Life is reloaded

Once the CNY hols are over.... BLAM. All my responsibilities come back full force. My whole class is thrown into homework hell, but i believe this is the first year where my work load overcomes that of Kenny Voon, my class monitor lizard and lawyer-to-be. Jonathan, the guy sitting next to me, says: " Life is hell, especially when you're in school" at least once everyday. Guaranteed. And Nicholas, the tallest person in class (and genius, and also sitting behind me) says: "Want to die liaw." in hockien at the end of every add maths period. Everytime i hear the two of them i smile at the irony of it all.

For starters, they aren't on the debate team, that meets once per week (or more when there are matches coming up, like now). Those sessions, leave me saliva-less and without enough time for homework. So i follow the tried and true Thomain culture: copy, copy, copy. When no energy to copy, go find photostate machine. And then Square meetings, which i forget to attend, which is bad, since i'm in charge of the front page. And then, piano theory examination papers, two hours each, one per day. And Manticorefiction, the online series where i know some guys from the UK are waiting for the next episode. And then national level scrapbook competitions, where Ms Chong will skin me alive if she knows i haven't prepared a backbone for the project. And then impromptu speeches. And then inter-class debates. And then judo. And then, and only then, homework. Makes me wonder why i don't just buy a photostate machine.

Great. Just got a call from Amanda. Tells me i've been 'promoted' to games coordinator for the easter rally in church. I'm so dead.
