Work, work, work.

I realized that I have a lot of things so worry about.

Firstly, it was so stupid of me to forget to collect from Mrs. Hammond the three English texts that we have to do for our coursework next term. I was so ecstatic to go home last last Thursday that I totally forgot to meet her at the end of school day to get the textbooks from her. The big problem is that when I go back to Singapore, I have to read all of those three texts FAST. Really fast. And I don’t think I would be able to efficiently do that, knowing that there are loads of work awaiting for me, especially that stupid challenge week thing and TOK presentation that I have to do.

Secondly, I have to finish up my English presentation by the end of this holiday. I can’t seem to find that motivation to start mulling over it, considering that I have to re-read “This Earth of Mankind” over and over again to jump start my presentation work. I also have my Economics commentary collecting dust with the other homeworks I brought back home.

Thirdly, my French. I have told myself that I am going to do intensive studying for French, but it seems that my mind, body, and soul are in full holiday mode, I can’t even afford listening to French news or music over the radio for a few minutes. Monsieur Heusdens was even asking me to e-mail him about my future plans in his French classes, because he thinks I am ‘good enough’ and should be doing more work during his classes. Well I honestly think I still suck at French.

Fourthly, Mr. Rainone. I have a strange feeling that he has a very very very bad impression of me now. I don’t know why, but I really don’t think he likes me because number one, I failed his Maths test so miserably, and number two, I failed to submit that Probability and Statistics homework which I was supposed to submit through Quang. I totally forgot to give it to Quang before I left Singapore. Now the question paper is a three-hour flight away from me, and I don’t know what to do about.

Fifthly, the Challenge Week. I am pretty scared about the way things are going about for my group’s Challenge Week. There has been ZERO progress so far, and I am scared that my group might actually run out of plane seats to Miri for September, or might fail to book hotel reservations, or fail to find any suitable and available charitable society that we can visit and provide assistance when we get there. At the first place, we haven’t even planned anything at all, aside from that dummy proposal I made overnight which we needed to show Mr. Wong the next day to, at least, show him that we aare doing ’something’ for the Chellenge Week plan.

Sixthly, my first Economics portfolio is due on August. On the same month will I be having my first TOK presentation. And all of them are assessed for the final IB grade.

The amount of workload has been increasing exponentially. This is insane.

I’m a workaholic. But as they say, anything in excess is never good.
