Today's DSTA assessment was highly unconventional and unexpected. i was expecting an interview or maybe an IQ test, but what actually happened was far more interesting than that. i don't think i'm allowed to reveal much about it since there are candidates who still haven't been assessed, so all i'll say is "RPG" :D it may sound weird to you if you haven't experienced it first-hand, but even if the application doesn't go through, i still think it was the most unique (dare i say fun?) scholarship assessment i've ever been to. and DSTA's supposed to be the boring one?
After a week of wondering why everyone else is doing their testimonial while we haven't even caught wind of it, we suddenly have the weekend to write a testimonial. i thought that the SGC was already blowing your own trumpet, but the testimonial blows that clean out of the water. oh well, i just have thicken my skin over the weekend and get over it.
i feel lethargic, all the time. even today, when i woke up at 10.30am because i was going to the assessment instead of school, i still end up feeling like my body is made of lead by 10pm. maybe it's because the entire assessment lasted for 4 hours without any interval. maybe i should have drank more free coffee and tea from the refreshments area. maybe i need to have a regular caffeine intake. i guess independence from commercially available stimulants is just another thing i have to give up for the sake of the A levels.
Next week will be the last week of school.
A month and a day later will be the A levels.
The hands reach out to claim me
Those wretched hands of the clock
