Some stuff.

Hi friends.

Since I want to post for no reason at all I shall just go on a frenzy and then die out. Hmm.

1. Third lang and theory are Herculean stuff to learn.
Actually everyone probably knows that already. But in third lang, IT IS SO FRIGGIN EASY TO FALL ASLEEP. FOr some reason.

Amanda(sitting next to me):*nods off* *suddenly wakes up* Grace what is the teacher talking about?
Me: Huh? I don't know. *closes eyes* *struggles to open*
Teacher: Grace how would you say "Whose beautiful umbrella is that?"
Me: *saywhat?!* um, .....(crap that I mumbled without knowing what I really said)
Teacher: NO! Beautiful is a "na" adjective (or was it "i" adjective?) and blahblahblah... so your sentence should be _______!
Me: *feigns understanding*
Teacher: So how would you say, "Whose red umbrella is that?"
Me: (craps something up)
Teacher: NO! Red is an "i" adjective, why you blahblahblah....
Me: Screw all of you stupid retarded umbrellas.

BUT VERY MIRACULOUSLY I passed my last Jap test with 60 something percent.It's a lousy score BUT PASSING IS PASSING. Hoorayyyyy.Theory is pretty much something like that, but without me feeling sleepy. It's more like me listening and trying to understand but not understanding. And when she goes "Do you understand?" I just nod my head dumbly. I think I don't dare to tell her otherwise because she will end up asking me what I don't understand. I can't bring myself to say "everything". Sometimes I think I understand, I AM PRETTY SURE I UNDERSTAND, and then I get it wrong. Pssh.

Tip for staying awake in third lang: Take off your shoes and your socks. YES BAREFOOT. You'll feel different and that will keep you awake for a while. 30 minutes?

2. Sabbaticals
Yes they are coming, and goodness the courses really suck. How are we supposed to choose?!
-Street Jazz. YOu know, you might just want to come so that you can laugh your head off watching me screw up. Or you might not want to come because I will trip and drag you down with me. Besides it isn't that cool walking around headless. But I think this will be very popular. It's my first choice too.

-Toy Stories. You're supposed to see the meaning behind EVERY toy...how they influence our lives...AH, THE PROFOUNDNESS, THE BEAUTY!! Exploration of the deepest - you know what never mind. Second choice.

- Storytelling skills.
Yup. The teacher's bound to make some comment about my unclear enunciation if I get in, and I'm sure it will be pretty boring. But well it can't get too bad and we ARE learning something helpful. Third choice.

-Inline skating. Done it in P4, and I like as well as hate it at times. Long since I last skated. Let me just warn you that if I collide into you if I get into the course you can blame yourself for deciding to stand near me. Fourth choice.

-Chinese opera. I don't need to say more. Any teacher who gets me as a student if I end up in this course is doomed to be stuck with a yawning student. Fifth choice.

-Fencing. NO WAY. Somehow either your head or mine will end up getting impaled on the sword. Sixth choice.

-Silat. *silence* Seventh choice. NO WAY.

So yeah I hope to get into Street Jazz which is pretty unlikely because of popularity. And I really would like to post more but I'll stop. I hope to post the rest of what I wanted to post sometime soon. HOPE.

btw JIAYOU for block tests!!!!!! And um Happy Birthday to everyone. In case I didn't announce your birthday in the past months.

Cheers

Dedicated to Facebook

Dear Facebook,

I...know. I'm sorry I had to do this. Do you think I wanted to? I don't want to say this, but you were the one who forced me to this end. You are becoming too possessive, too much of a distraction, and it isn't healthy for us. Let's just end it.

When we first started, you were a little joy and perk that I enjoyed. We started well, with me often sharing with you my thoughts, feelings, achievements and photos. You kept in contact with all of my friends and in turn shared with me their thoughts and little stories, as well as your own. You entertained me when I was bored or just wanted to take a break. You challenged me to games like word games so that I could improve our vocab together. You played with me so many fun games to kill time or relax. The best part was that you were relaxed with me and you did not become a distraction in my life by being possessive or annoying. I looked forward to spending time with you.

But things had to change. You became possessive. You refused to let me spend time with others. You became jealous the moment I tried to spend time seriously with others like Homework because you wanted me to think of you all the time. You couldn't stand it if I wasn't thinking of you for a minute or two. You started pulling me away from my life, forcing me to spend time with you, even though I had more important, constructive things to do. I wasted my time on you and got into serious trouble for not operating the rest of my life properly. Because I spent so much time with you, you became an addiction, a distraction, and you wrecked the normal life I had before meeting you. You gave me more stress and frustration, yet I didn't want to let you go.

But this cannot continue. I must put a stop to this, and make life the way it used to be. I have had happy memories with you, and I'm glad that I ever met you. I'm sorry I can't create more happy memories with you. Perhaps one day, we will meet again, and start anew. But I suggest that you do not wait.

Bye.
