And so, school has started. It was horrible, and the day itself felt like years. Luckily there was no lessons; there were quite a bit of administrative stuff to settle (coz we're going to Malaysia the next week...)
Anyway, it was sort of nice to find out that most of my friends didn't grow much :) Yes, I am a short guy, and it would be horrible if after two months of holidays I would be literally be in the shadow of almost everyone. At least that made me happy a little.
On a darker note however, the teachers had to start the year with what was coming in the future. I can't take that. It's like emotionally draining you of everything before the year even started. It seemed much more stressful (naturally). Since I remained in the same science class, which was miracle considering my poor results, we had to do the same research topic we did last year. Except that this time we were notified of it early, and we were given a topic (nuts, and yes, the noun 'nuts'), and naturally, there would be higher expectations to be met. I can't face that. I'll probably go nuts.
And then the science teachers talked of science scholarships that we should aim for. Pretty pointless, especially when you have to be the top 8 in the level to be selected for the scholarship. Never once was I within the top 10 in my school, and so many people fighting for these 8 seats, it's indeed pointless to think I would be able to get that. Unless miracles happen, of course, but I never believed in miracles.
So, its a long and bumpy road ahead on this one-way street! Too bad time only moves forwards. To hell with entropy.
