Currently sat in the living room awaiting my parents' return from Taiwan. Mom just called from the airport so they should be back in about half an hour!! Mom left for Taiwan midweek for some conference as part of her job and Dad just decided to tag along just because. It's quite annoying because I really want to travel too.

This week has been decent. I had my very first paper, which was English, on Friday. I was a bundle of nerves on Thursday night, trying to do as much as I can to 'study' for English. I swear I've never been this nervous for an English examination. When I sat in the exam hall, I was so sick to my stomach, I felt like puking. In past English papers, I've always written narratives using the one word topic. This time, I wrote the one word topic as usual but the first idea that came to my mind was to write a discursive essay. Teachers in my school strongly discourage discursive/expository essays so I probably got myself into a deep pile of dung by doing a discursive. Also, I lost track of my ideas midway through my essay so one of my paragraphs didn't quite make sense, looking back now. But I felt happy after I had completed it and I felt an odd sense of peace even while I was writing. I know my God was there right beside my urging me on and even writing for me at some point in time. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but it's what I believe in. And for the very first time in ages, I'm thoroughly satisfied with my situational writing and it's of a decent length to boot. The comprehension paper didn't go quite as well though. The passages required quite a lot of reading and re-reading to understand and they didn't seem to answer the questions given. I don't think I'm going to fare quite well this time but I've done all I've can so I'll just leave it in God's hands now. 2 papers down, 15 more to go.

I'm so worried that I can't finish studying for my papers in time. So far, I've only finished Social Studies and my paper's on Tuesday so that's safe. I have 4 more chapters of Chemistry to go and the paper's on Wednesday (?) so I guess that's safe to. But what really worries me is History. I've only started a little on the first chapter, which is also the smallest and easiest chapter and my paper is on Thursday. There is a shit ton to study for History, I may need some kind of miracle here God.

I had the worst hair day in the history of my life today. My hair was completely shit and I felt so ugly ugh. In a bid to slightly rectify this problem, I decided to tie a braid with a complete random clump of my hair. It didn't really make much of a difference seeing as you can't really see it with it being obscured beneath my shitty hair but I felt happy so who cares? I present to you my Jedi braid (taken after I got home):


I know it's quite stupid to take a picture of my black hair against a black shirt and that it's quite a stupid photo but whatevs.

On a last note, this is my 99th post making the next my 100th post.
