That irritating itch
Okay, I always have irregular sleeping times during the holidays and I think it’s really bad for my health. I slept till 1pm today… boy ,was I shocked when I woke up and looked at the time. Then I realised that I had been rubbing both my eyes the entire night and my eyes felt sore and puffy when I woke up. Looked in the mirror and both my eyes were bloodshot. Gosh, it’s the recurring problem of my sore eyes again and it SUCKS big time.
This weekend was horribly boring. I had Chinese tuition on Saturday morning, then I studied a little Physics and then I went to nap. Ended up sleeping for like 4 hours. Adding it to the 12 hours I had slept the previous night before, so that makes a grand total of 16 hours of sleep! Whee.
Basically, I spent the entire weekend sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating then studying. I guess it’s hard to study especially after your exams have just ended. Doing work is a torture when you realise how much you have forgotten. Then you study the topic and you attempt to do the question again, but WAIT, you still don’t get it. That’s how frustrating it is. So I’m trying my best to brush up, with the help of my tutor (who isn’t exactly the best?) but we’re working on it. He’s new you see. So the rapport takes a LITTLE while to build up, but I’m sure it’ll be fine in the end.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately. What we... what I want in my life, and one of them is achieving the best results possible and it’s a long journey, I know, but I’m working hard at it. I have to live up to many expectations and I have to do better than some people or I just can’t forgive myself. It may seem a little childish or naïve but hey, that’s what competitiveness is all about. You have to stay in the game, and that's being at the top of what you are part of! I know, it’s so cliché but I’m starting to get why it is!
Many things happened last week. The Head Prefect election was carried out and Victoria School has a new head prefect. After which I was speaking with Wei Jie that day, about how he felt that he was gonna be a normal student again. How would he feel and how he would react during the Prefects’ farewell on Saturday. I shudder thinking about handovers today. I mean it’s just so SAD. I know it’s time for the juniors to take over and I’m happy for them. I’m definitely proud of them! But thinking back about what the EXCO have gone through together? It justs gets me all weepy.
Anyways, I was just tagging on my junior’s blog that day and he replied that he would miss me when I’m gone. Reading that tag, it just struck me hard that how well and how much have I done as a Sec 4 student through the years in VS? It also touched me more than anything that it came from someone whom I recently could understand more and share my views with. I thank you for that.
Hmm. Certainly made me reflect a lot about life as a student and as a person.
Soon, it’ll be the PSB / MC handover BBQ and AGM meeting with the EXCO in the coming weeks. It’s exciting yet sad at the same time. Hope I don’t get too emotional!
Well, I’ll be having science SPAs the next 2 days so I hope I won’t screw up too badly!
Good luck to all Sec 4s!
Hail Mary.
