all that jazz :)

okay so THE WEEKEND'S HERE. finally. it's taken too long to arrive.

homework has been a chore and bore. raaaah. there has been a remarkable increase in the number of GRADED assignments we're getting, because the school has decided that we'd get 20% weightage off our promos to be accounted for by VARIED ASSESSMENTS.

according to our principal, this move was taken after a select group of ip parents and students feedbacked to the school that we weren't getting enough homework, and that school was slack, blabla, blabla, blablabla.

well. talk about qualitative representation. two-thirds of ip didn't even KNOW such a feedback session took place until the teachers dropped the bombshell on us.

now the workload is REALLY taking a toll on us, and it really sucks to see how your opinion isn't represented when you're the ones who will be directly affected by any changes made. AND WHOEVER SAID SCHOOL WAS SLACK FOR US, MAY YOU SPROUT WARTS THE SIZE OF CHINA.

negative feelings aside, i don't think varied assessments are entirely a bad idea though. eggs you on to do continuous revision. at most, we'd learn to cope again (i mean that's the only thing you can do anyway if you can't reverse the change).

oh well.

i think anybody who wants to get slim should find a boyfriend. or girlfriend, whichever's applicable. after careful observation i have concluded that being in a relationship makes you eat less.

feifan, wanna solve the problem of your insatiable appetite? :)
