As many of you know, not long as we spread the joy of the new year around. The burden of stepping into the new year creeps and lurks in the corner. Soon after the super short celebration, it is back to school for many of us. It is time to cut the holidays and start the labour!
The first week of school was already taking a toll on me, firstly it is because I havent been able to turn the clocks back. Having fatigue set into me every now and then in classes. Piles of work has been given as this is "OUR BIG YEAR" for those of us taking the government examination. Not only homeworks are thrown at us. As the leaders of the clubs, society and other crap in the school. We are forced to go for long our meetings with the other leaders.
It is like the white house where every senator and congressman gather together to plan out the whole year. As for me, I am not left out from that bunch of "forced labour" who control the "school politics". Due to the facct that we only have 24 hours a day, and 6-7 hours are spent in school, the meetings have to be done during classes.
Dang the first week, as some cool, awesome teachers start off introducing themselves and get to know the class. Others are so kiasu, comes in, writes his or her name on the board and starts teaching without further notice. Some of us, who are caught up in the "board room" have to miss those classes and sulk to the fact that we dont even know what had happen and thus cant complete our homework. Worst comes to worst, Slam, POP QUIZ! Dumb test are given to see "how much we have forgotten during the holidays".
Before the first day of school, I prayed hard for good teachers and cool classmates. But when I stepped into class, I felt foreign. I mean I know the people in the class, but then they werent my close mates. Only one of them. The rest are mostly people who walked by my life. Maybe they might make an impact this year for it is their final year to show me their worths! HAHAHAHA
As for teachers, I got the teacher which I think is a complete weirdo.. Use to.... I use to see here, as this really conservative, keep-to-self teacher, who walks with a stare in her eyes as though she knows danger is out there or that judgement day is near. Well, she is not the only teacher like that, she is the second on that weirdo list, there is actually one more that is worst!
To top that, I have the worst dicipline teacher as my Mandarin Teacher. FAR OUT! COME ON! I have to watch out for my hair this year! Who knows, he might snip my hair off anytime during class if he is on PMS! I love my hair!
Oh, another classic news, again, I was appointed monitor/ class president. Out of my 5 years here, I have been it for 4 years... I really don't know what they see in me, but then again I like the uniform, white long pants... unlike the normal students who have to wear ugly short green pants...
How did I know I was appointed even though my name wasnt called out? Most of the time, the teacher will go, "How to read this name, ah?" And most of the time, I know it is me, automatically. Followed by their question, it is slowly followed up by a crowd of students shouting my name. Most of the time they will say it the right way. "shay-mers" but then they might adrift when they think they can have a little fun, calling me "SE-U-MAS". I am kinda used to it, happens most of the time... When the screams and shouts get louder, the teacher will ask who is it and comes over to me and ask me for the correct way to pronounce it. Classic first day of school. :D
So this is just the start of my BIG year.. or thats what they call it.. they as in my parents, family, relatives, teachers and friends that are not in my year...
Well, I still wanna say "KUDOS, to those who made last year awesome!"
