Day 1: January 1, 2012
Same Foot
New Years suppose to be a chance to start afresh, but so far, I’m still the same messy person. My desk is a monster and I doubt it’s going to change anytime soon.
It’s a holiday so I’m lazing around the house, editing pictures with PhotoShop.
Day 2: January 2, 2012
All Night Long
I know these first two days haven’t exactly been good pictures, but they pretty much sum up my life as my Winter Break draws to a close. Once I actually start getting out of my house, then I’ll start trying for a “good” picture.
It was taken at 7:45.
There’s a perfectly good reason why I didn’t sleep. I’m forcibly resetting my sleep pattern. I’m been going to bed for the past two weeks around 2-4 am and for the past week, waking up past noon. I would not have been able to fall asleep at an earlier time because my whole day had shifted.
By not sleeping at all, I become so tired that I will be able to go to sleep virtually any time. So I will be going to bed around 8 or 9 pm tonight in order to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow morning.
Winter break is over, that means no more getting up at 2 in the afternoon. The proof is in the pudding when I was standing at my bus stop before the sun has even risen. Okay, truth is I take a 7:30 bus, so it’s not ridiculously early…
But if I’m complaining now, just wait a month; I have block 0 in the next semester. I have to leave my house at 6! I don’t know how I’ll learn anything that early in the morning.
What I’m most looking forward to is the off block that comes with having class at an ungodly hour. It’s connected to my lunch block so that’s a two hour nap in the middle of everyday. 😛

The Max
This is my friend Max, modelling his very awesome shirt.
Day 5: January 5, 2012
Mob Scene
This morning was the signup day for our English commentaries. The signup sheet was suppose to go up at 8, so I showed up at 7:45. There was no one at the cafeteria table where the usual group hung out so I thought no one was there yet. I decided to go wait for the signup at 7:55.
There was already a line for the signup going halfway down the hallway.
Ms. K told us we were a lot more civil than the grade 12’s in signing up for their TOK presentations.
I had to signup Lina as well because she was sick that day, so I was checking to see if someone took the spots I wanted constantly.
In the end I got the day and time I wanted; during exam week and around 11 am.
The only thing I’m kind of regretting is not having a day off to prepare first, but it doesn’t really make a big difference.
Day 6: January 6, 2012
Check in
Sharon and me waiting outside the principal’s office waiting to check in with her for our weekly peer tutoring check in. I was suppose to be in a class (after school) and she was in a meeting, so I couldn’t wait any more. I had to leave and I’ll have to check in with her on Monday.
I also really need to talk to her about the problems I’m having in my peer tutoring class. The group of people I’m working with just won’t read. I’m peer tutoring English 10, so in order for me to help them, it’s essential that they actually read the text. That’s the only way I can help them. I can explain things they don’t understand if they actually ask, but I can’t explain everything that happened to them.
Right now what they’re trying to do is answer the questions without reading the text by searching for key words that are in the questions. Which does work because we’re doing a novel study and when I tell them they have to expand their answer from what is in the text, they have no idea how because they haven’t actually read and understood the text.
Day 7: January 7, 2012
Pomelo
This is me wearing a pomelo hat, which I’m sure was a lot cuter when I was a kid. This pretty much summarized my day, I did so much nothing that I ended up amusing myself by making this hat out of the pomelo skin I took the pomelo I was eating.
Day 8: January 8, 2012
Late Start
This is my usual wake up time on a day off. My mum came in screaming that it was already 3 in the afternoon. I got up had lunch, did nothing until it was actually 3 in the afternoon, then I went back to sleep again until 5.
