Lecture me please.
I had one lecture today and that was Biology lecture.
The Biology lecturer introduced the topics to us one by one and I must say that the topics look absolutely daunting. I was telling Safi who was beside me that I would “force” myself to love Biology no matter how tough it gets because I was the one who decided my subject combination. Not just for Bio of course, for every other subject.
The lesson on Cell Structure only began halfway into the lesson after the introduction and I was a little upset because I was really yearning to learn more. You know how it feels like when you begin lessons after a really long period of time and you just feel useless and rusty? That how I felt today. Hopefully everything works out better as the lectures come and go. Since I’m in a new environment, it’s time to change some of my old ways and start afresh.
I’m just praying that everything goes as I hope it would.
So for the whole morning before Biology lesson, I went to library to mug (wow!). Yes you heard me right, I was mugging away in the library. Did some questions on Partial Fractions and read up on Economics and Chemistry notes beforehand. When you’re in a school with many other hardworking people, you just have to up your game, like it or not.
JC1s, look around you… how many students who are retained come from VS? I think there’s quite a handful. No offence but, last minute mugging and relying on sheer dumb luck is never going to get you anywhere in JC.
True enough, when I went up to the upper floor of the school library, there were students everywhere studying or doing their own work. Many were rushing here and there, scrambling for answers with the fellow friends. Sure, it’s great motivation to study but it also forces you back to the real world.
Just imagine how many students are studying in JCs and how many places are available in the Universities in Singapore… and let’s not forget our foreign friends who are mostly very capable in their studies.
Time to hit the books, people, start studying right now.
Oh yes, I need to mention that I will stop going to Parkway unless it is absolutely necessary. It’s too painful. I had to make so many detours yesterday to avoid groups of people who I’m not exactly fond of (not referring to you, JX). Was I embarrassed? I don’t know. Am I being too sensitive? Maybe it’s just me but I just can’t interact with them because it hurts so badly and I start getting sad and all… I can’t be in that state of awkwardness…
I’ll try my best not to dao/avoid you guys but we’ll just have to see what kind of environment we’re in first before I decide to open my mouth and say “Hi!”
I shall go for some literary therapy now to ease this sore soul...
Hail Mary.
