In School... Again.

Right now I'm in English. It makes me happy to know that they do not block blogger in school. My friend, Antonia, is somehow not here. And I think, if it weren't for the fact that I'm too tired, I would have spazzed. First of all, she's probably the only friend I have in English. It's not like I'm anti-social. I just want to surround myself with people who want to work. Especially in English. Hence, I have Antonia. A hard-working yet fun person to be around with.

And when the day I need her the most, that's when she decided to skip the first two periods of school. Convenient, no? What I am happy about, though, was we spent the first 30 minutes of the lesson reading 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie. I've always wanted to read mystery and crime novels but I've never found something that has caught my interest. So, to have to read this for the Mystery and Crime unit in English thrilled me. I managed to read about 22 pages whilst others were still at page 9. This is most likely because 1) they are too busy chatting away with their friends instead of reading or 2) sleeping behind their books or 3) just happen to be a slow reader.

Don't get me wrong, I love slow readers. I am a slow reader. But there's an easy way to overcome this. Read a lot. The more you read, the faster you get with reading a book. That's why writers, who part of their job is to read almost everything, read very fast. Scientists read fast, too. Well, not really. But I know my mom does. Back in her day, computers were not available to her. All her research were from books. After awhile, you acquire a skill called 'speed reading'. I am still trying to acquire that skill... but I'm getting there ;-)

Today is a stressy day. I needed to complete four experiments for Chemistry, then memorized a whole essay for History. It's taken its toll on me. I slept at 12 last night to finish off the experiments, and stayed up all night memorizing the essay. I had a nervous breakdown. I cried, and cried and cried and cried. Eventually, I slept.

I needed to wake up early to get data from Laura for the experiments. If it were not a practical assessment, I would have not bothered. But since it counted as my grade, I needed to put at least a little effort to it. All in all, I had a horrible day yesterday. And today will still be horrible... until 12.50pm. Then all my assessments will be over and I can finally give myself a break.

I'm supposed to be writing my 'Write-up' for my advertisement that I made in English. I could use up this energy to writing it rather than this blog. But you know, my priorities aren't straight. Anyhow, I feel sick. Like, 'my stomach is empty, I want to barf, I feel incredibly hot, and I want to die' sick.

Bye. Hope all of you are ten times better than I am right now.
