今天是exam review day, 拿到成绩以后觉得好象要做点什么事情来纪念一下. Gr.12的一半就这样过去了. 所以呢, the easiest way of "doing something to remember this day" is to write a new entry for my "long time no use" blog.

 

上个学期, 本来有3个math, 一个Gr.12 phy,还有一个Gr.11 eng. 一共5 门课. 但是一个term下来, 发现如果继续这样忙下去肯定busted. 除了data的分还能见人以为,别的都很烂..... data分可以见人是因为老师白给2分free mark...........calc奇低啊....midterm前就2个考试,一个考了70多,一个是80多.......so busted.........Geomtry 就更无语了, 那个night skl在好远好远的地方, 做车要1.5 hr. 而且midterm才只有90.....Phy就更别提了, KU 还满简单, 但是ms. lew的communication question把我弄死了, 每次MC就刚刚pass或者60%. 难怪midterm那么低. GR.11 ENG没什么可说的, pass万岁!! I got 74 for midterm, to my standard, that's good!! 最后在midterm report card发下来后的第5天, 本人做出来了一个很英明的决定. 就是drop phy~~  Glad I did~~

 

然后还有一个要烦的事就是toefl. 对某些同胞们来说, toefl这个万恶的东西有多白痴我就不用再重复了. 虽然我根本没花什么时间在toefl上, (I meant　to.........)但是心里还是压着什么东西的感觉. 一月13号那天,再次来到了熟悉的考场, 又是4个小时........不是到是怎么活过来的. 阅读不夸张哦, 真的跟天书一样, 所有的都跟history, architecture, astronomy, geography 之类的东西有关, SO NONSENSE!! 但是还是熬过来了, 最后居然有28/30, 真是没想到. 口语是第2无语的, 一个正常人怎么会喜欢没事闲的对着microphone讲自己的most memorable event in the childhood. SO BS!   哎....希望需要考toefl的同学们早日脱离苦海.

 

要烦的事当然不止一件, GR.12 ENG怎么办? 当然不能在学校上了, 如果在学校上的话, 也就是个6,70s.....所以去private skl is a good option. 当然了, private skl registration也不是一帆风顺的, 刚开始是想去shirley去过的那个学校,可以那里不让我去因为I haven't finished gr. 11.  然后我就在电话里跟他们磨了半天, 最终他们同意让我去only if my counselor could sign a form. 然后我就去找mr. Takada, 他刚要帮我签的时候呢, 就pop出一句"Just wait one sec, I need to ask Mr. Bugden about it. " 我当时就有种不好的预感, 然后, oh 天啊, 他回来以后就死活不肯给我签.......当然我没有那么容易就give up, 我又去磨Mr. Bugden, 可是这个老不死的死活都不改口........哎...那天真是想杀人了, 上个private skl还这么难, McDonald这么做business早晚倒闭!!   最后, maybe it's because of my determination or my luck, and thx to Eline, I went to the one near Fairview, and it's cheaper too, lol.

 

oh well. toefl和gr.12 eng 的问题解决以后, 事情就简单多了. Second term 我的data可真是slack off啊, statistics unit的pop quiz有好几个都不及格(一共也没几个)......本来以为pop quiz不worth a lot, 最后的presentation好好做就可以了, 但是天啊.....这个想法是很错误的, pop quiz worth的比presentation还多. 最后data居然才.....晕啊...........是谁跟我说的for data, final肯定比midterm高, 我drop了3 percent!!!! 不过还好老师是havaris, she usually adds 2 marks to everyone, I hope it happens this time.........

 

For my screwed up calc, it turned out to be not that bad afterall. Thx to shirley, she made me think it's still possible to get above 90 after screwing up a big test really badly. And thanx dian dian for making me feel really bad about calc the whole time, lol, j/k. 

 

Geometry turned out the best it can be, seriously. Thx to my geometry teacher, he's a really nice guy, but I still can't say his name. -_-'', because of him, I kinda get what 3-D geometry looks like, I think I'm better at visualizing things than before. And I just love his policy: u get perfect for the exam, then u get 99% for the course. Yes, I did get perfect, wow lucky me, never did any work in class, how better can it be!!!

 

In conclusion, I'm done with high school math with an average of 93.3 percent. Gr. 12 English is in process, I think the teacher likes me, so the mark wouldn't be bad. Toefl is done forever ever ever with a mark of 109, it's good enough for me to get into any university. This semester, I have Economics, Chem, Phy, and business leadership. Hope to get good marks in them, should be easy.

 

YES, university!!!! here I come!!!!!!!!!!!
