As the title says, it's a rant. Basically:
I am swamped with homework.
I don't understand pretty much everything the lecturer covered in Bio Olympiad. And i'm going to miss a session next week, along with chinese, econs (ZOMG IM SO SCREWED), etc subjects due to Class Camp in Pulau Ubin.
I am very distressed over the fact that i cannot apply for most things in RJ. I can't go for REACH cambridge because i only have 7A1s and not 8(the minimun requirement) and not for the A*STAR JC Science award which requires at least 8 distinctions. Everything would be solved if my chinese, either normal Chinese, Higher Chinese or both, had gotten A1 in a even more miraculous miracle that occured when i got B3 for Higher Chinese for O'lvls. Reason for it being a miracle was because i was barely passing (C5,6) all the way to O'lvls. It gets tough when you think you're somewhat normal, but then the entire school outshines you. In reference to my previous post, an example is a senior(J2) from Chorale, my section (bass), who is in a sort of accelerated class for H2 Chemistry (chem RA, raffles academy), is in the INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIAD for Chemistry (the difficulty level is atrocious), is so smart that he is exempted from Common Tests(CTs), is a Grade8 in Music Theory, has perfect pitch, and is free enough to spend the whole day with the J1s (while the other J2s were taking their CTs) and point out mistakes and go slack at Ion Orchard with the chorale gang after Saturday's performance. Oh, well.
Second point of rant: I have, due to the mountain of homework, slept little more than 2 and a half hours last night, from about 3.30am to 6.20am. Of course, as i predicted, i didn't finish my homework. So i am now officially a day behind in my schedule, and Monday being the first day of the week, more homework starts flooding in again (naturally). I supposed i have to wave goodbye tearfully to my sleep. Sleep is actually very important because the body repairs itself then and the brain sorts out information it has received during the day, or so i heard. Hence less sleep leads to unfocusedness during lessontime and the inability to store much information provided. In a nutshell, grades drop. Sigh. Maybe it's time to play less games and up my self-discipline, which is an unsurmountable task for me. Especially when Facebook sends you pings every few minutes or so, and there are tons of interestiong games on your Iphone.
