yesterday during the racial harmony day thingum we had after chapel, there was this item involving a commemorative jingle in which the chorus was simply a recitation of the ASEAN member countries, preceded by alliterative adjectives.
what made it really funny was how the row i was sitting in had cielo/lex, our resident filipino scholars, and so it was little surprise that we loudly joined in during the final repetition of the appropriate line, "Fun Philippines", drawing curious stares from the rest of the level.
and on sunday, someone mentioned that the week had been particularly strenuous because sleep wasn't as abundant as usual, and that late nights had been draining.
i can't quite remember who said it or the details, but all i know is that i had thought to myself - that's an unusual week?
if you're in IB, that's like any other day. getting 5 hours of sleep is the exception, more than it is the rule, and anything above that is a luxury reserved for those post-assignment deliriums.
that's perhaps part of what makes it a far more challenging course than anything offered to pre-university students here, something the news article about RJ planning to offer the IB in yesterday's papers pointed out.
today passed pretty quickly, and i left school at the gloriously early hour of 2, basking in my lack of lessons a little too outwardly that my math tutor noticed while i was about to leave school (i would have been staying back for his lesson on normal circumstances)
those 3 extra un-schooling hours simply meant i could proceed with my task of EE/World Lit 2 printing at a less rushed pace.
with these two assignments (a total of more than 80 pages in an afternoon) printed, i have officially arrived at the end of my non-year-end-paper assessments, IOC notwithstanding.
for that, i've been dutifully toting my copy of King Lear around the entire day, getting the chronology and important scenes memorized so i can start on the arduous process of script-writing (hopefully) before the 15th of August.
and on a kindaof happy note, i end at 2 tomorrow as well.
