Hi! I'm back! Phew the School exams/promos are over. But this relief will be short lived when I get back my results. I WANT TO BE PROMOTED! And though school exams have ended, there's still:

IB-Chinese exam (like A lvl JC1 paper who have to take it during their first year)
Extended Essay 1st draft
Group 4 Science Project
World literature Essay 

Art- Not really an exam but a chat/critique with the teacher, talking to her about my pieces of work. From what the teacher said, I passed. One of the few subjects I am hoping to pass in.

THE 3-DAY EXAMINATION
English- My first ''real'' Literature paper since secondary 2. Choose between either a prose or a poetry and do a commentary on the chosen one. I chose the prose as from past experiences, I suck at poems and can never dig the meaning out from them. Prose was taken from Arnold Bennett's ''old wives tales''. Some people wrote 8 pages long while I wrote 4. Hais! How did they do that! Smart people! Hopefully I will still do will as its not about quantity but quality and the substance that I have written that matters.

The Horror Day:
The day when I had 2 subjects and 3 papers. Economics and Physics. The night before was I felt like killing myself. There was so much to revise for. Though I started my revision weeks ahead, I felt as though nothing had sunk into the tiny brain of mine.
Economics to me was alright. 
Physics was as good as gone! Those who know me should know why. Never ever passing a single pure science physics and chemistry test and getting Ds-Fs for exams for my sec3/4 years until I dropped to combined sciences where there was a turning point and got my As :). Come IB, tests weren't easy. Causing me to regret on my choice of it. But all I know is that I need a pass in it for my future university admission to the course I want. For this exam, all I want is a pass.:( Maybe I neglected it too much.

Maths- Countless revision papers and practices and help couldn't save the day. Though others may say that it was a killer and could only do 2 questions out of paper2, while some were feeling miserable about it, I think that they are all being humble. The truth is that they will do well while I won't. All I could say is that I have wasted all my parent's $$$. Boohoohoo!

Within 3 days, my exams were over! I am so DEAD!

Then on Thursday night, my school held their fund raising Gala dinner at the Ritz-Carlton and thus who helped out were given a $1000 PER PERSON (EXX!) 4-course fine dining dinner treat. Tables were being sold at $10 000 or $ 20 000. I don't think what we ate cost that much in normal market rates. All for the sake for fundraising.
