( in no order of importance)
- File my ELL notes (this, I predict, will take a considerable amount of time. Considering that I have notes all the way from last year. If I even want to consider doing remotely well in ELL, I better start quickly. )
- Study for the Geog test coming up next Tuesday. ( You CANNOT afford to disappoint Miss Hang again. Or Mr Low. They've done so much for you, the least you can do is to work your best.)
- Practise math questions. ( Well, this, I attribute not so much to my math tutor in school but to my tuition teacher. It's hard earned money each lesson. Don't waste it. )
- Get help for GP. How? By reattempting sections of the compre paper you KNOW you shouldn't be losing marks in, ie. The summary. As for the essay, well that, you can use the formula that's been given to you.
-DO NOT BE AFFECTED BY SML'S YOWLING. This is exceptionally important. SML will continue to yell even closer to the As, and the last thing you need is a mental breakdown, especially when there's going to be less of a moral support and cheering up. You've got to learn to cheer yourself up.
- Balance your time. I don't think this needs further elaboration.
- Continue to be happy and cheerful even after the 1st week of September. Yes it's going to be hard. Yes you're gonna feel lethargic and miss. Thing is, 1. The camp is still in Singapore, on the main island, 2. 1 text/call a day, or even less than that, is perfectly fine for so little time. 3. There's so much trust that you know it's gonna be okay. A true friendship is when 2 people don't text/call each other everyday, and yet still know that their friendship is still as strong as ever, and still know better than to question that friendship.
- Be there as a rubber mat; bounces off, and yet absorbs the bouncing. ( analogy)
In fact I think when it comes to my mental health, the last 2 are the most important and most precious to me. The things that keep me the happiest I've ever been, as well as keeping me sane.
Oh and a side note; Remember what Deborah, Courtney, Nat and Vi said to you in break today. " Ju, I think you're the most hardworking of all of us. In fact, I think when it comes to content, you know way more than all of us here because you actually mug. The problem is the extraction of this information and slotting them into the right places. Because Ju, you're most certainly not lacking in brains, and neither are you lacking in vocabulary. You have an impressive vocab and all you need to do is to make use of it. Extract it the right way. Put the big concepts into a mindmap. And you'll get there. We have faith in you. If you need help or are unsure of whether you're on the right track, come to us. We're here for you. Nat and Courtney want to help you. Because unlike the other insolent ones in class, you're trying. And honestly, you have the right attitude Ju. Even the effort is there. We can all see it. And again, you're trying. That's admirable. And that's the most important thing of all."
I can safely say I've never been more touched by what my classmates have said to me all my 2 years of life. I actually have a renewed sense of hope now.
