It is a wonder how I can screw up so many times in a single day. In all fairness, I have to declare today as the last day of school. True enough we would actually have to come back for like 2 weeks after the PW week is over, but we had a two hour "civics finale", as Mr. Lim referred it to as, followed by subject feedback. Finale and feedback? If this is not considered the last day of school, I do not know what is.
Well, the finale consisted of two activities. The first involves answering 12 questions about what we learnt and plan to do. Come to think of it, it is actually just 11 questions that help us reflect and be insightful, plus one question about who we care most about. If you are going to spend your final week with the people you love, will you not be reminded about what you are going to lose? Perhaps spending time with people who make you feel like killing yourself would help make the process so much easier. Then came the sharing of the answers. Everyone had standard answers, with the exception of Mr. Ma who talked about spending time with God a week before he dies. The day I understand how he thinks is the day everyone decides to give me a dollar each. Or the day he actually tries to explain how he thinks to me. Whichever comes first.
The second activity required everyone to write notes for everyone else. This works by having people pass their paper clockwise, and when you receive the paper from the person on your left, you would write something good about that person and pass it on. This is a really smart method as it showcases inefficiency. Slowly but surely, there would be a couple of laggers that choke the whole cycle. This also enables everyone else to read the notes that you have written. Damn, why did I not remember that. At the very least, this activity enable me to appreciate my classmates much more, and feel appreciated by them too.
My day was followed by a few more uninteresting events, such as a sudden realization, being 4 hours late, a little bit of PW coupled with a hell load of inefficiency, the losing of my house keys which finally led to me being stuck outside my own house. Until 10PM. Good thing I only came home at 9:45, or I am in for a wait longer than what I put Kenneth through. Sorry again dude.
