Hello pple!
I'm posting this randomly for no apparent reason :D
I'm not so creative as to create some story about some scandal,
nor am I intelligent enough to spout some random equation up here.
However what I CAN do, is write nonsense and utter crap which has no particular relevance here at all :D (actually everyone can do that)
Block tests are over, and the worst part of block tests - receiving the results - are also over! XD cheers! Hurray! This means FUN!!!
BUT nooooooooooooooooooooo
The school refuses to give J1s a break. After the hectic block tests, up comes a math lecture test and a chem lecture test smacking us right in the face. There goes the collection of TONS of notes ( I <3 organic chem!! :D) that fill our bags to 200000000kg. And when you have sadistic/nonchalant tutors teaching u subjects related to languages/humanities, sometimes you just wana curl up and die. When you receive your paper and see this big red mark staring back and laughing at you, you just want to kill yourself and commit suicide! :(
But then again, we must all relax once in a while, regardless whether you did well or not for block test.
