Hello friends!
Commons are over, and I am back! MG has declared the next two days off, as elearning days, so I find sleeping early today extremely unpurposeful, as my happiness and rest is entirely short-lived, stretching over today, tomorrow, and the weekends. And then I find myself back to being stuck in the vicious cycle of preparing for the End of years, and subsequently moving on to sec 4 - a fact that I do not wish to dwell upon just yet. But yes, it has seemed that common tests have dragged on for entirely too long.
But now they are over and I am only afraid of my results.
A Math was alright, Chem was surprisingly good, I definitely passed chinese according to laoshi, which is plain comforting, everyone in our class had passed our history commons and we are allowed to redo our ICT - and have it recounted.
I am afraid to be disappointed, but if I am I guess I would just have to get over it anyway, yes?
Term 3 has been insane in the sense that the moment we step back into school - fresh out of the June holidays, the rest of the SLs that have not been previously notified of our roles in RYC were all deployed immediately, and so began the tiring 5-week prep for RYC, that had been worth it anyway. And when all things seemed like it had came to a standstill a short period after RYC, seven of us were tasked to do National day, and that began another three week haul, that had been so fun yet so tiring. And when that was over, we were all sucked into the prospect of commons in 2 weeks'. I nearly died rushing through a term's worth of content in 2 weeks.
I helped my brother practice for his Chinese Oral tomorrow for PSLE by listening to him read Chinese. It was so amusing HAHAHA. He emphasised on every single word. I wonder if I sounded like that during my Os Oral.
Term 3 has taught me a lot of things. (I feel like I'm in such a reflective mood because I haven't blogged properly for a while):
Recently, it has taught me - or rather, my sister has - that many people are going to say many things. And it is up to ourselves to judge whether they are right or wrong - to have something to learn out of it. It has taught me not to let what others' say get to me, and instead to get something out of it.
It has taught me that I need to be more sure of my worth. Time and time again I find my worth being brought down by others, only to be brought up again, and then crushed. I guess I really shouldn't base my worth on what others think of me and how they treat me, because I guess in the long run, pleasing people won't count.
Through all that has happened this term, I am assured of who are the people that will truly stick with me through everything. I'm not one who is able to preserve all my relationships, but the ones that count, I will never be able to let go of. Thank you. For helping me through everything and for really being there for me. I'm sure you know who you are but I can never thank you enough.
On a lighter and a most definitely higher note, tomorrow, I am going to Reenah's house with the bffls, (and then going for tuition but that isn't exactly worth looking forward to) and then I'm going to meet my cousin for dinner at ION tomorrow :-) It will be a good day.
I shall ignore the literal mountains of elearning work that we have been assigned by our way-too intense teachers hahaha. I will do that on Friday or something, but for the time being I really cannot be bothered hehehe
