Hey. I won't even bother pretend to be surprised that this is the 3rd post in the span of 48 hours. I suppose its the blogging season.
Today was the first day of school. I can't say it was a dreadful day, but I can't exclaim that its the best day I've ever had, either. It was fun, and all, but also tiring. Not that much physically, but mentally. Having to adapt to a new environment isn't fun, and having to make several decisions of great magnitude on a day like this doesn't help too much to relieve me, either. Firstly, on the very day I had a briefing on the subject combinations, I had to make a choice which would definitely affect my future. My final decision was H2 Maths, Physics, Chem, and H1 General Studies in Chinese. I've been warned it is a difficult route, and be not to take it unless I'm highly confident I'll study hard. I'm highly confident now, I dunno how long that determination will last, but I certainly hope it does. The intelligence that helped me scrape through the O levels will become entirely worthless in JC education. Grant me some lasting discipline, any form of divine presence. The other major decision I had to make today was to decide between H2 chinese and General Studies in China Studies. I won't bore anyone with the details to why I can't take both, but I'll give a vague idea, its basically cos very few people want that subject combination and there'll be not enough people to form a class. Chinese has always been my strongest subject, and it was extremely tempting to take it as a H2 subject. It was not easy to decide, and although GSC eventually won, I'm still having 2nd thoughts. I need to quash them before school starts, so I don't get distracted.
So, the traumatic experience of going to a new school, plus making 2 major decisions have left me in a state commonly known as "exhaustion". I hope it doesn't last, cos its only the first day. Heck, since I've made so many decisions today, I might as well make another one to complete the set, lets just call someone up and tell her what I've been trying ( without avail ) to tell her for a week. Tempting? Certainly.
