Yes call me crazy. I've been obsessed with chinese books, especially picture books by 幾米. They're just... amazingly... emotional. Here are some quotes that you probably won't bother reading but meh.
今天我下定决心，要去完成我们的约定。
我什么事都往最坏的方向想，你却相反，所有的事都往最好的方向想。
我像兔子一样害羞，你像狮子一样威风。为什么狮子会愿意做兔子的要朋友呢？
请你走慢一点，我快跟不上了。
如果别人都不停下来，我怎么可能跟得上呢？
我讨厌说再见，我假装无所谓，其实心里好难过。
大人都以为我们的伤痛转眼就消失，大人都以为我们笑了就代表忘了，真有那么简单就好了。。。
以前我以为，那些带给别人欢笑的人，从来不会有哀伤。现在我才知道，有些人在最难过的时候还是会努力带给别人快乐。
风还是一样地吹。花还是一样地开。太阳还是一样地升起。可是有些事情已经变得不一样了。
真希望无忧无虑的日子能永远停留。真希望烦恼难过的事能永远离去。
有时候真想躲进一个没有人找得到的角落。我害怕一个人长大，长大以后就永远回不来了。
This is the beautiful ending of the story:
我终于完成我们的约定，
我知道，
你变成了风，你变成了云；
你变成了星星，你变成了光；
你变成了我最强的力量，最美好的想念。
谢谢你，还一直陪在我身边。

Level Test 3
Well this series of 9 tests was pretty... bad. I didn't perform anywhere close to my usual standards... and I wonder what's wrong with me...
English: 13/20; Considering my English teacher wasn't much of a help, it wasn't that bad.
Oh yeah. There's a passage about a city girl moving on to the country side during her youth. You're supposed to type in different words to describe her during those paragraphs. Para 1-2: She was literally lost in the bushes. My answer was "loss", my teacher said the answer is "scared". His reasoning was that besides loss, she felt a greater, deeper emotion, which is fear. Fine argument accepted.
The next Para 3 is where she makes her way to her new house. My answer was "scared", his answer was "confused". My reasoning was that yes she felt confused, but according to your logic above saying you have to infer a deeper meaning, then the answer should be 'scared". He couldn't answer me and said our class was a pain to teach. Of course, when teachers don't make sense.
E Math: 19/20; My usual standards... I don't blame myself for losing that mark though. I didn't read the question properly haha.
A Math: 17/20; Now I blame myself. I managed to write b^2 into b^3 and bye bye 3 marks.
Chinese: ?/50. This was terribly horrible. It was 22, but my teacher said after remarking there's a possibility of adding 3 marks. BUT until now she doesn't want to tell us our marks. I thought the most retarded thing was putting 40% of the paper for a 10 question 选词填充, where I totally died. The compre was just weird on its own too. You basically have to infer all the questions. "Why did the author say this?". I'm not the author how the heck would I know.
Biology: 60%. Not that good... But I'm starting to lose interest in Biology. I find it really interesting honestly, I just don't like my teacher. Okay it's purely cause of the teacher. She has this infailable logic about Biology. She tells us "Design an experiment to..." As long as your experiment isn't what is stated in the textbook, it's wrong. My daring friend went to carry out his own experiment and got scolded by her. His experiment did get results. It's still wrong. Why? Because she says so. How ironic for a school for future innovators... What's wrong to challenge the assumption? You dare say that experiment is flawless? I'll prove you wrong. Just watch me.
Chemistry: 28.5/45, 63%. This came as a total disappointment. My Chemistry was constantly A1 for all tests this year. I seriously just knew the answer. I just, for some weird reason, didn't write it down at the correct blanks. My paper had annotations like "This answer should be written here" and stuff like that. Chemistry just... completely disappointed me. I like the teacher though, really good and patient teacher.
There's something really bad too. There's this particular person in my class who's good at Chemistry and was "disappointed" for not being able to beat this other person who got 93%. I don't mind if she complains "Oh! I got this question wrong! How careless was I!" and "YES I got this question right!"after the lesson. By then the papers were kept and I couldn't do anything bout the marks anymore. While the teacher was going through the paper, where I was trying to see where I went wrong, she just had to shout "Ahh I read the question wrong at this question!", "I got the mark for this question!". Please, I don't care how much you get. Please exercise self awareness. You're making a fool of yourself in class.
Physics: 30/45. Physics is now extremely hard for me... I just seem to... not understand it. The irony of being in the physics talent development group... I'm trying my best. I'm sorry for disappointing you...
Social Studies: 23/25. It came as a total surprise. Top in level. 2 others got the same marks as me, and another was sitting right behind me. Hi-five. SS isn't that hard honestly... Especially when the answers for inferences are at the contextual knowledge haha. I really don't know why I can't seem to score for History. It's just content difference. My History Mid-Years was C5. The difference.
Biotech: I have no idea how much I got. But the paper totally stunned me. Dude I don't remember what's the shape of E.coli nor if it is Gram +ve or -ve... I just closed my eyes, calmed myself down, and had the image of bacteria in my mind haha. The last 6 marks question totally killed me. Well it's already done and all I can hope is for the best. Meh.
You know what's great? Next wednesday starts the next round of 8 tests. Yay.
