Ambiguous certainty...
high on niccotine now....nearly keeled over at the windowsill when i was smoking jus now.
shall finish this blog as soon as i could.
eventful day in sch jus now. talking bout class dynamics...
the class reps (glo n aida) were fed up wif collecting money from the class for all the various teacher's day presents n stuff and the class was fed up wif having to pay so much for all the class n sch stuff, voluntarily or forced. lets see wat we need to pay for recently...
$20 for end of yr class chalet
$7 for econ notes
$1 for tcher's day cards the sch forced us to buy (compulsory, wat the hell?!)
$10 for our class tutors' tcher's day presents (supposedly at this amt)
n thats how much each of us have to pay. this week. arrrrgh.
not to mention the $80++ bucks we had to pay last week for retaking our SATs.
been paying thru my nose.
no wonder the class's unhappy.
in the end some of the class (layhoon they all) had a fight wif the class rep (aida) today =/
could almost smell the explosive powders in the air...fireworks everywhere (ok, jus in that one perios break).
0.o
they were unhappy mainly over the $10 that each of our class 24 pple had to pay for our tutors' pressies ($240 jus for presents for 6 tutors?!).
n unhappy over the tantrums showed by the reps.
the class were passing nasty letters ard in lectures today ticking them off...
actually, most were mainly directed at aida but she wasn't ard to read it n glo beared the brunt of it thinking it was directed at her...=/
but frankly, wif all the money i've been paying lately, i can understand y they're so pissed wif having to pay so much 'voluntarily' for our tutors' presents on topof the stuffs made compulsory by the sch already.
agree more wif layhoon's method of paying (pay $1 for each subject we take, which is bout 3 subjects=$3) n amt all these money to buy pres for each subject tutors should be enuf le. should be more than enuf to get them mugs or table ornaments or bouquets of flowers each.
but feeling a bit sorry for aida who'd to bear the brunt of the burden of a class rep, not to mention the fireworks from several members of the class today...
wanted to go comfort her initially, but she'd built a defensive wall ard her after the quarrel, pretty unapproachable. poor thing... =/
nvm, i dun care animore. jus go wif the flow. see how much they intend to pay in the end lo.
but of cos, i'd prefer to pay the $3 one...cheaper n more practical.
nvm, to other things now...
jjl came into class in one of her wierd moods today.
sat on the desk n talked to us (lecture was more like it) for nearly the whole lesson before settling down to less than 10mons of tutorial. apparently she's pissed wif our class attitude n bad attendence (apple again, din come for sat's lit test. coming up wif all sorts of reasons. got so much money to take mc mite as well put it to better use! save it lar! duh). then she mentioned a few 'slippery characters' in our class like benny n benji. y them tho?? poor things... dunno how jjl's mind works somehow.
but she mentioned a few of our class had "turned over a new leaf".
actually got this feeling she was toking bout me (judgeing from my bad past track records wif her) before she turned to me n yujie (another problem student, sitting beside me today). yup, its us all rite.
then she said she's glad.
and u noe wat??
she said that she's "quite certain" we'll get our As if we continue this positive trend.
0.0
wow...thats like quite a compliment coming from her *raise eyebrows*...
but she hasn't marked my most recent sat's test obviously!! else she wouldn't have said that le!!
boy...she's gonna be like so angry she has to eat her words today man...
half of the second lit essay not done!!
i'm dead. so dead.
n i hope she doesn't holler too loudly in class after she's seen my papers...*shudder*
still, it feels nice for a change (since sec. sch) to have teachers putting their hopes in you... :)
(even tho she noes she'll be mistaken after marking my test papers)
an A for lit?? i barely dared to dream it sia.
i'm only good in her paper, but not the other two...wud probably bring my average down in the 'A's =/
hope not... *cross fingers*
its so hard to have a teacher "quite certain" that i can get an A in any subject, esp judging from how i'm progressing now...yeeaarrrgh =/ it'll be a nice change if i can have a teacher's confidence in my abilities.
prelims in 2 to 3 weeks' time.
'A' level in bout 11 to 12 weeks.
stress sia. gotta pia le...esp for my econs!! going nowhere.
prob take me a near miracle to get a pass for my prelims. how am i gonna aim for my 'A's like that??
hai...wud be happy if i can get A B B for 'A's...but that seems like such a far dream...
k, must jiayou le!! *grit teeth*
afterall, i dun wan my two yrs in JC to be for naught =/
yup, gambate pple!! =)
