The first day of school in a new year - a dreadful nine-word phrase. When a new year starts, people around one will tend to ask, "so are you excited about going back to school?" And automatically I'll shake my head. Hee. It's just my natural reaction, can't help it.=P SO...unavoidably, many of us have to wake up darn early today to report to our respective junior colleges. Now with the fact that some JCs are just located so far away from some of our homes, we have to wake up even earlier than when we were in westspring! ArGh..oh and speaking of my alma mater, west spring ss, I saw a junior's nick on msn saying that there are no more mid-yr exams and common tests. Just final-yr exams. When I read that, I was like...omg...mr singh was full of crazy ideas and that never changed. About that 'policy', ADVANTAGE:not needing to worry so often about the common tests and mid-yr exam along the yr, DISADVANTAGE:it'll be SO stressful when the final-yr exam comes!. And so back to the topic on the first day at JC, as posted on one of the previous posts, L.Wanting, Sharon and I are posted to Catholic JC. Well..today was just SO boring. Hehes.
These are the activities that we did today:
- School tour
- Mass dance
- Registration of subject combinations
- Principal's speech
*Boring* According to my facilitators, we will get to know wat class we'll be posted to by tmr afternoon..which I consider pretty fast!=) But it's also that fast because of the fact that we registered through the computer which already has our results score stored in the comp. and they won't have to go through the trouble of asking students to photocopy their results' slip and hindering the entire process =) Hmm anyways..I guess one fun part of the orientation would be on wednesday/thursday when there would be a dragon boat race held at the kallang river so as to aid class-bonding! ^_^ That would be pretty fun ba...=) Aiyo, too tired now to think. =X Ain't used to waking up so early since the 'O's ended -.-". Let me think...oh and school's gonna end at about 7pm on Fri...so late..The dismissal time's gonna get later and later day by day (We were dismissed at about 3 plus today).=( One thing I really hope is that Wanting and I will get into the same class! Cuz both of us registered the same subject combinations in the same order(3 choices to be made in total)
- Maths, Economics, Chemistry, GP, MT
- Maths, Economics, Physics, GP, MT
- Maths, Physics, Chemistry, GP, MT
However, Sharon made a different group of choices. I know her first choice is Maths, Chemistry, Biology, GP, MT. Okie...I'm going for dinner now. Good luck to all! =)
