Call me a toot. But I realised why I thought I lost my colour palette toolbar and was figuring out its mysterious disapperance. Then I found our that I've been using the Edit Html function all along, not Compose. HAHA. Talk about blonde moment.
Looking for skins(Not a racist, mind you), procastinating actually.
Honestly, how do you study for Lit?
Sigh. Tuesday, come quick.

This post is meant for Fishy-
don't fret too much over exams okay!
I know the revision has been quite intensive, but you must NOT burnout alright. Just remember that all your friends are always around to listen to you whenever. So, don't stressstress(:
There will always be sunshine after the rain.

I would really love to take this opportunity to practise my freedom of speech and talk about this very EVENTFUL week, but then that would have to mean making my blog private. Much as i really would love to indulge in the freedom of an unrestrained heart, I fear I can't. But here's how much I can divulge: this week has gotta be the worst week ever. And I'm not just talking about exams. I'm talking about home and family and all the issues that occur on a regular basis. To the extent that it becomes really uncondusive for learning and I usually go to bed feeling really down, or crying myself to sleep. Would love to elaborate, but don't wish to since this is a public blog, but the point is that I was actually going to visit the school counsellor and talk to her. But then today, I dunno what happened, some sign from God or just plain lazy, I decided not to.
Exams didn't really go too well. Honestly, each time I do the papers for the different subjects, I see my life flashing before my eyes(yes, comical but true) and the fear of retaining is recurrent. Lit paper 1 was alright I guess, but I was really disappointed with geog cos it was the subject I invested heavily in terms of time, energy and resources. Yet the paper was terribly un-doable, I thought. Actually it's just an issue of time management. All my papers I ended up not finishing. Econs as well. I couldn't get to the conclusion for most of my qs. Math, was suprisingly, and for the first time in my life, managable. Just that I totally knew how to do the macluarins series qs, just that I usually take superlong to attempt it and I only had 5 mins to do it. So yes, that pretty much sums all the papers this week. Finally able to take a breather, only Lit left and I will be done.
Somehow, this week has been the ominous thundercloud looming over my head, and I dread going home sometimes because I just don't feel the same security and peace I did when I was younger(yes, I was more angsty then but there were less distractions). But then again, as they say, whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine after the rain. And rays of sunshine did come, penetrating those dark looming clouds, in the form of friends(:
Yes, friends who never fail to brighten my day intentionally or unintentionally. Thank you my dear, for hearing me out on tues though it was really late at night and i was probably disturbing your revision. It's nice of you to make me feel better. Not forgetting, the dear old council CA wingers, though I really thought todays mtg was an irrelevance. But I still can't help but laugh when I think of Clare attacking the drums, or when Majella was trying to talk on her phone while Nadine painted her nails and she was sticking out her hands in this i'm-such-a-bimbo pose. Or when Frip wanted to "strum out her anger" on James' guitar, and she did, but no sound came out. OH man. Hilarious! I guess these are just the little moments that really make your day or your week; that the road ahead isn't as perilous or daunting that it seemed like through myopic eyes.
Oh and today I studied in the LRC after council mtg with guin, matt and their classmate upon her very kind invitation. During which we had yeah, you guessed it, incoherent sms conversation #2!
I really was tempted to post it, but then in order to protect some identities, I would have to self-censor it, which means losing its so-lame-can essence. It'd be like watching Lust, Caution censored. Bland.
Oh yes, on a random note, a really lame thing happened this week as well. It was after geog and Kath, Arthur and I were walking to the canteen. Then Arthur was trying to aim his rubbish inside the dustbin but he missed and it landed elsewhere. To which I was like,
" Tsktsk. Arthur! Your aiming sucks!"
To which Kath said
"Jocelyn! How can you say that? You'd hurt his feelings!"
Actually, being the pentium 2 processor that i am, it took a while for the joke to sink in. For the uniniated, both Arthur and Aiming are rumoured couples of our class, hence the pun on the word aiming. Get it? Haha.
Like I said, it's the little moments. Indeed.

You're on the path to self-destruction, and all I can do is just watch

A rather intereting and incoherent sms conversation with Mother Superior in the LRC today. Note: She was seated alone at the table next to mine.

Sister moss: Why alone? Waiting for archbishop?
Mother Superior: YES! HE hasn't come yet. I thought I was gna receive a msg from him. Turned out to be you..SIGH.
Moss: Oh dear. Sorry I dashed your hopes. Kena cheated. Now you don't have a date. Boo. Nvm. There's still the pope.
MS: When there is a pope, there is hope. STUDY LAH. You are supposed to be a role model for the junior nuns.
Moss: Oh wow. Pope means hope eh. Junior nuns? Junior none! We are the juniors. Oh at least I am. Maybe you got promoted. I dunno. Must be you bribe the archy. Nunhood is no good.
MS:Seriously, what does the ministry feed you with? Full of rubbish! Nvm I will donate food to the ministry. They rly shld feed you with more nutritious stuff.
Moss: No thanks. I think I will get food poisoning and die. Make sure nicholas supervises the cooking. Nicholas as in archy. You are so thin yourself.
MS: We shld stop all these rubbish. Later the entire chia clan hunt you down then you know! I'll make sure I laugh my way to the vatican city!
Moss: If you want to go vatican, you need to DSA first thru your nunnery. So study hard! I won't distract you anymore. Actually only one person can distract you. Wait after that you cannot DSA then your heart break.
MS: I thnk tt sometimes you talk too much for your own gd. I need to stop the nunnery to stop conducting speech lessons for you girls. I need to shit. Haha really.
Moss: Looks like someone needs speech lessons. You need to be more civilised in your speech. Shitting is like your calling. If you need to go, you really have no choice right.
MS: I am so cold that I am shivering now. I hope u had a nice dream of me during your nap. Teehee.
Moss: Wear your jacket. If I had a nice dream, it won't have you. Heh.
MS: Of course. It'd be the pope. HAHAHA. I just wore. Couldn't tahan anymore.
Moss: Why wd the pope cm in my dream? So strange. He'd come in yours for sure. The ppl in vatican throw rocks at you.

As you can see, studying in school is extremely productive.
GAH.
I really want to go OCIP!:(
Oh GP sucked, btw. Really really REALLY hope I don't screw up. OH MAN.

UPDATE!

This week has been pretty-muggerish, though its been a pretty slow regime. Like I can spend 2(@$&$!) hours at night study just doing 5 partial fraction integrations. LIKE WTH. At this rate, I'm never gonna finish my Math paper. Sigh. Ah WR is drawing to an end, can't wait to hand in the WR and concentrate only on studies. My PW group rocks! Honestly, we are the bestest team members with a really focused group leader. I can only give credit to God for being in CJC042.
OMG, only 9 days. NOOOOO. I swear, time flies like an arrow. And fruit flies like a banana. HAHA. And to think it was 70 days when I was talking to my classmates about it. This recurrent habit of waiting till the eleventhhour, seriously. Everytime I want to get started, my greatest enemy is myself. Procrastination kills. Really. Hope this doesn't have such distratous consequences, I really want to be in 2T11 next year. I need time management skills, how does Guin do it? Everytime I talk to her, she seems to be on top of things. Need to take a leaf from her book.
I realised that I can't really study at home. Nothing ever gets done. And its worse during the weekends, cos I wait until like Sunday night when I start my work. Maybe I should study out more often. But that would mean more money. Which is not feasible, seeing as how I don't really like asking my mother for money.

Sigh. Two luxuries which I don't have. Money and time.

Going back to IJ tmr for invest! Can't wait to meet the juniors and engage in incoherent banter. HAHA.
