It's been a particularly busy period for many. Tests, PW deadlines and late night dance rehearsals coincide with each other, and I have no time for anything. But I don't think studying for quizzes actually make much of a difference since I've studied for every quiz so far but I haven't passed every one. I was so sure of my performance in the Math graph quiz and it came back a fail so I really have no hopes for grades anymore. It is what it is. Although quizzes are such a small component of actual grades, failing quizzes usually lead to failing block tests but I will not jinx myself further. 

And my parents are okay with me failing which just makes me sad. Not because I think they don't care but because I know their greatest expectation of me is for me to be happy. "I know you're trying very hard and I'm happy to see that". Just tells me that I'm studying for nobody but myself.

Home learning day tomorrow but modern dancers have CCA at a glorious timing of 8 am. Less than a month to Italy! And a month to the impending block tests that I am doomed to fail. 

" 5 months of preparation, 4 dance styles, 3 shows, 2 days, 1 SWAG performance and 0 regrets" 
Best 'countdown' ever. 

I love this very psychedelic neon gif that is always relevant. Yes, I am so very tired and I still have to study for economics test. My economics notes welcome me after an arduous 8 hour long dance session but I have declined the invitation for now. 

Anyway, our beautiful dainty Chinese dance has more or less been completed. The story is about some beautiful court ladies that tried to seduce some generals (or possibly eunuchs). And I didn't even come up with that, Mr Dan came up with it. I foresee a lot of restraint with the long costumes though, they don't look exactly easy to dance in. EXCITED~ I had already predicted the false eyelashes thing because I remember the seniors wearing false lashes for their SYF. Time to tread precariously in the world of more-than-one-colour-of-eyeshadow, false eyelashes and contouring stage make up. 

Left a few Trails and then the SALT rehearsal for SWAG commenced. Comments that our first run was better than our second but at least the seniors know the reason for an apparently poorer performance is because everyone is thoroughly exhausted, so I was more than glad when we didn't have to stay for curtain call. 

ECONOMICS AWAIT ME. 
IDEAL GASES AWAIT ME. 
MEMBRANES AND DNA AWAIT ME. 

School has been really unenjoyable of late, because of all the deadlines, tutorials and all that. And if you'd work hard in secondary school, your grades will reflect that but it doesn't really seem to in JC because my grades are slipping like mad despite myself putting in decent efforts. Not the best to my abilities but I don't feel bad about the amount of work I put, just my grades. Wake-up call everybody. 

Anyway, first biology remedial was good because I hopefully cleared up all my misconceptions of chromosomes chromatin chromatid DNA. Maybe remedial is the way to go from now! 

CCA on Thursday was just us sitting on the studio floor and talking with Mr Dan which was fun. So much nonsense in that 3 hours but it was well-spent nonsense. Rehearsal for dance night didn't go very well, but we still have two weeks to turn our swagger on! Two short or long weeks, depending on how you make of it. 

Rest of the week sucked, so I don't have anything to write on that. Econs lecture test and GP essay finally I passed something. 
Woke up the latest I've ever woken up because there's no CCA today but I really want to do Chinese dance it fascinates me. 

April showers bring May flowers.

Tomorrow is Labour Day and it is apt, because everyone will be laboring over their GPP which is not even graded. 

Hopefully I can at least get myself a pass for the Chemistry lecture test. And S78 loves celebrating birthdays, we've celebrated almost everyone's individually and I think that's taken a huge toll on the class fund, hmm. Just don't forget about those later in the year because that always happens. 

SWAG in 2 and a half weeks (or thereabouts)! Although I'm only dancing for like 1.5 minutes in a 3 minutes dance, please come support the rest of these very talented dancers! My class has had a relatively pathetic response so far, I wonder how the general response has been? I miss the days where people scrambled for a Dance Night ticket in Nanyang because I still remember 413 even going to the extent of agreeing to sit on the steps if there weren't enough seats (which luckily they didn't have to). 

Note to self: Do something about my growing paunch. It's gone to the state where it's gotten a bit worrying.
