i apologise to the people that were on the recieving end of the msn spewing: lol look at this. firstly, i never use lol, ever. secondly i just wish the virus would go away. its been dormant for sometime now but i'm quite sure its hibernating somewhere in my computer ready to awaken a go on its LOL LOOK AT THIS rampage again.
i total agree with huis about gp essays. the sins of sweeping statement, incoherent arguments, worse still inappropriate answers, i commit them all. i thought i had escaped gp for good till i looked at the writing section of the NSATS. be thankful all you jc people who have gp teachers drilling thesis statements evidence and examples so much so that you can regurgitate a perfectly written cogently argued essay about some farfetched moral ideal.
a good lawyer does j not make.
i can barely hold an idea down for a paragraph let alone an entire essay. i have issues with sentence structure and variation of length. i do honestly admire people who write focussed essays. my brain is simply too flippant and distractracted to be capable of such a task.
i've got to get organised. virgo are supposed to be the most fastidious about this kinda thing. i wonder what went wrong with me.
swapping SAT classees from verbal/math to verbal/verbal was a good idea. now i've just got to find the discipline to sit down and do the math. everything is starting to pile up this week. the univerisity visits, portfolios is econs, essays. i know everyone is quite as busy as i am but i honestly don't know how i'm going to finish all the things due by their deadlines. i'm not quite inclined towards handing in work thats not well done simpluy because it doesn't bode well wih the teachers and what the teachers think about me is important because of predicted grades references, the whole shebang. some days i sit and wonder whether all this working all this agony is worth it. then i remember i'm only 17 and i can't quite afford to be disillusioned.
i know uwc is one of those major transitions in my life. its not supposed to be comfortable and i'm supposed to be stressed. i'm supposed to do well and i'm supposed to get into a good uni. i suppose it makes it easier that i know i want to go to a good uni and i want to get those grades. it helps that i've friends overseas having quite the time of their life, broken legs, snappy moods and all. i miss them.
i know i should be trying harder to meet up with you guys still back in singapore. ie marns and dips. its just been crazy week after the next. i really hope you guys are doing okay. i promise we'll meet up sometime soon. honestly i've never envisioned myself as one who was too busy to have time for friends, not even in my wildest dreams. i guess life just doesn't always quite go along to plan.
