Had my International Baccalaureate(IB) English Individual Oral Presentation(IOP) last Thursday! IOPs are based on the texts we have studied. I did on the Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison with the theme of intra racial discrimination, whereby Whites are deem beautiful and rich while Blacks are poor and ugly. Oh my my! I am sure gald it's over! How well did I fare? I asked Mr Owande how was my presentation. His reply was that I need not worry as I did well. But the ''how well'' cannot be revealed by him until a further date. And so upon hearing it, I was relieved. People said I had good points, others said I was nervous. It's 15% of my final IB english grade and so how can I not be nervous.

Got back my chinese prelim results. And I passed, considering my chinese standard. Like Junior Colleges, IB students have chinese exams at the end of the year, another one next year again if we don't do well. Paper2(compre): 29/40, Paper1(compo): 22/30. This gives me a grade 6 upon 7(where 7's the highest and 1 the lowest). :D

Had this marcoeconomics test yesterday! I SWEAR IT WAS REALLY REALLY DIFFICULT. The hardest test I had so far. This opinion is not only from me but throughout all the Economics student in the level. 1 hour, 3 10marks essay questions! I am sure gonna fail it. The teacher said that that was the IB STANDARD KIND OF QUESTIONS. And so if that's the case, we're all dead unless we buck up and practice speed writing and quick thinking and of course TRAINED ARMS THAT WILL NOT ACHED. :(
