Two months in
So its August 29th. I've just finished up my first exams of the year. And I'm feeling alright? Surprisingly.
This year feels weirdly easier than last year. Not saying any of this is easy; I'm still struggling heavily on math (but compared to last year I'm more proficient) and everything is hard to keep track of -- what with me now assuming leadership roles (secretary of my club! woo!) -- it feels less avalanche adjacent than first quarter year 9.
Year 9 was, like, a roller coaster. Both of emotions and of everything in my life. In fairness I had just transferred schools and my old school's system is completely different from my current system. I guess adjustment is a factor but then again, I'm year freaking 10 now! I assumed it'd have been harder, especially in the first quarter 'cause I have to adjust to all my new teachers.
I guess, maybe, where people had it hardest I had it easiest. No secret here that I am good at memorisation, which made Biology this quarter pretty easy! It was a lot of memorising systems, diseases, and the central dogma of DNA. I loved the DNA lesson, it was very fun. I liked the English lessons too. The Filipino stories (and assessments) felt easier than last year's. Maths, though incredibly confusing, I managed to pass 3 out of 5 quizzes we had this quarter. Sounds bad BUT in comparison I had only passes 1 last year in the first quarter. Yikeess
I'm hoping September will go easy on me. Always a stressful time, it is, September to November. Once December hits all my troubles seemingly fade away into the abyss. Possibly because it's Christmas time BUT who really knows?
Besides all that, I'm super excited for my year! I know it'll be stressful but I'll have so many opportunities. For instance, my club (the art club) has a pretty big collab with another club. I'm so so so hyped for it; I can't wait to manage the project :-)! Also, Sports Fest is in October! Wah! I finally get to run again! I love running, which makes sense for me to be in track, unfortunately there are so many activities I can apply myself in. There's banner and cheer, mascot making, the art activities, maybe even tug of war. Wahh, It'll be hard to pick but we persevere! I'll cap or co-cap track if it comes to it though, me thinks. Oh! And my team this year is blue :-) Last year was red.
ANYWAYS that's enough rambling. I'm just really excited because school has started to feel less threatening to me. The workload is the same for sure; but I just feel so EXCITED the more we near sports fest and everything else... sigh. As always, hopes be many and woes be few; fortunes be abundant to you and your crew.
P.S: Today or the other day I while sitting with my friend she said to me, "okay, Mr. Congeniality." THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY it's been in my mind for DAYS now, I was the type of kid back in grade 4-7 to think I'd be a loner for the rest of my life (not because I wanted to be a loner, just for the aesthetic. I dunno I was a gachakid okay I wanted the hated child becomes hybrid princess treatment) so being told by someone I was very friendly is fantastic. She does have a point though I know a lot of people. It's just very funny to me
