14 September 2012:
I forgot to bring my bio textbook home.
I planned so much to study bio during the weekend so that I would be very prepared for it on Monday. I even told CW that studying 23 chapters over 2 days instead of a few hours (at night) was much better.I think many people were pleased that bio is on a Monday, so that the weekend can be used. After all, this is the last exam that needs to be 'studied'; there is nothing much to study for paper 1s.
Then me the idiot forgot to retrieve my bio textbook. I remember for history and physics but not for bio. I wonder if it was because my daily schedule was disrupted today. Normally I would head to the library and study. Before leaving, I would see my classroom and go take my textbook from inside.
Today I went with LJ to the concourse instead. We went there cos I had milo and it couldn't be brought in. I almost never bought milo. Yet today I suggested it out of the blue. What a cruel twist of fate this is.
I only remembered when I returned home. I saw the pile of textbooks and thought about it. I was very panicky after that. Even my notes are in school.
At home I only have two guidebooks, which are not very concise. The nearest other resource I have is the internet but then again I may not know what exactly is needed.
Ultimately I have no one to blame except myself. I am to blame for buying the milo out of impulse (which led to my forgetting to take the textbook) and for failing to check properly before I left school.
I feel very lost now. Even though bio is my best science, how am I to do well without the resources?

Today's commentary in Straits Times talked about hotlines between countries. Which was what I wrote in my essay. I wonder whether Mr T would read that commentary and find it coincidental.

I rather like philosophy. It calls for a sharp critique of tough questions: what is real? How do we know we exist? No wonder there's a saying that philosophers are 痟 (hokkien for crazy): whole day spent thinking 'absurd' questions.
Sociology, philosophy, Chinese, forensics ... I like these a lot but eventually one would be No. 1 and the rest, sideliners. Which shall it be?
TTFN.
