A Refreshing June Holidays

The start of the extremely hectic and unsurprisingly uneventful holidays commenced rather blandly today. Just the thought of the first of 30 days of unleashed fury had put me off as soon as I had gotten up from bed (from a refreshing 14-hour long slumber).

Needless to say, the teachers had released a mountain of homework upon us which even a truckload of geniuses could never aspire to complete, not to mention a single one. (ha. ha. ha) But thus are the complications and obstacles a student would naturally face. I guess one would just have to pull through with gritted teeth and a charming smile.

Indeed, it had been a term full of activities which never failed to provide students with less-than-4-hours-of-sleep-a-day. Still, everyone pulled through, despite sustaining horrible injuries like a panda's eye and the like.

Inevitably, we have to start work. The holidays were never meant for any student to slack off, turn on his PC for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Instead, it was meant for those who needed catching up to catch up, those who needed sleep to sleep, and those who needed to prepare for the next semester to prepare. A tad obvious now, that we have got so many things to do; so little time.

A not-so-brief account of what we have to produce for the teachers during the holidays would tell you more:

1 Social Documentary
2 Chinese Project on Chinese Medicine
3 Math Project on Applications of Differentiation
4 Physics Project on the Magship
5 Literature Humour Anthology
6 Literature CRP
7 Literature Term Paper on The Importance Of Being Earnest
8 English Book Club
9 Philosophy Project on Political Theories of State Governance
10 Music Elective Programme Concert Report

Think of 10 as a perfect number? Think again. Following the above list of Projects only, I lead you to the list of Homework:

1 Chinese: 17 Cloze Passages
2 Chinese: 2 Mock Papers
3 Chinese: 1-3 Ying Yong Wen(s)
4 Chinese: 1 Zuo Wen
5 Chinese File Check (meaning corrections)
6 Biology Worksheets: Economic Botany
7 Biology Worksheets: Stem Cell Research
8 Physics Worksheets: Ex 20.1 Practical Electricity
9 Maths: Differentiated Assigment on Application of Differentiation
10 Maths: Supplementary Worksheet: Trigonometry
11 Maths: Supplementary Worksheet: Differentiation
12 Maths: Supplementary Worksheet: Applications of Differentation
13 Social Studies: Practice Essay on Active Citizenry
14 Piano: Exam's nearing so have to spend around 4/5 hours a day practising

Well well well. What a lengthy list!

Good Luck.
