A punch to the head

spiderpigI don't even know how to say how depressed I am. But why should the news come as a disappointment? It's really so wrong of it not to happen. I can only just try my best to forget about it. I'm speechless. I'm whining, and I'm just really downright sad.Why is the world doing this to me? Do you hate me so much, world?
Sigh.
Yeah, so today we had our first taste (at least for the second intakers) of what the lectures were like in CJC. We had all three subjects that most of us were taking today. All my sentences sound wrong. Well anyway, the lectures we had today were of Economics, History and Literature.
The Economics lecture was a total disaster. No one really wanted to pay attention to the teacher (Mrs Kuah, I think) at all. She just went through the course contents and scarred all our wallets with the expensive subcription rates for the required Economic texts. Notes are already $11, the assessment book is $10, the magazine subscriptions add up to around $130... Studying is hell expensive.
History was much, much better. The lecturer, of whose name I can't spell, is really passionate about the topic and also really fervernt in her dislike for caucasians. Snicker. She's a no-nonsense type, but she's funny and dramatic at the right times too. I'm going to either enjoy the subject under her or just suffer really badly. I hope it's the former. >__> I like history. She kept on emphasising how A Level History is not easy at all and that I have loads to catch up with. Oh dear.
OH EM GEE. The Literature lecturer for Brave New World (one of the six text's we're studying), Dr Fahy, is a GOD. I swear, I've never ever met as great a lecturer as he. He's witty, satirical, well-read... He obviously knows what he's talking about and even though he speaks to us in that condescending manner, I just can't help be respect him a lot. He is that good. Like WOAH. And he actually makes me feel relatively smart, whilst he made many of my classmates feel stupid. Harhar. His subtitle 'O Brave New World!' stood out to me. It was familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it. Later he mentioned that that line was from The Tempest. :o Enlightenment. I remember writing down "satirical!" on my notebook after hearing his description about Huxley. Note, I haven't read the book before, though I've heard of it. Five minutes later he mentioned how BNW was a huge satire. HOHO. I felt clever. X3
So really, I can't wait to go for History and Literature lectures. I feel so bloody studious! And with me not taking any Math (AO or A) or AO Chinese, I just have 4 subjects to really work hard on. The fourth being the General Paper. Economics is like... not really impressionable on me at the moment, but I'll judge it when the teacher actually starts teaching.
I spent my lunch break with my classmates. I think Gloria, Celeste, Michelle, Esther and probably Tyla were there. It was really funny? We were telling Gloria about Louis taking off his shirt in Sentosa (PHOAR!! HOT BOD!) and his lack of any muscles there and when Gloria was saying, "Louis' body is really good, just that he doesn't have any muscles there..." He like, walked past our table, right behind me. So naturally we all started laughing when he said 'hi' to us. Which made him go, "What are you all laughing about?"
Gloria: Speak of the devil!
Michelle: Oh my god, hahaha, he's here.
I just repeated whatever they said.
Louis: What are you all laughing at?!
Us: You?
Louis: Why! Are you talking bad about me?!
Us: HAHAHA YEAH.
Then he started going "What were you talking about what were you talking about!!" and he was bumping his hands against my head. :( I feel short. But it was funny.
'slike apparently, I didn't get accepted into Art, prolly because I have no background it in. I'm alright with it because the other subjects will probably kill me. :\ However, Esther was like, "I waaaaaaaaant to take art. I waaaaaaaant to take aaaaaartt." Basically she annoyed me. So I suggested that if she was so affected by it, why don't she (that sounded grammatically wrong) go ask the teacher whether we still need to bring our portfolios tomorrow. After we were released from our last lecture, while I was talking on the phone, the teacher-in-charge walked past and I was pointing at him, signalling to Esther to GO SEE HIM AND ASK BECAUSE I WAS ON THE PHONE but she was like. ugh. She didn't do it. When I finally got off the phone, he was almost at the staff room and I was like, "omgwtfbbw Esther quick!!!" Since she was nearer and what the heck, we needed to ask him. He went in. And she was so fucking indecisive. So I had to rush off and I told her to message me about the outcome. Around 4 hours later, she's like, "oh there isn't enough space in the class".
wtfomgbbq? 'slike, I don't care. I'm just gonna drag my A3 file to school tomorrow on the pretense that I'm bringing it to show Wanjing WHO IS BACK FROM ENGLAND, just in case there was a mix-up and I actually needed to bring it. I mean, hello, I actually have a portfolio (a lousy one, but at least I have one), while this whiny girl is like "oh no I don't have one what can I do why do you have one?!" :\
Okay. Enough bitchin'. I want to go to sleep. I'm depressed and I hope I'll have some horrible nightmare to chase the dread away.
Sigh.
