what wasn't supposed to be a dreadful day turned out to be just that, and the awfulness didn't come from the expected sources...
the first two periods passed by pretty painlessly, and then we had PE... pretty tough, but i think it was good to get into the swing of things...
it was like run, stretch, run, pushups, run, squats, run, knee exercises... but it was fun doing it as a class...
strangely i didn't feel completely drained after PE, but the prospect of 100minutes with naresh nearly knocked the wind out of me, so i made a trip down to get some coffee for my Starbucks bottle to sip through the lesson...
in the end, it wasn't a completely useless lesson, and by that i mean more than 20% of it was used for something other than repeating what can be read in the various books...
the real chore for me was the second history period, and that hour really ruined my day...
if anyone was wondering about what TY was referring to when he said someone had given feedback regarding useless activities like group work, it was me...
and i stand by what i said...
seriously, history lessons are fast overtaking econs as my most dreaded class...
this whole split into groups shit is starting to sound like a mantra...
annoyed to no end, i decided to give the Make-A-Wish thingy a miss and go with deon/sean/yewjin to Essential Brew for some post-school drinks and finger food...
and it was a wonderful pick-me-up before i had to get home and do more work...
with EE outta the way for now, i can do (and by that i mean touch up 'cos my drafts are normally done up well so i don't waste time redoing stuff) up my IAs for history/econs, and maybe start on some world lit and translate my TOK outline into an essay, and maybe dig up my TOK presentation slides from last year to work into a better version for rehearsal purposes...

week 4 has just begun, and i'm already tired like heck
