lols, that pretty much tells how much i appreciated this sunday and also...the monday tomorrow! (although im not too sure yet of course) But it just feels great to have another holiday, or in my case now, just to even know about it! Today was rest day, and so quite 'wasted' cos I didnt actually do anything except a little bit of homework and maybe some discussion about when to meet for the SS project due next week. Now im also starting to worry about the chemical car competition, due next saturday, how do we do all the testing and planning when we still have so many projects? I wonder... Okay i shall not write about the horrible projects the school still gives us even though its the end of the exams on such a fine day. And oh yes, speaking of the exams, I think I've gotten back everything, and feel that I have done quite well for my standards this time round. Of course there is still room for much improvement! especially so in certain subjects...
*Some ranting* I just dislike projects, cos they give you so much pressure, constantly, over a long period of time. When i think carefully, major exams actually constitutes a larger portion of the marks, but i dont think they give me as much pressure as a long project. Long projects or projects spanned over the whole year are just cheapskate. teachers just have to write the outline of the project and the requirements, and we do it. for the whole year. For example, the chinese project, the social advocacy project to some extent, the english blog assignments. They are just really unfair. Short projects, are also almost as bad, because they are just uncaring and shoved into your face and teachers expect them to be done in a short time, when we have other commitments. Like the SS project we are doing now? We didnt even get a reasonable duration to do it...
And everytime I face a huge load, I ask myself if I should be getting some rest and not take on more the next time. But then I would also ask myself if thats the right attitude to doing things...should I be depriving myself of a possible chance to learn and experience? I dont know if I will regret it in the future if I do not do as much as I should/can. Or are all these things meant to stretch my limits? Like maybe the 2.4km for napfa, I faced the same problem even when running. Should I be running faster? thats the question I ask myself while running. I face the possibility of getting tired out if I run too fast at the beginning, but if I am able to complete it at a faster pace but dont, I would really regret not doing it. I mean, I really dont know, kind of a dilemma here. Frequently face problems like this...to do or not to do...
But to end off on a positive note, I will still try my best to enjoy this sunday night, which we usually dont get to, in the midst of doing work...
