Piling Homework and Tests!

Hi everybody,
With the piling homework and my tests round the corner, I have been studying and do not have the time to post much. Therefore, I might just skip the blog prompts in the "News In Class" worksheets the past two weeks.

I had my Mathematics and English tests on Tuesday. The results have not come out yet, but I really hope I did well. Yesterday, Ms Soh, my Language Arts teacher, wanted the class to do a English composition to see how well we are at moving the climax to the front. The deadline for this assignment was Monday, but I completed it on the day itself as I was afraid I would not have time to do my revision if I left everything to the weekend. We were supposed to do two compositions. We were supposed to do the first composition in chronological order. For the second one, we were supposed to rewrite the first composition, but shifting the climax to the front so that the "W" effect is achieved. For both compositions, I wrote about two sides. Ms Soh said today that we were supposed to do only around one and a half pages if possible. However, I could not understand how short a piece could be achieved after writing the beginning, climax and the end. Thus, the shortest possible that I could achieve was about two sides. I wrote on a robbery by the way.

Today, my class had another assignment to do. It is a literature assignment this time. We will do this assignment with reference to the story, "Flowers for Algernon". I completed my assignment today and followed the PEE structure that Ms Soh taught us. I hope that I did my assignment correctly.

Apart from English homework, there is Science homework too. We are supposed to do a mind-map on the Bunsen burner and the types of flames and a powerpoint with your song or poem related to Science. I have not started on both yet. I plan to do at least one of them tomorrow.

During PE lesson today, we did some exercises to train our strength. In my class, as I was the only thrower and the only one who had used the room before during training, the teacher, my javelin coach, wanted me to show the class how to use some of the things in the room. I think I trained to hard there today as my muscles are aching now. Although my muscles are aching, I still have to go for training tomorrow. Up to now, I am enjoying being in javelin and I am having a lot of fun.

Despite all these, I still have to revise for my tests next week. There will be many tests next week. Practically, all the tests except Maths and English are next week. There will be a History mock test tomorrow too.

Well, this is what I can say about my school life currently. Bye.

  1. Hello Dexter,

    I agree. Secondary school life is hectic. I have to juggle school, CCA (you too), fencing and damn tuition class. Not easy.

    Yours Sincerely,

  2. Hi Dex,
    seriously I think you are to stress. You need to calm down. If I read anymore of these stress related issues I might become stressed. Your work is perfection compared to mine. I have lost a bit of hope for Maths Test 1 already.

    Ya cheers,
    Martin

  3. Hi Dexter,
    Life in secondary schools is very very tough. I have CCA twice a week. You need to relax more just like Justin. He is very relaxed. You are not the only one that is stressed. I am too!You will get used to it soon
