The previous post was a rant, and as far as me and this blog's original intentions are concerned, that wasn't exactly an update.
This is an update.
Striaght off the books, what Hazirah has done for us is really sweet. I don't care about the broken english at all...because out of everyone who have knowledge in photoshop (including me), this is the only photoshop work that i've seen, which is dedicated entirely to her friends. It just makes this poster that much more meaningful.
hmph, I should do something like this one day.
here's a huge thanks to her.
Remember about how I complained about Ms. Felina's model of teaching? I take it all back. Ms. Felina, like it or not, is our best OFA lecturer yet. Her model of teaching allows our class to multi-task like a pro! Seriously. People can be 2 assisgnments ahead, without having to feel that they're pulling wayy too forward compared to the rest of the class. This is the type of confidence Ms. Felina's model of teaching gives it's students. It's pretty darn good, especially for a subject such as OFA, where everyone can be all over the place. So far, its been excellent.
I've been reaching school late for this entire week. It's either the bus service being gay again, or its me, refusing to get out of bed on time, and take shorter baths. Most of the time, it's the latter. I should change that habit.
We learnt new stuf in POA. Trial Balance, and Trading accounts. Trial Balance was pretty fine, most of it. However, Trading accounts was a b1tch. I still haven't gotten the hang of it yet, and, look, homework galore for the weekends.
've been quite occupied with a BSE project we're supposed to do. Finding the right newspaper articles proved to be more of a challenge than we would've expect, but I think we should be just fine.
and when I say "we" from here on, i'm referring to our clique. It's funny how i've never, ever, ever, ever been in a clique in school before. I'm always jumping around from people to people. As such, i'd always had good relationships/contacts with most of the people, but not a good relationship/contanct with just 1 person. I'm not sure which is better, but both are fine if you know how to work things out and embrace.
Well, our class SC, is the most cliqued class yet that i've seen. It isn't bad, but hell, it's cliqued like crazy. Everytime, it's the same bunch of people together. The same bunch of people getting called out by teachers, and the same bunch of people who you can't speak enligsh to.
english? well yeah, ever since I came into this school, i've sufferred from language barriers in our class. Yet another reason on why I should pick up some chinese.
I still can't backtrack how our clique ended up as so, but here we are. It becomes obvious, especially after the holidays, that our class is pretty much settled. So, lo and behold, the cliques. I never really have been in a clique before, honestly. I may have once, but that was in sec4, and that was one hell of a year which I ruined for myself (yes, including a clique I might have been in, it was an indian clique). Anyway, with these nice bunch of people that i've come to known, I get along with them surprisingly well. I just wish there were more guys (i'm the only guy). I guess this is how ITE is like then. Ah well. Look on the bright side, at least it isn't as daunting as the guys at the back of the class can be sometimes. I'm not saying they're bad people, but most of the time, they just come across as unapproachable, especially when all of them are much older then me. There was once Raymond scared the shit out of me when he exclaimed the f word over a chair I was using in class. It was...kinda scary. (i'm such a paranoid little scaredy cat, wtf)
Oh, I really have to say, my results are, for once, a pleasant surprise (besides POA, where everyone who took the paper did well)
OFA: 88/100 (KC got 99!)
BSE: 40/50 (apparently 40's the highest in class, whatfux)
POA: 48/50 (everyone did well for this ^_^)
those are the written papers. We've still got some other stuff, like case studies, projects, and role-plays to be taken into account for the final result, so this isn't even the beginning. Here's hoping I can keep this pace up, because i'm a little worried for my COB role-play...and rehearsing a role-play is just retarded. Too bad, it just can't be helped. Now I gotta ask Averic for some time to rehearse on our own.
