hello, after a month i am back! :D hoho. okay so prelims are over, and now there're 44 more days to the big real exams.. and i still do not feel adequately prepared. sigh. >< anyway, here's an update.
my shortsightedness and astigmatism have both increased. shortsightedness increased for both eyes, left eye 50degrees and right eye 75degrees. astigmatism for left eye, 50degrees. so there's a horrible imbalance for my two eyes' astigmatism.. there's a difference of 75degrees. not very good. during bio lecture on thursday i realized that i couldn't see properly, my eyes were so confused because the right one couldn't see clearly (the screen was blur when i covered my left eye!) and my left eye was straining to make up for it. normally i wouldn't have seen the optician, but because it was actually BLUR and affecting my lessons, i went today. :) so, new lenses! collecting on wednesday.
i can't say i've been working very hard (and thus causing the eye degree increase) because the truth is that i haven't. once i get home i take out the itouch and start poking it. especially after the prelims because i lifted the computer ban on myself (and this also explains what i'm doing here) and can download more apps. >< sheesh. must stop this excess poking of the screen and get back to work..
some of the prelim results have started coming in. chem - relatively okay, but i don't feel very satisfied with the marks from the current papers because there were hints. from the total grade i'm gonna deduct about 8 to 10 marks to see my real chem standard. i really don't like accepting hints but i was stuck at the table and even if i tried to shut my teacher out, it wouldn't really have worked. and for the other exams some other classes get hints too. so i shall just do the minus thing and hope that i still score decently.
china studies - improvement! for one segment only. but overall mooky was quite happy (even though she can't rmb my marks exactly) so i presume i passed.. for once. maybe its actually a decent, above 50marks pass. same for gp - passed the essay. let's hope i didn't fail the compre this time! [note: if you didn't know.. i failed gp for midyears. 17/50 for essay and 23/50 for compre before moderation. my mom nearly had a heart attack because i scored for the english o's.]
maths, sad. sigh. ): may my brain be reception to differentiation, integration, complex numbers, vectors and definite integrals! my numerous mathematical achilles heels.
i've stopped organ for the time being (because i'm the only student left in the class, am waiting until the other student comes back from internship in florida) but am continuing my drums and ballet. :) stopped involvement in church stuff too.. mom complained it was taking up too much time. she made me stop since june. >< bahh.
okay now i think this is sufficiently long to bore and i am adequately tired. i shall go to sleep now and hope that waking up late tomorrow morning will give me enough sleep to ensure that i don't write stupid things like "the toe [CCP] party line" instead of "toe the [CCP] party line" like this morning.
something in my subconscious tells me i have changed my style of blogging and the way i write, perhaps because of the pressure i have been under to churn out sophisticated-sounding words and phrases for essays. but this does not mean i have changed. :D
i tell you funny joke!
where did the independent variable go when it wanted a drink?
the x bar. :)
