This is the worst day to start school. Ever know that 2.7 is equal 2*7, well, I did not know that it was the case, so I lose 4 marks, 4 full marks because of that, imagine 4 marks off my test, god saves me. I was so pathetic that I did not know that it was the case. Although, I did not study much for this test, I meant it to be full marks, not four marks off the test. I feel abit sorry for it. Anyway, after that we had a trial test for 2.4km run and I clocked in 13.02min which sucked like hell. I forgot to sprint in the last lap although I was unsure that it was the last lap and after knowing that it was the last lap, I sprint but it was too late. I used to clock like 12 minutes plus and this failure was way too much. I needed more practice for running and hopefully, I could clock in the right timing and not pacing the whole way. Now, it was time for reflections... this failure to know that 2.7 is 2*7 and the trial run was my fault. It showed how stupid I was and how unskilled I was in the test. I should have known all the symbols and practise more. For the run, it showed how slack I was, I needed to do more swimming, more jogging to build up stamina and strength. Another point to note, I tried my best to particpate in GP discussion, giving my views and opinions about war and the clip about war. However, the class seemed less eager in particpating although there are a few people that voiced out. Why are people still less eager in learning? Perhaps, we thought that the opinions are less constructive and rational and therefore, afraid of scolding. It was perhaps the case that the teacher sort of deter us from giving 'silly' remarks which to our point of view, it okay. I mean that I am not afraid of asking silly questions even if I'm wrong or silly about it. If I felt ignorant about war, I voiced it even if the teacher retorted back about my comment. I meant this is my view of things and I am mature enough to handle topics like that. I could not blame anyone or find fault for it because this is instill in them and there is absolutely no way in changing it anyway. What is most important is I try and I learn. It is all about independent learning people, not the usual holding by your hand and pulling you.
what we could have been, 6:03 PM.
