Heyo guys! Did you know that I'm eleven years old now? Well, I am, and if you're in Singapore, then you'll know that I'm in Primary 5. And what happens during Primary 5? That's right - we poor children get our sudden rush of hormones. :( That's really bad news for some people, and now P 5 is especially frustrating because of everything that the hormones are causing.
But I guess that maybe not everything that is stressing me out this year is caused by hormones.
This year, it's the year before the Primary School Leaving Examination, which is, by my standards, the most important exam... At least for now. So the teachers are getting really stressed up about preparing us for this examination, and my brother is sitting for the examination this year, too! Not sure he feels the stress, though. :/ He's still as playful as ever... I'm not saying that he doesn't work hard - he really does - but sometimes I wonder how he can stand to be so relaxed when it's only three or four months to the first exam, which is the Oral test. He doesn't have any problem with oral either... But anyway, this year, the academics have become especially tough, and I'm getting lots of red X's on my papers. Since my brain, for some reason, has not yet registered that primary 5 is harder than P4, I'm feeling a bit depressed and I keep wondering why I get so many questions wrong. Posting here is actually a kind of way to de-stress myself, but then now that I think about it, I think that I de-stress way too much, because I read for hours (okay, maybe not really hours) on end and I do this and that and check my FB account and the yahoo news... And by the time I revise a bit and do all my homework, which by the way I always do before I do all of the de-stressing stuff, it's time for dinner. I suppose I can squeeze in an hour or two of listening to the teacher on Superstar Teacher, too, but that's mostly mundane and I feel like sleeping unless I actively participate in the lesson and do the questions along with the teacher. :(
I know I sound like a really lazy person when I say that... But I guess that I kind of am. So to make up for that, I'm going to study now and I might not post until... Later. Anyway, I still have a bit of time to study before the exams, right?
Oh, and the exams are starting in three days. :)
