IB is driving me crazy.
exams are in a little less than 3 weeks now.
AND i haven't studied for nuts. The whole ''holiday'' (in inverted commas cuz it wasn't much of a holiday), i have been struggling to finish my work, that i would get less during a school week. And now even with the exams just around the corner, my view is constantly being blocked by a stream of assignments (graded, most likely), and TOK presentation, EE, and alot of others.
It's quite bad la. i guess. It wasn't meant to be like that, ib. sigh this is worse than i'd thought.

more than this

It seems xanga has killed my entry.. nevermind.

kyne says:
hey
hows your history ia coming along?
zephaniah says:
hm at a relaxed pace
(:

haha. Well, i'm not really sure how true that is, but yeah i really hope i can go through this week with a refreshed spirit and not one of tiredness and weariness, though i know tomorrow's morning will make it hard. Still, I am determined to do so, and just feel God's joy, finding that there's really more to life than just the vicious cycle of schoolwork and all. (:

ahwell.

It's actually the first/seconday of my last week of the june hols..... ):
I don't really know why i actually decided to update my xanga. haha
well, it's been quite awhile, and it's like now with the mid-yrs coming up right after the hols it's really difficult to find the time to do all this.
Well i woke up and had brunch with my mom, watched some tv, did some chem. and now i'm slackinng in front of zechy's laptop. haha it's a nice laptop. though if he finds out i used it he won't be too happy. ahha X)

well anyways, i was studying with michelle, lisa, syahir yesterday till like 10.30pm after church..
sigh I realised how much i've still got to do, to revise, prepare, for the tests coming up.
and it's already down to the last week!

Hm. well i really hope to do well for these tests cuz they actually make up i think about thirty percent of my final year grade, and the thing about IB is that everything counts! assignments, projects, tests, they all add up, and if i don't do well in any it'll show. and i'll nvr be able to fully make up for it.
But as i shared with the webbers, and was thinking, to God, what grade i get doesn't matter, and He will bring me through to where he wants me to be, i guess that's how i got into acib with my 14pt o'lvl score. yeah of course it was a heavy blow, but after i reflect, i'm still where i believe God wants me to be, and it's really quite a miracle that i managed to get in!

Still it won't be easy, and what with all the preparation needed for youth sunday and all that. quite a bit to worry about. on friday night i actually had a dream, kinda like a nightmare, that i had to take my mids on that day itself, with what little i had studied, and it hit me how unprepared i was, how i had really wasted my holidays till then, not bothering to put in effort to study, giving in to lethargy and drowsiness whenever i 'try' to do my work.. it was really a wake up call for me, that dream. and i really don't know how i'm going to do it, but i'll gonna do my best for these mid-yrs, and take it one day at a time. (:

ookay. it's been 2 months. haha
it's three quarters through term 2 of sch already.

Yep i'm in ib now, and God has indeed been faithful in my life, bringing me through it all.

but of course it hardly ends there, nows the time where all the work comes pouring in, and all the deadlines start showing themselves. I've gotta admit that i've been struggling with schwork and all, and yeah it's been rather stressful and tiring recently.

now it's like all i'm actually busy with and concerned about is my schoolwork, and it seems like i've hardly got the time to do much else. though i still do, of course, other things. yet when i do that my work suffers.
weekends are starting to act as only a brief respite during the weeks, and they're sometimes crammed to the max with activities such as church, ventures stuff (cip), and others. what doesn't help is how it's natural for me to see the weekend as when i can rest, and relax - it is, but i get carried away- and i end up having to rush through last-minute work to meet deadlines.

it's almost like a vicious cycle, what with the accumulated backlog and all.
ahwell.. i guess that's how things are, and yup i've just gotta rely entirely on God's strength to bring me through every single day.

watch and wait

unexpected.

i got back my results on friday.. got 14 pts..

at first it didn't really sink in, and like everything was very strange, but yeah soon i felt quite disappointed. my first thoughts were, 'where can i get an appeal form', and 'do i have to hand in my appeal today?'

oh well. managed to spend some time talking to a few teachers, helped me quite a bit. though i think at that time, it still hadn't really sunk in. the fact that i might not be able to stay, or even go to acjc.

It's all quite unexpected, and i guess it took me by surprise.. i really wasn't expecting a 14. at most maybe 12 or smth. but yeah. it's over la.
really gotta thank peter for talking to me and all that.. had a nice time talking with jan, peter, ian, kelvin.

i really really hope i can stay in ib..
oh well. i've just gotta leave it all up to God i guess.

after all.

hm.
after all the fun, the games, the laughter, the company, the hanging out.
it's back to school again.
sure, it's always been that way, always back to work.
it's still quite emo, to remember how fun orientation was, and to realise that it's over, and can only remain a memory.

as i go through the talks and introductions for the different subjects, i just seems as though there's so much work..
i really hope that i'll make it through.
