The lower six came in on Monday. MUET exams were over on Sat, so our MUET periods were suddenly chat fests on nothing in particular. Free time. Then our MUET teacher started lamenting the lack of people this year: "You guys were born in the year of the Snake right? And that means this year's lower six is the year of the Horse ..." She scrunched her face up, as if Horses were inferior creatures.
"Snakes are handsome and cunning." I cut in, for no particular reason.
"Yes!" said Teck Chaw. "Like Cedric!"
I grinned at him, but then he continued:
"Only you are small snake, and I am big Cobra!"

Exams are on, and I'm half dead trying to motivate myself to study. It's not easy, considering how much there is to cover and how little time there is to do it. I smuggled the laptop into my room one day and spent the whole day browsing blooks for the sake of 'research'. Not a particularly good idea.
On the other hand things in Upper Six are looking brighter. I'm no longer going for Sukma, after choosing the STPM over State obligation. Nationals were tough enough. There were times when we were pushed to our limits, and we weren't allowed to stop for fear of being called a loser. We ran, we pushed weights, we threw. Tiredness was never a good excuse for Sensei. I'll still be going for training over the holidays, but that would be helping the state team out in the run up to the competitions.
Debate is over. Square is finished. And for the first time this year I can stay in class and pay full attention.
Wonderful times ahead.

Square is finished?
The Square is the school's newsletter. As editor-in-chief I am the biggest square head there is.
Okay yeah. Bad inside joke.

Gosh... I missed those times... hahahaha... Where I actually have time to sleep in my class no matter when or what period!
...Why does "Able to pay full attention in class" Sound MORE depressing the the other things u mentioned before that to me?
GATHERING is NOT over

@Andy: yeah well, I try as hard as possible to sleep EARLY. Coz Pn Loh thinks I'm the sleepiest person in the whole Form 6.
@Sam: nu-uh. Not over. It'll be refreshing to be social again.
Lol, Ced. that's great news.
Ughhh...
I thought it would have been otherwise...
"for the first time this year, i can sleep peacefully without worrying about anything in class !!"
