I've been blog reading, only 2 blogs, that came "recommended" by Blogbuzz. Not too bad, I'd say. But the one I was more impressed with was "Ah Yes, Medical School". I genuinely enjoyed reading his blog. Haha, kinda makes you think twice if you wanted to join med school.
Treat me kind, keep me safe, show me love, I'll embrace. If you take me home, where I was born, I'd find peace of mind, somehow
Lots of work coming up later. Inorganic chem questions, AJ paper 3 (chem, yet again), maths sums (stats). The only good thing is that there is no bio or econs homework, mainly because I finished them *waits for applause, in vain lol*. I'm slow when it comes to work, oh bother.
Give me love, show me grace, give me time, and a little space. If you take me back, where I belong, I'd find peace of mind, somehow
Today, the P reviewed the cohort's prelim results. Heh, ALL subjects showed a deterioration based on the year-on-year statistics. I feel sorta gratified that I'm within the top 10% (considering 2% ended up with 4As and 6% with 3As, and I'm among that 6%). Does that mean I will FINALLY get that Edusave scholarship, which will be my second time getting it, the first being in 1998, after which I ended up with 6 consecutive years of being offered the Edusave Merit Award? It's always painful to get that letter that tells you "you're not good enough for the Edusave scholarship, but we can try to give you the merit award instead, the question is, are you poor enough?" My point of view has always been that all deserving students, regardless of family income level, should be allowed to receive the merit awards or bursaries because they worked for it. I understand why the income quota is there, to help the needy or the poor, obviously. But why penalise hardworking students who work their butts off for decent grades who just happen to be in families with a monthy gross income exceeding SGD$3000? Anyhow, all this talk is premature (though the issue isn't), I'll see if I even get a letter in December. Lol.
Give me hope, in life I pray, it's good when I'm bad, I'm sorry to say. When I feel you inside, deep within me, I'll find peace of mind, somehow
Another thing the P did that was a little surprising but was expected nonetheless. She plugged for prom. Talk abt desperation. It seems that they stand to lose 25K should the event be a no-go. They're going to the extent of offering subsidies to students from sports and performing arts groups, and again, treating service group members as 2nd class citizens as we have come to get used to in typical Singaporean schools. Yes, only recognise those who can bring home medals or SYF awards to the school. The others? THey don't exist. But what the heck, I'm not really bothered about the subsidies, which amounts to about half the price of the ticket, but how they treat students from service groups. Just because these people don't bring glory to the school doesn't make them any less of a student. Of course, which school subscribes to the whole equality of students anymore? You either focus on the academically inclined or muscially inclined, physically inclined (which sounds a little odd lol, but heck). Part and parcel of life in schools here.
Ahh.. time to get off and do some work =( Be back when I can.
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
