Monday 6 December, 2010

almost there...

JUST 4 MORE DAYS TILL MY MUSIC EXAM (gasp!)...

...and thus today, I took advantage of the half-day and studied for 3 hours!!!

Anyways...

Today, I had a swim meet in school and thus I missed the whole morning except fifteen minutes of ICS...
I competed in 100m freestyle and 100m breaststroke (obviously lost in both races), but my times weren't that bad...(1:44 for breaststroke and 1:30 for freestyle). Anyways, the meet was fun (even though our medley team lost to the girls...pretty sad).

In ICS, Mr. Arkin returned. Yay!!! He taught the rest of the class how to use for and decreasing, two new keywords, for our Substrings Assignments. I already learned about for and when I got home today, I substitued the first Substring Question with for and understood how to use it. Decreasing is used to display the range of for in a descending order, so decreasing was useful for Substrings Assignment Question 2. I modified Question 9 to include all consonants in just two minutes! Basically, I grouped all the similar consonants together (in other words, all the consonants that are preceded by consonants, all the consonants that are preceded by vowels, and the letter "z", which is special). I ended up using case (like before) with 3 labels. I'm not sure if there's an easier way to do so, but I think that the efficiency of my method will suffice...

Right now, my head is killing me!!! All the studying that I spent today on Carmen, Symphony No. 5 in C Minor op. 67, and Messiah has had an ill effect on my brain. Like Mr. Arkin said, I'm cramming everything into my head, although with History 3, it's impossible to be fully prepared because the exam will be on anything in a 500 page textbook!!!

On top of that, I have a possible ICS Quiz and Test this week and I'm not sure of the date, although I'm pretty sure that we'll have it tomorrow...

Oh yeah...

Today, after we were dismissed from school, me, along with 2 other friends, went back to our old school to say hello to our teachers. In fact, we bought them doughnuts too!!! We spent about an hour at our old school and thus I got home at 2:20 feeling very sick and under the weather!!!

Right now, I still have another essay to write for English! Luckily, it only has to be 750 words long and I already completed the introduction :)

Lots of work to finish, lots of things to study, lots of tests coming up, lots of sleep that'll be needed tonight, and lots of luck that I can continue like this for 4 MORE YEARS!!!(YEAH BABY!!!):)

That's all for today...
