Life - 3/1 - Wednesday

P.S. I am falling back on a lot of posts I wanna make. I will slowly post them up over the weekend hopefully.
==
so today is the beginning of a new school year and I am now the seniorest in school, except those 30 plus sec 5s.
mrs teo gave a super lengthy speech (1 1/2 hours at the hall, 15 minutes at parade square) as usual to annouce what we achieved in the past year.
met the CM and chose new class committee again. I am still ICT rep. I wanted to be secretary though. that position has such a nice name and yet you dont have to do any work. damn.
anyway, looking at the sec 1s scampering around for orientation, I am impressed how much I have grown and matured within this 3 years plus. no wonder they say teenage years is a period of extreme change.
==
some updates on teachers:
CM and sciences:
4/5 CM is now Mrs Yeo, the chemistry teacher. not only did her wish of not teaching us this year not happen, she even became our CM.
the class have more respect for her so things should become better. I hope.
the previous CM, mdm soh continues to teach us Biology, though she is no longer CM.
Mathematics:
E Maths teacher is now madam chang. I am very sure she isnt very good just seeing how easy the papers she set are.
to make matters worse, A Maths is now a combined lesson with 3/4 by Mr Leong and Miss Chua at the AVA. I now have maths teachers of two extreme ends.
I am so dead.
Languages:
change of chinese teachers happened since the condensed timetable last year. it is HOD Chinese Mrs Yeo PC. so nothing much here.
english is still smithy methias. I am very interested to see how he much more strict he will be with the class this year, with the girls around.
Humanities:
rosmiliah is going on training according to my cousin, so the switch to Mr Gerald is expected. good thing I did not get ridz like 4/4.
combined humanities is still chloe png, which is splendid.
Others:
PC and CME is combined into a single 50 minutes block, with Vicki Loh taking CME. it will be interesting to see how lessons will be arranged.
no more vilau for PE (4/4 got them, LOL) and now is someone called Michelle, a relief for Choo since he resigned according to our new wonderful CM.
Overall:
my teachers had overhauled quite a bit. changes in maths is the most depressing for me since I got the two teachers I hoped I would never ever get. I can live with the rest though.
==
other than teachers, facilities changed too with a new school campus:
Classroom:
why the heck are sec 4 classrooms on first floor!?
the chairs are in merry colours of red, yellow, green and turquoise! even my primary school dont do this.
the whiteboard rests on a sliding panel that can open to the next class, useful for combined lessons. interesting idea.
more fans, lights and space. good.
where is the "stage" the proposal talked about?
Canteen
japanese food stall not open yet. aww.
the western food seems pretty overpriced. nothing of theirs costs less than $1.50. my chicken chop with fried rice cost $2.20.
cold drink operator did not change. prices same too.
pretty strangely shaped in my opinion.
General:
the mudskipper pond is still a mudskipper pond.
why does classrooms not get reservoir views?
the hall no aircon! I will die of heatstroke in O Levels!
why are classrooms so isolated?
why does the principal office get a balcony??
==
enough before everyone goes crazy.
another thing is the implementation of the parade square rule. now we can no longer wait in classes for morning assembly, which sucks since I can use those time for revision for tests.
if a majority of the school fails to flaunt this rule I will be going to school at a later time.
guess this is the end for the first day of school. tomorrow's lessons are mostly lessons I like so I think I will be safe. teeheehee.
