No compass, no map

CTs are officially over :D H3 math went as well as could be expected; i was more than prepared to skip tons of questions anyway. but really, it was better than i expected (here's some math for you, better =/= good...), and i think it's primarily due to fact that it was an A level paper and not an NJC paper (here's the epic thing, they literally just stapled an NJC cover page onto an A level question booklet and passed it of as our CT). i think i have a chance to pass! *crosses fingers*

after the test i met mr chow for a while to have a very brief run-through of chinese oral, and i have to admit that i've seriously deproved. i must say that the chinese gears are more or less rusted stuck, and i'm not sure if they'll be fixed by next tuesday. oh well, just hope for the best i guess. in any case by the end of the month i will be chinese-free (for sure this time) :D

a bit random here, but i'm looking forward to all the upcoming career talks to get my bearings in life. i haven't thought much about what i want to do after A levels; in primary school and the first half of secondary school they basically chose our subjects for us, but increasingly we as students have been able to decide more and more of our future in terms of what subjects we choose to study. and of course academics and career-wise, the ultimate decision will be in which university course and industry we eventually choose to enter. after that there's really no more turning back; you could technically go back to university and attend another course to change jobs, but it's far from a fuss-free transition. when it comes to this fork in the road, the stakes are just far too high to decide on a coin toss. bleah, i hate making difficult life-altering decisions, but this one just can't be dodged.

class dinner later tonight! :D
