Got back my promo results on Friday. Well... It wasn't too bad, in the sense that I didn't fail any subject overall. But it wasn't great either, in the sense that I did fail certain papers - phy geog and econs essay. And I didn't do well for the paper I least expected myself not to do well in - gp. Sigh. I got a bloody c5 for gp okay. And considering the fact that ms tan kept saying that many people did well and gp grades were generally okay... I felt damn bad about my own marks. I guess it's just screwed up expectations. But anyhow, I think I'll get promoted. Hopefully without having to sit for probationals next year. A CCD set of grades normally shouldn't make me worry about probationals, but my terms were damndamn horrible! DEFF I think. Grrrrr. Lousy terms. Ohhhhh, and I passed my Chinese!! For the first time in a looonnngg time okay!!! :) And I did it with a 58% pass to boot! Hahah. What luck maaaann.
Openhouse yesterday was preeeeetttty fun in the end! I went to school dreading what I'd have to endure before 4pm came round so I could go home. Walked around the hall quite a bit with Chels. Watched Dree perform her cheerleading thing, which was daaammmnn good by the way! GO TEAM! Hahah. Cartwheels and high jumps and all. Chels said that yesterday felt quite high school, with cheerleaders and all. I think I agree!
And today... Went to IMH (or Woodbridge, if that's more familiar) with the senior svdp people. Put up a mini concert or something for the patients and served them lunch. Again, I didn't particularly jump for joy at the prospect of going there when I got up this morning, but I'm glad I went! Got to sit at the back of a lorry while it rained heavily and screamed and squealed everytime the lorry rolled over a hump. Having your ass bump up and down a solid surface is painful okaaaayyy. But it was damn funny, 'cause the uncle who was giving us a lift back to church started up the lorry engine and was about to drive off without Gary, who had to run after us yelling and looking like a construction worker. Hahah! And the skit that we put up was soooooooo silly! There was this one patient who kept HAHAHAHing loudly every 30seconds even though there was nothing remotely funny about anything. And another patient who yelled out HELLO HELLO to us as we walked down the corridor. It.. took some getting used to, I'll admit.
Okay, so now that promo results are out and openhouse's over, it's pw full steam ahead. My trial oral presentation's on Tuesday, so better start working on my powerpoint slides now. Hmmppph. Really HATE pw. Waste of time. Waste of energy. Waste of sleep. GRR. Oh, and ogl interview is tomorrow. I'll be glad when Tuesday's over! But hey, looking at the bright side of things, my busy stretch's already half gone. And I gotta get a new book soon. Just finished Memoirs of a Geisha and started on Sons of Heaven, something I dug up as I was shelving my books. I think it's about the Tiananmen Square incident. Memoirs was reeeeaallyyyy good though. So yeah, it's time for a new book again!
