My First Semester as a Secondary as a Secondary School Student

Well, after a LOONG 5 months, I'm forced to admit that time just flew by. I know that its a contradiction, but hey. It's long if you look back but if you take each day as it comes, time just goes by, like sand through your fingers.

So, let's begin with the positive points. Can I do this informally? Please.

• Classmates rock
• Teachers rock
• iCouncil rocks
• NCC rocks
• Food rocks

Okay, a bit more elaboration. As a side note, notice I didn't put "Classmates rock", instead putting "Friends rock". This is because so far, everyone who has been my friend has been really nice or they wouldn't be my friend anyway.

My teachers rock too. I haven't been scolded at all this term, and my LA teacher, who's my Projects Day mentor and who conscripted me into LA fest preparations (which is on 3rd June @ ACS(I) for P4s. See you there!), is really nice too. My History teacher has a new policy: "Get even, not angry". I think that's a good policy! :)

iCouncil rocks because it does. Especially the councillors. When they took us for Sports Meet (not CSM) weeks ago, they tried to get us to cheer loudly but all of us were really unsupportive and it was... stupid. I'm also running to be a councillor, as mentioned in March, I think.

NCC rocks because all our seniors are really nice. Our NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers) bring us for Games every 3 weeks or so, which is way better than our Part B and C seniors, who never go for Games during training. June camp is coming up, and it's supposed to be really tough and all that, but I'll blog about it once I return from it ^.^

Food rocks. Trust me, it does. During recess, the queues at every store are unbelievably long, because the food at our canteen is so nice that even JC and HCIS students come to our canteen to eat. Try it some day if you can.

Now to the not-so-pleasant side.

• Some classmates have a little... problem...--> teachers scolding us like there's no tomorrow

As you might have noticed, there is only one little thing to blight the Secondary School experience. Granted, some of the blame lies on me too. Sometimes. Because, as Einstein says, " The world is not a dangerous place because of those who do evil, but those who stand by and do nothing". I shall not dwell on this unpleasant matter anymore.

As usual, every year there will be some interesting highlights. Let's do this in chronological order.

• Orientation
• Meeting of Teachers for the first time
• "Discovery" of Projects Day
• 1st Ever Consortium Assembly
• Person X seeing iSpark's DC
• Person Y seeing iSpark's DC
• 1I1 v2.0
