i attended the second half of school today, primarily because i had thought that the first half would not have any lessons in it, and i was mostly right, though i could not have foreseen that mr.quek would have decided to come in during the strand 1 lesson in the morning since he didn't yesterday. 

oddly enough, the 3 lessons i had hoped to attend turned out to be of little use. 

first, i had finished all the math worksheets so far save for one vector question, and i cleared up my doubt in the first 10 minutes. 

second, econs was merely 40minutes long, and apart from being called upon, quite uncharacteristically by my tutor, to contribute an answer and repeating it for the benefit of justin who asked and being asked to turn around since i was sitting in front and speak the second time round (ignore this sentence if it makes no sense, it really is just my stream of consciousness), i headed for history. 

there, the lesson was abruptly halted about 10 minutes in because of an announcement to head to the auditorium prematurely for the emergency exercise debrief, though i did finish typing the last part of my answer to the activity we had begun in the lab yesterday. 

said debrief (for an emergency exercise i had missed since i wasn't around earlier in the day) was more sleep-inducing that an off-point chapel service, if that's even possible. 

studying for IOC in B3-07 with Mel and Gerald was extremely engaging, and these sessions remind me why it is i like staying back to study rather than doing it alone at home - company and variety are the bright sparks in what is otherwise a monotonous mugging maelstrom. 

gradually working my way up to Noon on Friday, August the 15th.
