totally forwent Prac 3 and jumped to Prac 4, because Prac 3 isn't graded. Simply blended spinach leaves with isolation medium, then spun twice, then split up pellet solution and placed tubes under light (and one tube in the dark). Yeah, photosynthesis.
Wasn't much work, so we spent most of the time just talking and waiting for things to blend and filter and spin and photosynthesise. Talked about Adrian and Aris' exchange experiences, and about how we were all missing Tioman terribly.
Then had a talk during the assembly slot (got to miss the house meeting) about Singapore's marine life by Ria Tan, who was quite awesome. Turns out Singapore's marine ecosystems, tiny as they are, actually do exist, and it really sucks that people are just mindlessly burying coral reefs and killing off precious individuals of precious species. It really is a waste to have such beautiful things destroyed. I mean, they made such a huge deal out of that ruined Jesus fresco, and hardly anybody cares about this. So sad.
Kay, E-learning tomorrow, so no school. Yay.
Night.
