i can feel it. i can smell it. i can taste it. dooms day will arrive. the race has begun. it's time we say YES to studying and NO to everything else.
so i tried to come up with goals and in doing so, tried to be as realistic as possible. so here goes, the grades i wish i would be able to see for the first block test:
Econs - D
History - C
Lit - B
GP - A2
do you think it's possible? definitely, if i work hard for it.
seeing the new j1s going through their orientation reminds me of my first few days in SAJC. this might sound a little mushy and all but honestly, being in SAJC has changed my life all for the better. as cliche as it may sound, i feel brand new! i don't wish to remember the Musa 2 years back. i'm looking forward to more surprises waiting ahead.
history will remain history and a new chapter has begun. i'm just glad it's a happy one.
orientation. remember the song Only Once by Yellowcard that was played at the end of the finale concert. i will never forget that song. cos it marks the beginning of my journey as a saint.
but i'm still surprised by my choice of subject combination. when i first thought of SA i'd never imagined myself reading up books by Vadney and Crockett to have a better insight of what happened during the era of communism vs democracy. and i'd never thought the study of economics can be so mind boggling and heart wrenching.
in fact my desired subject combi was Physics Econs Lit and Maths. but of course i didn't make it to the science stream and i didn't bother thinking of appealing into the science stream. well good thing i didn't cos that subject combi was scrapped. apparently it's one of the least favourite ones. but come on! doing Physics and Lit isn't that cool?!
and then despite my lack of interest in Maths i still wanted it and opted for Econs History Lit and Maths. but my Amaths grade wasn't good enough and again, i didn't try to appeal for it. so i ended up taking a similar combi without Maths. but then again, why History and Econs? i'm still not sure if i'd made the right decision...
so much so for my subject combi. i'm in it and there's no turning back.

i went to the hairdresser and said, "give me a new style. i'm tired of spiky hair." and she took the electronic razor from underneath the mirror...
