My usual start-of-school rant.

Okaye, so school's barely started and i'm drowning under the deluge of assignments i'm given. It doesn't help that i take history and am given thick compilations of word-filled notes. FYI i'm an arts student now, though i still take math and physics. Yes, i am a masochistic individual who likes to inflict despair unto myself by taking h1physics, h2math and h2history. Econs is bearable -for now. The major problem i'm facing is TIME. The lack of it. Having lessons till four almost everyday, then going for orchestra practice on mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays and saturdays does wonders to my schedule. I've been submitting substandard homework (even for someone as lazy and complacent as myself) and not reading my notes before lectures. The horror.

Time to teacher-bitch.
Econs lecturer: There're 2. Both are lame. In fact, i feel a part of my brain degenerate every time they crack what they define as a joke. The woman likes to act cute too. At the age of 45? My eyes.

History(SEA) tutor: I so cannot stand her. She calls people who scream a 'failure in life' and discriminates against appeal students(i.e. me) calling us 'people who came in through the backdoor', and that we have to 'act like the deserving ones who came in through the front door with integrity and discipline instead of showing our true selves' (she stopped short of calling us hooligans). The bloody sod. I swear her bum is so big, it's like an entity of it's own.

Math tutor: Sheeee speaaaaks liiiiike thiiiiiis. Has short, curly, grey hair, and owlish spectacles. She has a penchant for wearing a-line skirts way past her belly button and blouses with amazingly low collars...when her assets aren't much to shout about. Must be really breezy up there.

Physics tutor: He just cannot pronounce.
Rachel = Ray-shel
MingLe = Mingle (yes the english word)
ShanMao = ShaOMao (where the heck did the vowel come from?!)
He got my name correct though when so many others didn't. AMAZING.

Okaye, enough of ranting. Now for amusing incidents.

Amusing incident 1:
Was having sectionals the other day and a senior couldn't make it cos he had tuition. Halfway through the sectional, the section leader looked out the window and saw said senior. She was of course, not pleased. Another senior then interrupted saying,
"Oh, he's flirting. Let's not interrupt."
*pause*
"Haven't you heard? GohChokTong said 'Go forth and multiply.'

Amusing incident 2:
*An extremely vocal classmate stands up abruptly during econs tutorial and walks to the door saying:
"Wah, I can't tahan anymore.'
*Puzzled teacher asks:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Stomachache. Like you said, i'm full of shit."

Amusing incident 3 (i wasn't present though):
*Asked to give his view about JC's, classmate said:
"JC is crap."
*Asked by straight-faced teacher to elaborate why
"Poly students learn practical and useful stuff. JC students have a higher chance of going to university cos we learn useless things."

There are a few more, but i'm sleepy.
Byeworld.
