Today was a weirdly funny (irony!) day. I was happy yet stressed up. Happy due to some hormonal reasons and stressed up cos of all the projects piling up. This morning, I forgot about the phototaking thing, which meant we couldn't take photos along with the other group members )= but then mark called halfway during assembly to tell us that we were supposed to go up to stage yadda yadda, but we were so damn far and didn't want to cause a commotion trying to make our way through, and decided against it. We still took the photo in the end, taken by Mr Koh, woah, damn spastic. According to Mr Chua, John was the only enthu one. But then again, he is always the only enthu one. It used to be Daniel, but now Daniel seems to be out of the picture too. LOL. But can't be help, there is always some sort of power conflict no matter what sort of competition/project it is. Power is everywhere. People try to gain it, others perceive it in a negative way. I'm in more or less a neutral position (i guess). That was a slightly more weird part of the day, seeing all those people and trying to make meaning out of things. But after that, it was mostly a stressful phase, trying to do some last minute edits and stuff like that. There was the ying4 yong4 wen2, which I didn't realise was today until the morning, so I rushed to study the format. Luckily it was the letter thingy, so I could remember it easily. And it was about IP again, but I think I went out of point and bah, probably didn't do well. And the second stressed part was the bio presentation. I lost my script last minute (long story) and had to use the PDA in the end. So i kind of screwed up as I accidentally deleted part of my script. So I sorta blanked out but at least I had more eye contact cos of that, since I had to make it up myself. Whew. Impromptu sia. And in the end, just now, I found my script wedged between two pieces of foolscap paper. Bleah. Have I told you the story of the foolscap paper before? I used to think it was spelt fullskept. And I laughed when some teacher felt it foolscap, and I was embarrassed in the end, cos it is really foolscap. But why is it called that? Is it foolish? And why scap? isn't skept a much better replacement. At least it is similar to sketch. Ah, we will never understand the minds of those language elites (I.e. not me lah) See, I am weirdly happy today. Making all sorts of funny comments. In a bid to release stress (is there such a term? is it relieve stress?), me, Ruiqi, Leon and Sarah were tearing up pieces of postcards. I started it as a way to tear my hatred for the unspeakables, and it ended up as a destressing "machine". We then wrote some stuff on the pieces, only a few of them, and stuffed them into a cleaned Snapple bottle. It looks so bee-u-ti-fool. Serves aesthetic purposes =D And soon our whole class will be filled with them bottles, because everyone are stressed up with the upcoming exams. And bottles are very symbolic objects. It symbolises our stress being bottled up and we have no channel for letting it out, thus we bottle them in another container to try to forget them. See, trapped stress. =X An alien is overtaking my mind.
