As most of you would know, for most of hci's people, school only starts this week, so it would mean extra one week of holidays before that. But now since we are back in school, the nightmare usually starts.
Well, at least monday was light enough, as there's no lesson for the sake of all the firstdayofschoolmanagement matters. so first day is completely for slaking purposes, EXCEPT for the afternoon in which we (being the cses) are forced to go for the cse orientation. Although I sort of missed most of it due to me waiting to buy a set of sec 4 uniform before ANYTHING ELSE. But all in all the first day is always quite smooth.
What do I feel about the rest of the 4 days? As a matter of fact, I felt strangely nothing. There is a change in language teachers, with Mrs Yong being our English teacher and Mdm Wong being our Chinese teacher. Oh, and Ms Yap became our IHE (Geog) teacher. It was quite a surprise (since we were joking about how she would be our teacher again) since she was my form teacher for sec 1 and 2, so it was pleasant to have her for geog teacher again.
For me the first week is more of a getting used after the holidays week, and there are many new topics being taught. But I still find the work load manageable, with Physics, Maths and Chemistry work waiting to be done from today. So somehow myself abnormal after reading all the others' blog post/facebook message about how tiring the first week is that they want to commit suicide (jokingly?) I suppose I'm the type of person who feel uneasy when everyone is feeling differently from me, or maybe I feel that sec 4 should be a way busier year than last year. But it's only the first week of school! Shouldn't we start off lightly first, before the work load (esp Chinese since we are taking the Chinese O-Level) starts increasing exponentially. We will have to see.
Also, I suddenly decided to start off on my idea in sec 3 (which I did not carry out because I'm too lazy) to keep some sort of diary. It will not be a diary filled with personal stuff, because that is meant to be kept at home. It will be a diary with some random notes taken in class, or some drafts of poems/stories I may want to write. I know my writing ability sucks, so there is no point in making my work public or something, it will only be kept for those who can appreciate them without laughing at me (hopefully) or for myself to destroy when the time arises (when I give up completely). There will also be another part of records of everyday life written under the title "Butterfly Effect". (I wrote it in my code, which toku gave a sour face upon seeing)
Butterfly effect, I think I found that article on wikipedia when I was randomly searching for interesting chaos theories (I started with Murphey's Law cause it's funny). Anyways the definition for butterfly effect by wikipedia is: small differences in the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. Which in another word would mean: A small change may result in a different outcome. Somehow I fell in love with the theory immediately, either it's because of the truth of the theory or because the name contains the word "butterfly". (Recently I'm in love with butterflies as well.) So anyway I made a more major part of my diary as a records for butterfly effect in my school life, written in a "what if" assumption manner. For example I would record down that I'm staying in the classroom at 7.08 am in the morning, then I would start with "what if I go for flag raising immediately" then I would list a chain of possibilities and events that may happen (it's quite astonishing sometimes to find something as small as a loose button lead to something as big as a trip to the teacher's office or something). So that will be my main written work in my diary.
And some special events that happen this week, we have high school councilor chairman polling today, between nick chuan and tim yap. But then in the end I taped off nick's name and wrote "Nancy Tay" on it and crossed that one. So it's considered as a void, but it is fun. Oh I am so not taking things seriously.
All in all, I consider first week "manageable", maybe even "easy". Let's wait for next week then, and in the mean time I would do my work.
