A personal entry
Hello fellow classmates.I know that it's been a pretty tough with and some getting used to, but PUSH ON!Been feeling pretty low myself too and I felt like I’m stuck in a rut.Or just in a bad place, at a bad time.It was the worst first week of school for me, ever.A mountain of homework to be done, new teachers, that overwhelming sense of helplessness....I won't deny that I’ve actually been SERIOUSLY contemplating suicide, for the first ever,Just because of all the homework/stress blahs.Yes, SUICIDE. I know all of you may think I’m being really stupid, but i totally felt so bad that all the work piled up constantly, and it was either I couldn't do it right, or that i couldn't do it at all.I was clueless, and exhausted. Wednesday and Thursday were the WORST.I was really, really BENT on suicide because nothing half this bad has ever happened to me.To top it off, I was getting pretty little sleep, and it made me sick and REALLY unhappy. (No, Vincent- I did not pon GP, econs and geog on purpose.)I’d also cried constantly because 1) I was not feeling well at all, and 2) rather upset about school.You may wonder why am I telling you guys this, butNo, I don't crave attention.No, I’m not trying to gain sympathy.And no, I’m not trying to play the role of the poor little girl either.Au contraire, it's all because I don't want any of you guys to ever be in my position.Carol said to me: "Don't let the stress get to you, girl. You have to use it as a form of motivation!" She's right. Ms. aminah is well, a mean econs MACHINE, yes, but we all know that she's a first-class teacher, and once we're under her, an A is already in the bag. I suppose the price we pay for that would be like an hour long class which doubles up as cardio exercise daily. As for the other new teachers, I suppose we'll just have to adapt to their new teaching styles. (:Thank you, Carol.To all, or if not, some of you, I’m the girl who disappears during breaks, refusing to socialize with you guys. I apologize for that. Truth is, (I’ll be honest here) I've never really believed in having cliques, so I generally hop about, like some social butterfly of sorts. It’s different, but it's just me, I suppose, but I’m trying to change that now. And I just never really confided in you peeps cos I didn't want to burden you people with my problems aye? But let's look forward, and MUG HARDDD for our As together!We are 129 '05, and nothing will ever change that.We just gotta keep fighting, and PERSERVERE.We're gonna keep our heads up HIGH, and get those As!129 '05, let's go get ‘em. (:MUCHLOVES.Char*(hopefully, still the hyper cheerleader of the class.)
