Tumblr-ed

Argh, I can’t remember the last time I got so annoyed at my perfectionist streak for a while. Trying to start something up on tumblr.com as a long term project, but can’t even get past fiddling with the cosmetic effects. Stupid, really.

Anyway, “the-week-after-your-exams-end-and-you-get-your-papers-back” massacre has actually been going decent for me. I kinda met my own expectations(which is just cramming) in my results. Still, it doesn’t hurt hoping for some long shots in a few subjects :V

Recently, I’ve just been finding myself pretty lethargic with things at the moment. It can’t be the trainings, I’ve already been surviving through like 3 months of this without the same issues. I guess it’s the problem of having nothing to look forward to. The nearest “event” of note would be comps, but that’s probably in another month or so. Don’t really have the same enthusiasm as I had a couple weeks ago. Kinda like the over-building up towards a peak forms an anti-climax spiral in itself.

I am just living one day at a time.
I wish could just live day one forever.

Adduction

The holidays are already over, and I can’t even remember a single day that I could sleep in.

Main issue would have to be trainings, had a 6-day week, though the last was voluntarily taking part in helping the J1’s. Still, it felt like just a longer then usual weekend. First highlights would have to be my friggin’ hair. I swear, this time the barber chose to just bastard me. “Cut slightly shorter” was somehow translated into “Gimme the NS quickie” -.-. Still, had one week to grow, guess it looks slightly presentable by tomorrow. Or I’ll start wearing a snowcap.(which might not actually be a bad idea in Lt5)

Second would have been the floorball camp and subsequent training-my-butt-off occasions. That probably took up the bulk of my time, though I don’t feel like it’s time lost or anything, still, a little break would have been pretty darn decent. :V

That aside, ended the week with a bang. Met up with Joshua/Jason/Arianto, probably the survivors of CatSoc ‘08(tm!) to plan up the EOY Catholic camp. =D Due to unforeseen circumstances last year, which included a ?angmoh?, a non-stop repetition of a certain chinese hymn, as well as SOMEONE and SOMEONE ELSE getting married(the jokes will never stop on that), we thought that maybe we could be the ones trying to carry on the tradition, and let the teachers have a break for once. Besides, we don’t want to see something which we felt has taught us that much be taken and to put it crudely, twisted into something else by someone.

Still, it was great meeting up under that name again, the last time we did was the camp itself last year. Kinda excited about the camp itself already, even though it’s like 9 months away, and I still have to get past my A’s first. One thing at a time, one thing at a time then.

Then I should be settling you first

The Lost

Brilliant, don’t you think?

So come back, come back, what are you waiting for?

Sin-bin

Argharbyleghadslfkaerhla. CT’s start tomorrow, screw ‘em. Some people say that getting back chinese on Friday should have eased my mind and let me concentrate on the other subjects, but getting a “C” for your very first A level subject kinda sucks, even if it’s my worst subject ever. Still wanted to have done a little better for a B or some kind of miracle striking me into an A, but heck, not like I’m so desperate to the point that I want to retake it.

I’m effectively monolingual right now, maybe for the rest of my life(=D), but then, shit will always happen, you’ll never know.

Anyway, back to my main gripe, CT’s one are reduckulously timed. With training and other crap happening at the start of the year, I won’t be surprised if anyone would actually give it half a damn if they didn’t threaten to ban us from our CCA’s because of it.(also, dumb remedials) It’s more of we don’t really have the motivation to study, which -forcing- us to do so won’t help.

I randomly drafted up a few pointers for any similar people in my position on cramming tips to pass the any exam >.>:

- Don’t. Frigging. Panic. I know it sounds cliche, but running in circles around your house going “WTF12HOURSTOCTWTFHOWTOSTUDYWTFIDIELIAO” ain’t gonna help. You might as well be drinking the ashes of your notes.

- Get a good night’s rest, you can cram through the night if you want, and practically shamble into your seat the next day. I rather sleep well then nervously pinprick through my notes at 3.13 am in the morning.

- Organise your stuff, at least file them separately, or hell, even dump them in different piles. It really helps when you don’t have to dig through 6ft of paper to find something you wanted.

- If you don’t have time for a thorough revision, look through your work/past exams/papers/marked work. Probably the best “mug for time” ratio, is just looking through your mistakes in past work. Have a look at what you messed up during timed work or whatever(provided you did them through :X) and just make a mental note of what to not do in the future. You already got the other part correct, you don’t need to fix that.

- Don’t bother practicing, just get the basic concepts of things down.(Then again, it’s still better to slowly burrow through questions to improve, but hey, this topic is about revising in like < 2hours)

- Don’t go online facebooking or blogging or…oh crap.

Oops I did it again.
