it stills comes as somewhat of a surprise to me that week 6 is already over, and slightly prematurely 'cos the decision to let us go after the boring-as-watching-a-glass-of-milk concert was over was kinda sprung on us...
i'm glad i stayed behind and kept the study group momentum going with lucy/sean/han an ever since we decided to have it on Tuesdays as well, 'cos it meant i had slightly over an hour of pure work, and i'm finished with the organic chem tutorial we were given to prepare for the next lesson...
in essence, along with the math work i finished over the weekend, i don't have any holiday homework left outstanding =)
so maybe the World Lit 2 outlines counts as something unfinished, but it's due on week 7 and there's no EA1 strand 1 lesson on monday, so i could technically get it done after school on monday if i really wanted to...
and there's the Macroecons test on monday which i've gotta study for, and i unfortunately did not bring any econs books back, so i just might wing it and look through the stuff i HOPE i already know on monday itself...
and speaking of stuff i left in school, my TOK materials are another, which means i can't start writing my next essay draft... but that's less important compared to my presentation, and that i can do using the notes i typed out on my laptop last week building upon the slightly-above-average 15/20 mark i got for my mock...

there are two types of school days that make me feel shitty and stuff, normally with the quintessential headache to top it all off...
the first is a day with way too many lessons and far too little break or poorly scheduled breaks, and in those cases normally a cup of strong coffee, an additional cup of juice (on top of the 2 i normally have already, pineapple-watermelon and apple-orange) will keep me alive until i get home...
the second is slightly more annoying...
it's a day when there just so happen to be too few lessons and too much lull in between classes, making the time spent in school completely unjustified when compared to the marginal productivity achieved... today happened to be one of those days...
econs was a waste of time as he just repeated what we learnt yesterday...
there was no history practical 'cos of an sms i received at 4am this morning while i was doing my assessed chem pract informing me of an unfortunate incident that meant we couldn't have our test today, meaning to say i'll probably forget all i've memorised over the past few days...
so having taken a break during that lesson after writing my chem pract out again for repetition's sake, we had the actual chem pract, and that was an exercise in neat writing as i transferred my practical for the third time, getting a cramp in the process of writing too much too fast...
and since i finished slightly earlier, i had 80minutes left before the CNY concert began, and since i'd already taken a break earlier in the day, it meant i had more time to reflect on the uselessness of my day, which does bad things for morale and worsens the headache...
i need not mention how intolerable the concert was, and the only saving factor was that it ended early...
i salvaged what was left of the day during study group, which at least eased my conscience slightly knowing that week 6 wasn't completely wasted...

so yup, that's the week for ya, and i'm just gonna take the next 5 days nice 'n easy, gearing up for what is sure to be a hectic last 4 weeks of term...

but if they do,
your's does likewise.
