Hi again guys! :) I'm sorry for not writing since my last entry on the 7th of December. I just was too caught up in school to remember the blog, but after rereading my Timeline on Facebook, I realised that I had one post about the blog (made in 2011) and I felt unhappy about "abandoning" it for such a long time.
Anyway, I'm back with more news for the school year. First, let's start with the first day of school...
The first day of school for grade 4 made me extremely nervous, and I had fits the night before just thinking about it. New classmates, new BFFs, maybe a new teacher... I was going to have to get used to being in such new surroundings.
As my mother shook my shoulder, I snapped awake. Blinking sleepily at my mum, I tried to understand why I had to get up so early. I was used to waking up late in the December holidays, and I couldn't figure out why my mom was looming over me and telling me to take a bath. Then, suddenly, my mind snapped into 'alert mode'. I sat up immediately after my mum had left the room and rubbed my eyes hurriedly. Glancing at my watch, I gasped. It was already 6.05?! Oh man, I was going to be sooooo late! Jumping out of my bed awkwardly as if I had been bitten by a black widow, I ran out of the room and turned on the lights of my bathroom. After I had changed into my school uniform, I half - ran - and - half - walked to the dining table. Eating my breakfast as quickly as I could, I glanced at the white clock on the wall. 6.45! I shot up and figuratively ran to the kitchen, placing my plate in the sink. I couldn't be late! Hurrying, I rushed out of the door with my brother, who had gotten ready for school with me. As I continuously jabbed the lift button, my brother poked his head slightly out of the corridor and examined the students who were scurrying about in the lift lobby below. Finally, the lift arrived and I heaved a sigh of relief.
Upon reaching school, I quickly sat down in my class' line (my class is T1) and pulled out a story book to read. I tried reading the book, but, unlike the previous days where this book was entirely engulfing and interesting to me, I wasn't paying any attention to it at all. I kept on looking around nervously to see if I could spot my form - class teacher. However, with the many teachers sitting around and chatting happily, I couldn't tell one apart from the other. So, I just decided to see if any of my new classmates were ones that I knew... And I could spot a few! They were Lok Yan (she was in my CCA group last year but quit after finding it too difficult), Edmund (he was in my class since Primary 2), Leroy (he lives on the ninth floor on my block), Trixie (she was in my class since Primary 2 as well), Jon (she was in my class in Primary 2), Akshaya (I barely knew her, but Trixie introduced me to her last year), Sarah (she's very popular), Dao Yong (he was in my class last year), Geraint (he was in my class since Primary 2), Angeline (she was in my class since Primary 2) and Clement (he was in my class last year). Wow! I knew so many of them! I couldn't believe that I thought I was going to be lonely in the first place. Trembling with anxiety and excitement, I quietly greeted all my friends and turned back to my book. I always heard one of my classmates' voices behind, and I couldn't concentrate... It was then that I knew that this year was going to be tough. I could only focus on my book when I knew every single person in my class... And doing that in the first day was not going to be an easy task.
Okay... That's it for part 1. I hope that I will be able to publish part 2 as soon as possible, but for now, I think that my post is long enough. I really am glad that you still check my blog for entries... And be warned that, in - between the different "parts" of "My First Day Of School", I will be entering some more entries based on my daily life. I think that i can't really catch up with you on the rest of the year, and I regret that very much... But hey, you can't turn back time... right? :) I've got to accept what I already have and work on with it form there.
Best Regards,
Kirsten Clare.
P.S. Happy reading! :D
