So, here's another blog post about my week. It's already coming to the fourth week and I must say, third week was crazy quick. It was almost non-existent. I don't know why but time keeps getting faster and faster. This means that common test week and due dates for projects and presentations are nearing! Gosh, and soon enough, it'll be second sem. That's crazy!
Nevertheless, I could still remember some of the fun I had in school. On Monday, the class had decided to wear all blue well, basically because of the famous phrase "Monday Blues" and also because we didn't like the scheduled modules on Monday which was Bio and Maths. Despite the super long and dry day we had, I still had fun thanks to the my crazy bunch of classmates. Tuesday was black Tuesday, but we didn't take much pictures.

Anyway, in terms of studies, I really think that it's getting tougher. Maybe because of the workload which I really need to get used to. I procrastinate a lot. I always feel like I have so little time to do things, especially for myself, hence, I get tired of things super easily. Then, I end up choosing to go to sleep instead. I know it doesn't make sense but, I guess I often catch myself doing that! I mean, to a certain extent, rest is really important, but I should learn to manage my time; in which I can get enough sleep and do quality work! Or else, I'll keep on being way behind others!

Graded assessments are coming!!! For Biology, our class test is going to be in week 5. For English, our graded presentation will be this coming Thursday (which I havent prepared for). For Math, common test is coming super quick. I am very worried for Bio and Math but, I hope to catch up pretty soon. I need to really learn to procrastinate less (even though during Behavioural Sciences, we did learn that procrastination isn't ALL bad.) Talking about Behavioural Sciences, the graded journal entries are ongoing and I feel like it's about to make my head explode. The fact that every entry is being graded and the lecturer will be commenting on them (not just any comments but like something that opposes your views and make you think harder about what you already thought of), is really frightening. I mean, it's okay if you have an issue linked to the topics you learnt in mind, but if you don't and you know that you NEED to submit like two journal entries in order to catch up... then that's a major problem! But I can gladly say that I've been acing my journal entries so far, yay! (i only submitted 2 out of 8 entries so far though).
Moving on,

| cheek cells from the microscope hahaha |
On Wednesday, bio practical was really fun! We got to use the microscope again to draw out our cheek cells and it's pretty fun and interesting. I really wish biology was like that every week. No matter how difficult it is to cope with the theory part of biology, we still look forward to practical class every week.

| Out with district mates! |
On Thursday, I went to watch Oculus with my district mates (plus Aqil)! If you haven't heard of Oculus, the new horror movie, you have to go watch or read about it! It's a really mind-boggling show which I thought was scary enough to make my friend cry hahaha. The ending is really annoying and saddening no doubt, but all in all, I would rate is 8/10 for a very unusual and unexpected plot :D By the way, we watched it at my work place (Shaw Theatres) and it was nice seeing all my friends there!

| FPHS CHA CHA CLASS hehe |
Next! REALLY sad to be blogging about this but, it's already the end of our three weeks learning dance sport as S&W module. I really loved learning it and I had fun on every single session even though it starts at 8 am. The instructor was really fun and really clear in teaching us the steps and learning Cha-cha dance was a really great experience! I could confidently say that my class and I dance really well and even the instructor said that the class was a really great one; changed his impression on PFP classes! Can you imagine that? But sigh, life goes on. The next S&W module will be gym. and I don't know how to feel about that.
So, I'm really preparing myself to face week four and I should really start preparing for my bucket list speech once I get the feedback on the four things I picked in the list. But on the contrary, tomorrow is mothers' day so.. family time should be prioritized :) Oh, speaking about family, I just got to know that my dad will be going through a major surgery concerning the spine and nerves. I am honestly very very worried, but I should think and hope for the good things instead because surgeries are there to make people recover from their condition, right?
I guess that's all for the post this time. Do give me comments on how I should improve on the blog because I'm not sure how to make it interesting anymore. What more in weeks to come? I bet you'll ask us to stop blogging soon enough. Haha. Enjoy your weekend and Happy Mothers' Day to our Moms!
Madam.... very soon you'll be 32, with three kids! And getting all stressed out over which school to enrol them into, and how to pay for their further studies... time goes a second at a time, but it really does so super quickly. I'm 38 this year, but some days I wake up and wonder at all the time that's passed, and how much I've lived already. Still feel young though, almost like a kid some days!
ReplyDeleteYeah procrastination is an evil evil thing, man. There's just always *something* else to do before starting work, right? I still suffer from it but over the years I've found stuff that works for me. Associating a space with work,and a different space for 'play', for instance. So that my body recognises where and when it's time to do work/play. Also, to do lists, plus a separate column for deadlines, are great. Scares me, allows me to prioritise what to do and it's also a source of satisfaction when i'm able to strike stuff off the list. A calendar - where I'm able to see the month ahead, for instance, with events, deadlines, appointments etc all marked off, also gives me a good overview of how the next few weeks are gonna go, and I can mark out where i can set aside time for specific tasks....
think of your brain as a muscle - the more pressure you put on it, the more weights you're lifting with it... the more it grows. So the tests and lessons etc - they're not designed to be easy, but so you have one heck of a tool in your head once you're done! In any case life is always going to consist of highs and lows, and it's also important to realise that sometimes, the highs don't occur without some lows. So 'pay' for your bio practicals with math tutorials!
Ha, I can't watch horror movies. I can do gore ALL DAY - Saw and zombies etc, no problem. But once it's ghosts, I get really freaked out actually. After watching the Ring years ago, I still have fears sometimes about things crawling out of my tv! and after Paranormal Activity, which is the last horror movie i watched, i have fears about my blanket being pulled away from my body at night.... how's working at Shaw?
Heh, there's a chinese saying that roughly translates into, there's no party in the world that doesn't end. Like I said before, since you guys enjoy it so much, think about having your own cha cha sessions! And i'm sure you'll enjoy gym too!
I hope your dad will be fine, and I'm sure he will be. And you're right, family time SHOULD be prioritised. I think esp when you're at your age, that Life starts throwing more things at you, and for most of us, we tend to sacrifice family time for the other responsibilities and temptations that come our way. Make sure you don't, because at the end of the day, family will always be there for us.
Haha, it's been a great three weeks so far. Because of your name on my book marks list, I start off my sundays reading your blog first, and it's always full of energy and enthusiasm, which is infectious. Don't worry, as i said, about writing for me - write it for yourself. Ten years down the road, you can use this to revisit your time in Poly! So let it be a record of your thoughts and experiences at this specific time of your life. It's inevitable that some stuff will be repeated (and possibly my comments as well!) - but that's fine. Life repeats!
You could do an entire entry on just a movie review or piece your thoughts together on an assignment, or just share a poem etc. You do tend to write long entries, which are enjoyable to read, but if you feel like you're spending too much time on this (at the expense of other assignments or family time, etc) feel free to cut them down a little in length. But if you enjoy the writing and reminiscing about the week that's just passed, am more than happy to read what you have!
