And so it begins...

And so it begins, the great battle of our time (exaggerating slightly there hahas). This will be the final test of our skills etc etc. haha

Best wishes and I'll see you all on the other side!

(by the way this isnt the fabled post. That will occur in due time e.g. after Nov 2 haha)

Midway

Hello once again I have decided to use the title 'midway' as it is very appropriate.

Exams. Exams Exams. Have just crashed through 4 of them. Have got 3 to go. Well, I should have posted in the middle of Bio just to make it REALLY Midway HAHAHAHAHAA.

Speaking of Bio. It was alright, as in it was not as gay as I had anticipated. Those who saw me this morning would know I was practically shatting myself because of the sheer amount of crap we had to know and recall. I think I spent more time in a frenzied whirlwind saying, "Oh crap, blah blah blah" than actually looking at the stuff. But anyway in the end it was tolerable.

Going back to MAths. It was hard, period. I was flipping through the pages just to see if there were any easy pickup mark questions to do (there were hardly any). But what was fun was how we were playing scissors paper rock while they were collecting the papers. Haha.

And then there was English before that. Paper 1 was alright, I suppose. Then came Paper 2. Questions were reasonable...until I mental blanked throughout the exam. Such was the case that Module A's essay needed a bit of...abridging. But then again that was P and P. I like Citizen Kane more, but thats just me.

And something else that is also as konstant as k (that is the k you meets in maths, chem, etc. that just means any arbitrary constant), is of course people dwelling. As some of you would know I would zoom out of the hall like there's no tomorrow, and for good reason too.

Enough for today! Good luck everyone for (the rest of) your exams.

Pre-trial notions

Okay a pre-trial blog, following tradition,

So... good luck everyone. But remember there's life afterwards. OK I think I am being cheesy now, just like my belonging short story as people in my English class can attest to.

One day I was trawling through the SMH, and man this character in SMH letters signifies the epitome of idiocy. If you would care to read below:

Slow drivers the limit

Correspondents in the eternal debate about speeding (Letters, July 30) have referred in reverential tones to the speed-compliant driver, the little law-abiding ninny who never does a kilometre over the speed limit.

Enough. It is this very person who causes difficulties. Speed limits are set at the lowest common denominator. They are not set to accommodate good, or even average, drivers. They are designed for people who can barely drive in a straight line or notice other cars, let alone anticipate or perform complex traffic movements. Law-abiders do 50 km/h because they are incapable of doing 51.

Anyone lacking the confidence to safely drive at 10km/h over any given speed limit makes a strong case that they should not be on the road. Rather than such incompetents being further encouraged to slow down the majority of road users, they should be asked to keep up with traffic.

If this fellow is serious, which is probably the case, then he is rather deluded or suffers from extreme ignorance or arrogance. "they are incapable of doing 51 km/h" What?? It takes little skill to step on the accelerator. People who speed and crash generally aren't out of control. Quite the contrary. They think they can manage the freedom of deliberately ignoring the speed limit.

I'd like to see this guy try and pull that crap when he's rounding those bends that have a strict limit otherwise your car will zoom off the road.


Anyway on other things Bohemian Rhapsody was pretty good today. I thought, we should have made the scaramouche bit more dramatic, something like this:

Scara-MOUCHE!!!

I did that during one of our last practices and because I was one of the few who did I looked pretty dumb haha.



Ah, now it occurs to me, English short stories. It seems that there are only four outcomes in a short story:

• Subtle - if marker likes story.
• Obscure - if marker hates.
• Overt/clear link - if marker like.
• In your face/ham-fisted/simplistic blah blah blah - if marker hates.

So yeah if you try and make it too deep and meaningful it gets lost anyway.

And another thing, those of you who do chem, are you going to call your chemist guy "Luke (not his real name)"? I am giving serious considerations to doing that in this upcoming exam.

Goodbye for now.



Bee tee double-yew if you read this post before 21/8/2009 then clearly you are procrastinating XD

Midway

Alright I have decided to break my self-imposed exile from blogger-ism.

There is nothing to say about exams except that Bio and 3-poonit were both quite ridiculously ridiculous.

Which brings me to a point.

Why do some people dwell on exams gone by so much. e.g. straight after a bio exam people would go on and on about what they did or did not do.

Uhh, slight problem...it's already happened!! Maybe some remarks are alright. But when it starts messing with your mind's wellbeing (sorry I don't know the word right now, but in canto it's sum ching "heart (something)") then maybe its not alright.

OH NO!!! 3 poonit mathematics tomorrow. THAT means that afterwards half the grade is going to be super-dwelling on it and drawing in the air outside the exam room (to show their homies how they drew some graf or whatever). HAHAHA.

Sorry, sometimes I am so stupid.

Good luck everyone for your remaining exams. Don't get too stressed out (alright that might seem easier said than done). Because in the grande scheme of things there are much more important things.

GOODBYE

Sorry for the hard-to-understandness of this post. I did a sort of stream of consciousness thing, as Bal told us to do last year (those in my 3U last year can relate to this).

Comment pls!!

Upcoming exams

Hey!

Before I begin, might I wish everyone all the best for their upcoming exams. Remember not to get to stressed out (alright that might seem unrealistic)

NOW!!

Check the date NOW!

If the date on which you are reading this post is before 26 June 2009 and you are in year 12 at Ruse, close this window/tab NOW NOW NOW! You are clearly pro-crap-stinating xD. Seriously.

If not read on.

One of Stephen Chau/Chow's best movies. Fight back to school 2 (逃學威龍 2). Here's a bit below (for non-cantos the subtitles are just as good).




Pretty much what happens is that a police officer in the Hong Kong equivalent of SWAT, gets fully demoted to traffic duty and rage quits. But then he discovers a terrorist plot to blow up a school and he goes undercover with his homies from the previous movie to foil their plot.

Now hopefully I don't give too much away. I recommend you watch the movie. SO extremely funny!

Remember! No more procrastination during this period!!! xD


Good luck everyone.


AUF WIEDERSEHEN!
