haha i'm looking at my macro problems and policies notes now and i quote mr reeves
'It doesn't take a genius to work out that with the restricted range of essays set nowadays, and the emphasis on practical applications of economic theory, these two topics are the core for essay questions.'
uhhh huh. |

VERY TIRED, BRAIN DIE ALR. but it's still only 10.30pm
pre-lit paper was a rather stressful ordeal, my heart kept protesting in the morning PLUS i woke up 1.5 hours too early thanks to othello floating around in my head. BUT it is all over now thank you very much for a rather nice paper, although i came back and searched for criticism on the poems i did and i think i may have misinterpreted the tone in the first poem.
usual. i have made it through 2 years of PC misinterpreting my unseen poems.
may i also point out that there have been several unseen poems taken from appreciating poetry / touched with fire - beautiful old age, leopard skin, and look, stranger, dunno what on the cliff. if i had studied those two books religiously i might have done better on my PC haha
okayyyy econs ):
oh anyway for some reason since i got back from school there has been this othello quote in my head: something something 'would half have corrupted a votarist'
no idea why, though i did find it funny |

for some reason p&p is putting me in a good mood. and i think bingley is really dumb.
Mrs Bennet
'You must own she (Charlotte) is very plain. Lady Lucas herself has often said so, and envied me Jane's beauty. I do not like to boast of my own child' - 1.9
'My dear Mr Bennet, you must not expect such girls to have the sense of their father and mother.' - 1.7
'Those who do not complain are never pitied.' - 1.19
Lady Catherine
'What is that you are saying, Fitzwilliam? What is it you are talking of? What are you telling Miss Bennet? Let me hear what it is.' - 2.8
'whenever any of the cottages were disposed to be quarrelsome, discontented or too poor, she sallied forth into the village to settle their differences, silence their complaints, and scold them into harmony and plenty.' - 2.7
Sir William Lucas
'Sir William, to Elizabeth's high diversion, was stationed in the doorway, in earnest contemplation of the greatness before him, and constantly bowing whenever Miss de Bourgh looked that way.' - 2.5
Mr Bingley
'When I am in the country, I never wish to leave it; and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They have each their advantages, and I can be equally happy in either.' - 1.9
'Miss Bennet was therefore established as a sweet girl, and their brother felt authorised by such commendation to think of her as he chose.' - 1.4 |

EXCITED!!! :) :) :)
i am even excited about studying for SAT I again
hahahaha
AH.
my list of things to do after A levels is growing longer and loooooonger
anyway i didn't dream about econs last night, instead i dreamt that i wrote a horrendous french essay that was 4 pages long, unfinished, and out of point, and i didn't even submit it on time because i couldn't finish, so i took it away with me to finish writing.
omgz i hope econs and lit won't be like that |

there is still thaaaaaaaaaaaaat much more econs to plough through tomorrow
= nearly the whole of macro econs.
seriously i am damn slow at econs because it's painful
and there is going to be a lot of econs (like square-shaped AS graphs) occupying my dreams tonight. although i guess it beats desdemona and othello essays, haha. |

thumb still numb from gp (which is as usual very unpredictable. i mean the grade) lesson learnt do not use skinny pens when writing essays.
and it's really upsetting that throughout the past two weeks of studying the ice cream uncle hasn't visited a single time ): ):
hope papers have been going alright for everyone, i have not seen many people on my flist in ages! haha
on a separate note:
the PSLs are ALL GROWING UP O: |

ok. not a pretty end to my last french exam of six years.
1. MT is still tied with BW as i have just heard from chen yang sia (which also means ihc was not that exciting in terms of rankings haha) BUT THAT'S OKAY i ♥ the pREDator shirt anyway, and this year's house D will make sure next year's a good year. and i must say, job well done for ihc seeing as it was so last minute and only 4 days long haha.
but that was irrelevant. i shall start again
1. the first time i brought my jacket, and it was not cold at all.
2. invigilators who kept talking and opening the door.
3. the most stressful 5 minutes ever, my hand was almost uh, convulsing, and i think my handwriting is more or less undecipherable starting from third paragraph onwards. two minutes left to copy out the last sentence of my antithese and my conclusion, so i gave up two sentences. and i did not get to write the phrase i most wanted to write ):
4. sian mrt ride home with people i did not want to take the mrt with.
either way, last french exam of six years, and it still feels good being able to strike one subject off the schedule. and one grade decided too, please give me my A. i also realised that monday was the last time i'd be going to the MOELC haha, it's the only school i attended for six years.
so that's the end of french, no idea when i'll next be taking my dictionary off my shelf. dalf maybe. i realise i do still want to continue studying it, if i can! and i want a levels to end now.
alright keep going 3.5 subjects left!! |

i am really annoyed because i have been missing out on things lately.
1. i missed tonight's ballet because my mother figured that i should be studying and not watching a ballet performance. but that's still not that bad.
2. LEE MIN HO was in raffles hotel on saturday night.
AND
I WAS IN RAFFLES HOTEL ON SATURDAY NIGHT
and this dude in the room i was in was saying that there was a korean singer or something outside and that there was a crowd of girls screaming (i actually typed singapore instead of singer, this is a sign that i have been doing many econs essays, i hope), and my jaw dropped :O but it did not occur to me that it might be anyone i knew so i stayed inside
SO, ARGH.
i was that close. and his hair in the life photo was pretty cute too
anyway, i need more table space, and more floor space would be nice too.
not a sign that i have been studying a lot, just a sign that i am a messy person despite my OCD.
i have revised my study schedule for the third time and i am determined to make this one work!!! |

life is pretty great.
though i was feeling really aimless yesterday.
BYEBYE CANDICE although you will never see this i think. haha.
council tomorrow + FOUR FIFTEEN (:
and i can't believe i just met my primary one friend on facebook.
SATs damn dead, need to do more practice.
plus the usual stuff, UCAS, etc, thinking about universities and associated things.
and then it's back to french oral (omg been putting it off since friday), plus getting back to the books. not a bad prospect i guess.
MY LIFE SO HAPPENING. |

i never thought i'd be saying this, but
HEART OF DARKNESS IS GETTING REALLY BORING!
all the inscrutability, and all the unholy pilgrims and all the whiteness and blackness of things
is getting on my nerves.
conrad has this total obsession with some words (INSCRUTABLE) that is really bothersome. just like 'honest' in othello.
i am on page forty one now. OMG |

gmail is down (it's the whole of gmail right it's not just my account? please tell me it is) and i realise how dependent i have become on emails to stay connected to everyone around me. and to make me feel a little less lonely amongst all the econs (!!). lj doesn't quite match up at all.
i am absolutely freaking out for gp!! i did close to nothing to prepare for it (okay fine NOTHING other than the fact that i have marcus' essay on MUSIC in front of me now hahaha). i am depending on a non-content-heavy question to save my ass.
and i absolutely HATE how every night i have to get up at least once to throw some bug into the sink. my room is really like a bug zoo. (no cockroaches of late thankfully.)
and actually the only reason why i'm here is because otherwise i would have come online for nothing, seeing as i cannot check my email.
goodbye everyone good luck for prelims! : D |
