deal

I was picked up by my dad today after tutor, much to my surprise. Here's how it went down: I jumped in the car after saying goodbye to my friends and then I shouted "HI MUM!" from the backseat. No reply. It was strange, because mum normally left the car engine on and running to get home early and that today there was no vroom. I then looked at the front seat and was like "Mum, where's Melody?" And then I looked at my mum, and realised it was my dad and I was like "OMG HI DAD :DDDDDD" And we both laughed because of my routine greetings after tutor.

After that, we spoke of career choices (our main subject of conversation when alone) and he said "I would like to have you become a doctor/dentist". I mean, I think I've made myself pretty clear that I'm going to steer clear from such medicinal courses, but I saw something better: I would have my dad quit smoking. I mean, it's pretty sad to become a doctor and being incapable of saving your father from the perils of lung cancer and gangrene. But I provided an ultimatum nonetheless - if I were to achieve an ATAR of 98.9+, he'll give up smoking. Entirely.

I mean, I can't bet that with the subjects I'm doing, an almost perfect score is possible, but it's something I'm willing to work toward. But in terms of short-term goals, 100% in any maths test will reduce his smoking habits. I must also add my dad's reason for being so enthused about a career in medicine: "Like the iPod. It changes everyday. Like being a mechanic like me. You need new skills all the time. You have to learn all the time. But people die everyday, and there's only one way to save them."

It sounds quite morbid, but it's reality. He says that we should give back to humanity. I chortled inwardly, because I despised Chemistry, one of the many relevant subjects in the medical field. No, despite my dad stating his want for a medical career, I will not defer to that subject. Ever. And I personally don't hold anything against Biology, but it probably didn't come to me as easily as I wanted it to. Speaking of which, it reminds me of when Steph called Annie a science student when she's heads down and working. I'm curious, but what am I? I feel as though I'm here and there, and not definite about whatever I'm doing.

I shall go off now. And a side note: I lost my 15 pages of Business Studies notes and my 4 pages of The Pied Piper of Hamelin questions because my computer crashed and burned. The screen wouldn't turn on. Off now, goodnight!

completion

I HAVE COMPLETED MY HOMEWORK. I am so happy, I can go to church free of worries. I hate coming to tutor late, it undermines the true nature of my devotion to tutor. Sad, but true. In any case, I've figured out 9d and e and 10c hfjakhfakljh *CONFETTI* I think I dread going to tutor for the first few hours before it starts and then come home and study like nothing happened. This is becoming a bad habit of mine, right about now. But no matter, I got a lot of work done today. Here's a list over the past 2 days:

1. Finished questions on the Pied Piper of Hamelin
2. Finished doing 3u tutor homework
3. Started doing maths homework from school
4. Writing comprehensive notes for Business Studies
5. Finished planning my experiment for Physics tomorrow

I shall now start studying for 4u tutor and hope to end this nightmare called "Complex Numbers". GOODBYE ALL!

endearing

I AM ALMOST DONE WITH THESE PIED PIPER QUESTIONS. And then I'll do maths homework and finish tutor homework.

Last night, I slept at 1:30AM (bad idea, because I have tutor until 9 tonight). I seriously hope Sir moves tutor to a Friday or something. I think he said he might move it to Saturday? NOOOOO. But yeah, I slept really late. I then woke up at around 3, feeling like I couldn't move my body. I knew I was awake, because heck, I saw the flashes of my dormant alarm and I could tell the time, but I felt a pressure on me. On my left arm and then my right arm, and my legs. I couldn't breath sometimes and I couldn't scream out for help. I felt my cheeks move, but my mouth staying still. It was ridiculous. And my first theory was that I was possessed by a demon or some shit (Paranormal activity LOL). And then I broke free and I turned on my light and slept with it on.

I think that's what it feels like to be paralysed. My mum said it was because I was tired or because I was lying my left side (hence the lack of movement due to the lack of blood - that's just my knowledge, I might be wrong LOL I'm not Biology/PDHPE-inclined). So yeah, I'm a bit scared to sleep now. Practical exam tomorrow. I shall go off now and finished the Pied-Piper questions and do maths homework from school. CHEERIO!

business

It's something I think I'm fairly passionate about. Here's my pictorial progress, showing how I ploughed through the assessment in 2 days. Excluding the week after which I used for excessive editing. Overall, I was fairly pleased.

SATURDAY - DAY 1

SUNDAY - DAY 2

No, this isn't day 3. These are my newly typed Business Studies notes. I've summarised basically the first 2 chapters of my textbook. It seems long, probably because I have irrelevant information, but I can't cut it down. I indent to finish another 2 chapters tomorrow, thus completing my first topic.

I'm sleeping in tomorrow. It's final. I'm too tired. I'm getting tired of my parent's constant dissatisfaction, that I've stopped telling them whatever I have at school. No more exams, no more homework. I wonder if any of them will notice LOL. They are now lying in constant anticipation of my sister's opportunity class results, since they've probably lost all hope in me.

resistance

Physics, why do you boggle my mind. Why do we need a variable resistor?

Scratch that, Steph N told me we didn't need to (or at least I didn't, because my drawing didn't feature it). I SHALL TYPE IT UP NOW, WITHIN 30 MINUTES OR SO, AND THEN STUDY IT. AND THEN I'LL FINISH TUTOR HW...

I feel so happy, thanks Steph <3 :D

WOOHOO!

notes

I have this thing for not taking other people's notes unless completely necessary. Which is never. Well, unless I'm away (I'm sorry). If it's not in my own words, I won't understand it. So here I go, I'm going to start typing up my Business Studies notes and probably start on Physics. I left out question 9d and 9e, question 10c and I'm currently unsure about question 4c on the level exercise (2). Did anyone get the axis for question 4c as negative a over 4?

I'm a bit confused. If PG was from point P to point G on the axis, and PQ = GP, wouldn't Q = G? Unless I'm diagramatically wrong... But I'm sure everything fits. I'll spend two hours typing up the first topic of the textbook and start Physics toward the end or something. Then I'll cut my fingernails to do piano. I've been too lax about it, and since the exam costs $89.00 or something, I don't want it to go to waste.

And Teezles, I think the cake pops or that red velvet truffle sweet thing would be (Y)!

overestimation

I think I might have overestimated the immensity of my tutor homework. However, I shall not celebrate as of yet, because I still have four days next week taken up by competitions and exams. I think my relief for tutor homework has increased because Cynthia said it wasn't as bad as sir made it out to be. (Y)
