June holidays.
Tuesday, 10 May 2011
June holidays is two and a half weeks away. Half a week more of exams collection, 1 week of learning of Chinese chess. And a last week of IDS and IH exam.June would be a perfect opportunity for me to rest and finally catch up on some sleep, and end what is turning out to be a very bad term two. Currently, my MSG is on the rise, something one would expect if he dropped from a2 to c6 for IH and a1 to b3 for science. People could probably argue that i have not studied hard enough. But i beg to differ. It was more like not studying smart. In fact, science and IH are two subjects i studied the hardest for, with 9 and 15 pages worth of notes. Unfortunately, quite commonly, all these gone to waste with a simple mistake in test or the inability to apply knowledge in tests.
I look forward to the June Holidays as it would mean intense softball training on alternate days, that is to say Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for training as we look to prepare for our competition in july and hopefully, win the championship, the greatest prize for a sportsman. It would also mean the ability to catch up with my old school friends, as that is when we meet. Essentially, it means having time to do things i like, for example play soccer with friends. More significantly though, it enables me to spend time with my family. For much of the school terms, invitations to dining out were rejected due to me and my brother's busy schedules. June would provide a respite away from work and studies.
After all, life is not all about work. It is about play, too. Right?
