I feel like a loser, we got back Physics SPA today, and I epic failed it. Seems like this year my SPAs all are damned lousy. I got 14/20, which is really really really bad, given that most of the people got 16,17 and 18, and I full well know that my physics is better than theirs, even though I'm confused, they are more confused. And that's after they go for tuition. Probably going to have another of these 'I'm better than them, but they go for tution therefore they do better" bouts of annoyance soon enough, with specific reference to the chem exam >_< It's not that I didn't expect this grade, but I thought the worst case scenario was a 15. I managed to accurately point out all the mistakes that I had made in the paper, just that I left out a few that everyone else also got wrong, so i didn't even know that I was wrong. So yeah. I feel like a freaking failure ._. Not the best of times to feel like one with the chem and geog exam on friday. BUT I'll pick myself up. And I know it.
Funny things today. SY took GT's pens again, she always does that, GT is like some pen provider, because she has this whole array of pretty pens, and we all, ahem, take advantage of it. So SY picked out a pastel purple and pastel pink pen (totally unlike SY because she doesn't look like this sort of person, but she springs surprises on us alot of the time, so yeah xD) and she went "I steal pens. Pens become mine" In a super kiddish pouty voice. It was hilarious, though it was in geog class and we were trying not to burst out laughing. Then during last block, we were all sitting around and slacking during c.l.e and I was trying to drown my sorrows in Math homework, yes I know, the other option was to letter, which GT kindly offered me a piece of paper to do lettering on. SY said that I would not be in a mood to letter, actually, she was wrong, i just lettered very cursive letters and outlined in a very messy manner, and it turned out quite nice actually, barring the fact that I was doing it on the back of a consent form :P Then I started on integration using substituion, and I kept comparing answers with SY (who had already done some of it, so she was way ahead of me. In our advanced math class, SY is one of the smart ones in Math, especially with regards to open ended questions. Which basically makes SY very good at math.) But she got stuck on the last asterisk-ed question, which was about secant, and she tried and tried, and couldn't figure out a good way to express the secant in tan/sec or sin/cos. Then she went up to RL (who's also really good at math) and whined pitifully "I can't get it! Ohh! Help me!" As if she was some damsel in distress, again it was hilarious, because she's usually not like that. More like she's usually scolding me for my inability to do the questions, she'd be like "xueling! You should know how to do this what, It's so obvious. I donk your head lah!" And take my word for it, she is in no way like a damsel in distress. I'm probably the one whining more, and then she'd get annoyed with me.
In the train back home (after i had drowned my sorrows in lunch) I was standing against one of the side panels in the train. There was a guy standing near a pole, rubbing his tummy continuously, it was as if he was pregnant of something, the way he was rubbing his paunch. Haha.
At one station, an elderly uncle came in, and a young man got up, gestured to the seat and moved away, without any pomp whatsoever. So the uncle smiled and sat down. Next to me stood an older elderly uncle, and so there was a girl who hesitated a little while, and got up from her seat (probably motivated by the guy's action) and came over to the older uncle. She tapped his shoulder, "Uncle, there's a seat there." But by the time she got to the word seat, another woman appeared out of nowhere and snapped the seat up. The girl looked quite embarrased, and then hesistated for a little while, "You can get a seat, I'll tell her" The uncle shook his head and told her not to bother, leaving her looking rather annoyed at the seat stealer woman.Then the tummy rubbing guy next to her was obviously quite impressed by her kind gesture and looked at her for a while before asking "Are you local?", to which the answer was positive. Clearly the tummy rubbing guy did notice her (failed) kind gesture, though no fault of hers. I was listening to this through my noise cancelling earphone, so she couldn't have been all too soft. I would be annoyed if i was about to give up my seat and have someone else less worthy steal it. So she stuck her hands deep into her jean pocket and looked down. I turned to glance at the old man, and realised that he had both hands on the pole, meaning that he was more unstable/weak than I had imagined him to be. Bad me, so i shamefully scooted from the side panel and moved to the opposite side of the train carriage. He took my spot, leaving me to wonder if I had been a tad too slow in realising it ._. The girl and the tummy rubbing guy did look at me (approvingly) when i moved to my new spot. Well then a few stops later, someone got up and the older uncle finally managed to get the seat.
