There is an exam tomorrow...

I woke up feeling really terrible today. Last night I had been at a piano teacher's house practicing for the exam and my scales are atrocious. I can't play so many of them.

And I went to sleep the moment I got home without packing my bag or anything, and I woke up the next day, which is today. It feels like I had a nightmare when I woke up, but I do not remember having one. Rather, maybe it is the worried feeling for my piano exam that makes me feel so terrible.

So I went to school dreadfully. We did volleyball for PE today and my hand and wrist hurt a lot from all that hitting. After that we had an hour and a half break thanks to temperature taking period so Daniel dillon and I and other people went to play badminton. It had been very long since I played badminton in school properly so it feels so fresh playing again.

During math lesson I was called to recite the vertical line test again and answer another easy question. (because I was talking)

And then there was english lesson which was as boring as usual, afterwhich I rushed home to practice piano.

My scales and pieces are a lot better now already after 2 and a half hours of practice.

Got to get up early tomorrow to go for piano exam.

Good news to me: Get to skip Physics lesson tomorrow.
Bad news: Missing chemistry which is 2 hours long and the most fun subject to study this semester.

Oh well, hopefully I will do well tomorrow.

School Reopens

School reopens and there are a lot of things to do.

Today there was biology and we had to count the number of cells under the microscope. It was so annoying that in the end everyone made up numbers to write into the worksheet.

And we have learnt about organic chemistry too which has been quite interesting to me so far.

During math lessons mr li keeps on calling me to answer questions because I am usually talking in class.

So yesterday he asked me what is the vertical line test, and I did not know how to phrase it, so I had to stand up.

Now I remember.

"If a vertical line cuts a graph in the xy plane only once, the graph is the representation of a function."

Physics lessons are long and dreary because the teacher always overdo trying to make the reader understand the steps to a solution. So the whiteboard ends up full of language and no numbers.

And I signed up for sports nutrition and physics olympiad training too.

This semester looks like it is going to be better than the last.

At the same time, it is a lot busier so I have to end off now.
