someday you'll find

Happy week!

And I will run to you
To your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the spirit of God

Yes I will run the race
Till I see your face
Oh let me live by
The glory of your grace

Thank You for a wonderful week. I can't remember what happened exactly, but let me attempt to summarise.
On Sunday we had Jr Cats meeting and we had KFC. I haven't seen everyone together in so long. And the formators. And then the bunch of us caught Transformers, a really great movie. And I had Ben & Jerry's for the first in a long long time.
On Monday, I caught Hot Fuzz with a friend: It was my first NC-16 movie, haha. Well, you can say he's quite a new friend although I've known him for 3 years. So that's a good thing, huh?
Then I moved back to hostel without getting thrown out of my room, and met my new roommate Mae Hwee, who had a fleeting presence on the cheer team, so we're not completely strangers. Yup and she's awesomely smart, sleeps late and has a lot of snacks.
On Tuesday, lessons started. I cannot find one good thing about combining the D classes. Just that I have to be a third party, sit in a corner of the (my own) classroom in the back, and basically not be able to see the board or screen properly. But we went to catch Elaine's swimming comp and she did well and Sam came in second for her heats. And I had a decent violin lesson.
On Wednesday, we went through our Gr 8 theory paper. To be truthful, that was higher than my expected grade of low 70s, but close enough. The only difference is that I expected everyone else to get higher than me, like 90plus. I was honestly stoned and lost and dejected after I did the theory paper because EVERYONE PUT BRAHMS.
But I love good old Mr Tan for setting predictable questions. Like the composer/country one. The rest were tyco. I guess. With some help from his usual conspicuous hints. Yep so I topped the paper, I guess. It's honestly a first. I've never so much as topped a test or quiz since I entered this school or something. Not that I know of.
On Thursday er. More lessons, but right in the morning Mr Tham came in and said Physiology wasn't starting till next week so I got a 2 hour free period for no reason. And we had our KI lesson - er which sucked cos I know I'll do very badly for this module hurhur. And Stats - whatever. Basically today was a whole day of being a third party. And in the morning there was such a conversation:
Some teacher (Sukandar or something): All student leaders line up according to your leadership positions. Like council, PSL, class committee, etc.
Jo: Eh. Lol, then those with multiple positions go to their highest post ah.
Jacque: Well, just know you aren't in any of them.
LIKE OKAY WHATEVER. Who said anything about wanting to be a part of the oh-so-prestigious NUS High Leadership Federation or something.
On Friday we got back our papers. Luckily, the first two papers were Chem and English. The papers I knew I did substantially better for as compared to Math and Bio. I actually scored an A for a science exam for the first time in my what, life?! Even in P3 my science was either a low Band 1 or Band 2. And my VERY FIRST NUS HIGH A went to Chemistry. I might not even have ever scored an A- for anything before. Not English. If you count A-, then it's Music - IN THE SAME SEMESTER!!! Not even Chinese, I think. Have to check. Haha. But yeh. I mugged about three days for it. Maybe 2. So I probably deserve it. :D *pats self on shoulder*
And I scraped a Bplus for English as usual. Damn though, I was expecting an A- lol. But I should have figured that it's possible to study for English, like read the handouts. Cos I was completely stoned for essay. Although I knew that quote would come out. Dumb Jo. At least I passed Bio! And I didn't fail math THAT badly. If you think about it I got 30%. I think I got what, 35 for Calculus I? And I MIGHT have studied for that paper. And although I slept late for that paper, I still slept. Before Calculus II paper I completely DIDNT SLEEP AT ALL! Stupid, mugging Bio for a 51/100. Lol.
AND TODAY WELL. Haha. 070707. :D I spent 070707 07:07:07am sleeping, I think. And I spent 070707 07:07:07pm eating. So yup.

Okay so much for summary. This week was so much better than last week, where I spent the whole week sick and what, was it just exams?! Haha it feels like so long ago. Yup. I spent the entire week looking forward to church and nothing else. Like a zombie. I still am looking forward to church tomorrow, but I felt like my life was reasonably meaningful this week. And hopefully next week will be better.
Yay buaiz.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIN. Again, because I just read Pi's post. I luuuuuuuurve the Jin/Pi/U friendship. Yay.

Let me quote Bakanishi Jin on CTKT on his birthday.
Jin: I'm on a diet.
Maru: So you don't eat rice?
Jin: No.
Kame: So you only eat vege, right?
Jin: No, I only eat meat.
Kame: So.. you don't drink beer?
Jin: I drink beer.
Kame: Then what's the point????
DON'T YOU LOVE JIN!


RESOLUTION.
To pull up my damned CAP. On the way, Jo, on the way. Please don't get complacent just because you actually might pass your CAP this sem.
To manage my time. Now that violin and piano are on the same day, you probably have to practise doubly as much.
And thankfully Tuesday nights are before Wednesday mornings. :)


COOKIES THIS WEEK GO TO BEN FOR THE CLASSIC "Can we negotiate?"
I had no idea you had it in you, Ben. :D Don't worry, I'm sure you can do well for your Grade 4. or 5. I'll work hard to get a Grade 8 too.
