Study Crisis

Guys! (refferring to my schoolmates) If you're reading this... Let's make a study group together okay? Really need all the help I can get.

Currently there's only two of us. Me and my study partner Yenni. I've asked three other people to join, they said yes but no actions (unfortunately). So, I guess I'll have to encourage everyone.

Actually, this study group might be better to be called homework group. 'cause we finish homeworks rather than stusy other things (this happens because there's a lot of HOMEWORK)

So be sure to contact me, and we'll make a study group schedule...

Okay everyone, thanks for the co-operation

What Do You Expect

You know... Ever since I got to be a new student at SMAK 7

I think I've lost the meaning of eat lunch when reccess comes...

I'm busy all the time I guess, busy doing what you ask?

I'm busy chasing over the teachers and ask this and that (s). I'm pitying myself at the moment...

I have business with teachers that are related to IAYP program, I'm currently confused with the activities that I must do. You see, when you join IAYP you can pick 2 extracurricular activity...

Well, in my case I've picked tennis table and magazine online. I picked table tennis because that I have to. For the physical recreation in the IAYP program, remmember?

The other one is because of my own personal interest in web design, and there's might be a chance that I could help out with my chruch's web page, so...

But then, suddenly they said (teachers) that there's gonna be a test to eliminate those who doesn't have what it takes to live on and pick the best out of the trash. And then the best's skill will be polished until it shines the word SMAK 7. ->know what I mean?(Dramatic? I know)...

Well, here's the thing. I don't really have any experience in tabble tennis, so I'm kinda worried. Then I asked my teacher, he said there's a high probability that the girls who picked tennis table for their extracurricular activity won't be tested, considering the quantity of having girls in the activity is really...REALLY low, where as the boys...There's like mountains of 'em entered table tennis. And so only the boys will be tested...

But I think that's ridiculous, I mean you don't test 'em 'cause of their being low in quantity?! That's just out of the ordinary!! I'm confused. Well, my solution for myself is:

I'll ask my dad to teach me how to play tabble tennis. (He plays with my church's pastor-> whew) I know, kinda weird... But that's my life. My dad likes playing tabble tennis and tennis. He usually plays tennis with our neighbours. I've never played tennis before in my life, so I kinda have the urge to try...

when I got the time....

Anyway, there's school. Mountanious homeworks to do, quizes, diary (a must at my school), and tests. Just like an ordinary school... With a math teacher that continuously will give us a hundred number of math questions... And will have a plus if you didn't finish the last one...

Creepy? I know, that's my school.

See yaa!! Thee Hee 

P.S: That's a picture of my best friend Valerie a.k.a Valie wearing our school's complete uniform

CUTE HUH?

Hello!

Sorry for the long....long absence

Guess what I'm a new student in SMAK 7 BPK PENABUR! An I.T based school.

And whoa! Don't they know how to give homeworks??? 

I have 100 questions for Math! I thought, I would go crazy, but you know...

Practice makes perfect

That will be my motivation for the next THREE YEARS...

Well, before we "embark on a new journey" all the new students have to attend MOS "masa orientasi siswa".

We had a blast! Though my group's leader (a senior) is kinda~ tense... hhe. All the groups have a certain name which related to I.T.

Group 1-7 are all named after computer viruses,

Group 8-14 are all named after computer antiviruses.

Mine's group 7 -> Hoaxes.... Well I've never heard of that virus before....oh well.

I'm gonna be back, though not so many times... Seeing that there are so many homework to do.
