allright, i've neglected this blog for long enough, it's time to get some writing done.
i was standing at the gates of the school one afternoon, suddenly realising that there isn't a lot of time left for me in high school. Looking at the concrete wall of M block with bits of graffiti which the careless cleaner had left to stain. Could it be that one day i will think back and miss the time i've had in this place? I remember when i was first attending year 5, and everyday when i sat in the car on the way to school, i'd secertely pray that it will burn down before i get there. Now i am so familiar with it i don't know what life will be without it.
Yes, perhaps a few years on, when i am fully grown i'll come to appreciate the times i've had at school...
maybe i am being over-sensitive... because all the friends i've talked to either never thought about this, or they "don't give a damn", maybe it's because most of them never left to live in another country, so they haven't had those emotional experiences before. Maybe they hate the school so much they are happy to leave ; maybe that's why they made life so painful in year 11 and 12 so people won't feel sad when they leave school. Either way, i think most people will eventually come to miss their teenage years. If you think about life in the long run, this could be the best part of it.
lol... this sounds like something i should write at the end of year 12, not in the middle of year 11, but it came up to my mind for some reason, so i'll just note in down.
Last week's been eventful, with surprises both pleasant and unpleasant. To start with, i got my first ever major detention in senior school... (which is not a part of school i think i will miss) and not surprisingly, it was from chinese. I am tired of describing my chinese teacher. Just imagine your parents at their most exhausting, stubborn and annoying state and that would be her in a good mood. Apparently, she was NOT in a good mood on wednesday morning when i had my lesson. She gave us an essay to do the day before, and expected us to hand it in by the next(which is arguably a short time). Now i maintain to this moment that i would with every possiblity, complete the work even with such a short amount of time given that i had at least one hour. But on tuesday i simply did not have that luxury. There was sports training in the afternoon, and violin lesson at night. After which it was already 10pm.
A normal person could see that i should get at least one day extention, right?
I tried to tell her that, but the result was detention next thursday afternoon.
the only consolation being there are five other people who were similarly reprimanded, just to prove that i was not the only one finding it difficult to finish the essay.
now that i am despondent enough, i don't feel like writing anymore, maybe i'll write some more tomorrow. It's getting late
wish everyone well, and perth and uni people a good start to the new term

It's good that you're thinking about your future, it means you'll appreciate the time you have left a lot more. Most people tend to ignore the fact that things change because it's easier to live that way. I'm sure your friends will realise how much fun it was in highschool, but for now, they're living the moment (or many too loaded up with homework to care). It's really important though, that you don't get held back by nostalgia. A few of my friends in uni don't enjoy it because they are tied back by how much they miss highschool. I'm not saying that you should forget highschool, the reason I enjoy uni so much is both because I know what's past won't come back (dwelling on past hapiness won't lead you to future hapiness) and cuz i want to enjoy uni as much as I enjoyed high school. A really good way of getting out of detentions is writing notes and getting your friends to sign them with illegible signatures, because teachers don't know what your parents' signatures look like anyways (partly how i managed to survive high school without any detentions or anything). Worst comes to worst, pull out some old essay so it looks like you did work but you forgot what it is that you were supposed to do ^_^. There are many many ways of cheating the system. Seriously.....the closer that people live to school, the later they are to it -_-"
