Everything will change, but love remains the same.

I finally realise how close prelims are, not due to Mrs Ortega and all the other teachers' constant reminders, but due to my one look at the calender. It is a little less than 8 days to prelims and it might as well be 7 days since I have fencing and piano. I guess it is at this critical moment where we must all step up on our mugging. Before writing thei post, I was doing this assessment book on Synthesis n Transformation and Cloze. It is quite simple but I do not want to get overly-complacent. It was what caused my poor grades during the CAs this year. I really do not want that to happen again. The results for the RGS DSA are still not out yet, hopefull I can get it. If I really can, I still must get at least above 265 so that I can get the scholarship. Hopefully... I think PSLE year is quite a sad year, though not really stressful to me. It is in this year where I am sad towards getting 90/100 for practise paper instead of 98 or 100, especially when it is not due to carelessness but not understanding the problem.

It seems like the entire ambience at school is getting a little tense with the teachers trying all they can, thinking that we students do not care at all but actually we do, we really do. Perhaps we do not want to make it as obvious as it is so that even that little tinge of happiness during this critical period does not disperse. I know that we will still have many more major examinations in the years to come, especially since most of us will be going to universities. PSLE is just one of the more minor examinations among all the major ones. Seems like if I cannot even conquer this one I will face much more obstacles in the near future. I somehow believe I can scrape through this thing, and believe that all my friends can too. The teachers may seem rather bad now, but I still really thank them, practise papers have really made me learn a lot. Perhaps the more effort we put in, the happier we will feel on the last day of our PSLE.

I remember being dragged to a corner at the 6th floor lifts with Mrs Ortega and Christabel. We were both lectured on our declining work quality and all. i guess many of the pupils have gotten such lectures too, whether privately or openly. Mine was quite a wake-up call though I thought it came a little too late. I think I got a few lectures like that too last year but so far mrs Ortega's has been the only on this year, excluding cls lectures. I feel like all the teachers are trying really really hard, and yet not acheiving much though it is not their fault. Maybe it is more effective to self-study? Fortunately, I have discovered my new friend who wil hopefully, accompany me in my mugging. He is my brothers ipod, not to forget the ear pieces that fit my ears exactly. Thank you ipod. feel the beat. 7-8 more days people! jia you, hopefully lal goes well... ((((((:
