currently listening to: Graduation [Vitamin C]
i am currently on the verge of death. the shinigami has finally come to claim me after yesterday's legendary 'physical conditioning' at ACJC.
this was exacly how i felt when i opened my eyes this morning. seriously, MUSCLE ACHES ARE KILLING ME!!! every single action i do is accompanied by painful aches as if my bones are cracking and my muscles are tearing apart. i am now walking around the house in crab-style.
school has been the same, except that now we have more tutorials than anything. and i'm beginning to feel intimidated by the subject Economics when i found out yesterday while doing my homework that i'm an idiot at reading graphs. math isn't that bad, except that the teacher doesn't seem to know that he's been teaching us the same thing over and over again.
"you see, 8=2 to power of 3." (SAME example over and over again)
"yeah~~"
"which is the base?"
"2~~"
"is 3 the power??"
"yeah~~"
"ok, so you've got the basics. so let me introduce you to the KINGDOM OF LOGARITHMS..."
"ahh... actually you've taught us all that already. the kingdom part too."
-__-"
but the good thing about him is that he's patient and won't flare up easily. so we are usually lte for his classes. *wahahahah*
literature is suddenly turning out to be a much more interesting subject. not that the teachers are very interesting, of course, but it's the subject and its use of the english language that intrigues me. maybe i should change my view of shakespeare, though nothing can change the fact that he's gay.
did i tell you that i have no idea how to do a tutorial outline? day 1 and the history teacher stepped in and asked us to do our tutorial outlines before we come for lessons. we explained that we didn't know what an outline is so she explained. i checked the timetable and realize that there is a history lecture tomorrow. i went home and completed the tutorial outline, only to be pissed off the next day when she didn't ask for it (i worked till 11pm!!!). day 3 and the other history tutor stepped in and taught us how to do a tutorial outline (the same thing) again and reminded us that a tutorial outline should NEVER EVER be done the day before the tutorial and i was like -___-.
so it seems like there should be much reading-up on the topic discussed in the tutorial question before attempting it. i wonder how i managed to come out with 3 pages when i hadn't done any reading before. i guess i'm gonna get a bad mark for it, with all my lousy bullshitting.
oh did i mention that my brother's back from army after 2 weeks of BMT training already?? he's going back to the army camp on Sunday. like what he expected, he got off easy with his flat-foot problem and he spent one week walking around the area while the rest of the platoon underwent training. now they call him "General" cause he's one of the few lucky ones who can walk around the training area in SLIPPERS and not get 'tekan-ed' by the officers with a hundred push-ups.
he's currently waiting for his medical report now to confirm whether he's fit for training or not. if he's not, he gonna be downgraded to Pes C, where the training is much less tougher. if he's fit for training, he has to pay back at least 1 week of training, which means that he'll be training while the others happily head home for dinner. which is better?? i guess we all know.
i haven't read the newspapers for 3 days already. oh man, i have a bad feeling about my JC life.
how did sec 4 pass so quickly???
