Here We Go

This is now to be a REAL blog. Not some place to spout intellectual gibberish - pretend to - but somewhere for me to do my bitching.

Let's start with Ng Cheuk Ho. With a blog address reading acsianblood and with a caption along the lines of "ACS Forever" I cannot help but cringe at the crippling irony. Since when was being an ACSian about making more grammatical errors than sense? Not a good place for me to have visited on the eve of my IOC, no doubt.

Speaking of IOC I cannot believe the amount of effort I have put into preparing for that. Sometimes I wonder why I spent all that time writing page after page of my own notes when photocopied versions of last year's students' notes were readily available. Especially since I will nevertheless be caught out and stumped if a Soyinka poem were to appear from those magical brown envelopes.

I see the weeks ahead being devoured by activities I have been numbed into disliking through one monotonous year and more-than-a-half. I need to get my UCAS application done, including the 4000-character challenge of a personal statement I have been mulling over for a good long time. I need to get that darned GDC repaired. But most of all, MOST OF ALL, did someone say prelims?

I'm thinking of meeting up to study with people, which is surprising since I've always championed studying alone as the most effective and efficient method to aceing any examinations. It is even more surprising because I hate having people leech off me!

I'm interested to see how long I can keep this habit up of actually having a conventional blog. I never thought I'd have time for it! IOC now.
