Man, I can’t believe this. It’s the test periods once again! But this time, the teachers made it feel like the End of Year Exams (Otherwise known as the EOYs). Tests aren’t meant to be so much like exams. You don’t go to school just for tests and not lessons (Not that I don’t enjoy it, considering that I get dismissed earlier than I usually do). You don’t keep silent for a solid 2 hours and go blind squinting at a piece of paper full of words you don’t understand. You don’t study for it during a period of time called the HOLIDAYS. Why? Because they’re supposed to be HOLIDAYS!
Yeah, guess I’m still pretty much fired up about that one. Maybe it’s because I don’t get opportunities to watch Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Full Story Version (posted kindly on YouTube by alexfung23 – Dude I am FOREVER indebted to you!). I’ve already watched it once through, all full 18 episodes and the bonus ones too. But it is SUCH A GREAT GAME! I’ve got to savor it once more! I wish I had a PS2… No, wait. I wish I have a PS3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is due for release sometime in June, I think.
But the main reason why I hate this time’s test period is because I didn’t get to enjoy the release of Super Smash Brothers Brawl as much as I would have liked to! It’s the most anticipated game so far this year! It’s got Marth, Ike, and SOLID SNAKE in it! If I could, I’d play it every waking minute!
But no, we just HAD to have tests in the first week of Term 2. Damn it.I don’t even get to enjoy the Good Friday break because guess what? It’s in the middle of the block test period! And I wonder why it’s called ‘block tests’. Because it BLOCKS out all the fun in life! No wonder.
Today was Chinese. My Chinese has never been particularly good, but I must say, it wasn’t as difficult as I thought. I kind of flunked my latest comprehension exercise and my teacher was disappointed in me. She went “PX, You only got 28. I expected more.” In Chinese, of course. Well, I did think that it was a terrible mark too. I have always (okay, maybe not ALWAYS. Often.) been pretty lucky when it comes to academics. I don’t get failures much. In fact, in my whole academic life, I’ve failed less than 5 times. Yep. Not a bad record, huh. But I replied my teacher in a way that might have destroyed her impression of me. Not like it has been particularly good, but let’s say it just went downhill. I said “WHOA” in this kind of joking manner. And later during the lesson, she asked the class what “deshi” meant and because I speak quite loudly without meaning to and I sit in the front row, she heard me say “taxi”. Of course it was a joke. But she thought I was being funny. Well I was, but not in a way that she might have thought.
Well. Tomorrow’s paper is Language Arts. And Math. Wow, I love math. In fact, I can’t wait for tomorrow’s paper. It’s the only paper I don’t mind preparing for and taking.
Good luck to me. I think I’ll need it.
