Thursdays are fuuun :)

YAY! I ran for the FIRST time to Macritchie today. I did 4 km with juns and zhen he. Who cares if we walked most of it...at least i did it! But i think zhen he did way more cos he doubled back haha. I feel so fit and healthy now! AND i didn't have any dessert today :) (HAH juns!)

You know i just realised that my classes are kind of kindergarten-ish in a way? Okay today for biology, we used plasticine (in other words - play dough) to mould cells. Then for English, we acted out a play. For chinese on tuesday, all we had to do was cut out "cool" things from magazines and stick them on a poster. Honestly, it's quite fun but i really
don't see how they help us learn better. I think i'd learn more in less time by reading the textbook. But i don't mind these lessons because it gives me more time to talk in class haha.

Newspaper today was so dull. We had to listen to some talk on layouts and i started to get REALLY restless. I'm not even doing the layout design, i'm writing! I don't have to learn how to design newsletters! Juns is quitting the newspaper now because she says the topics we're writing about are boring. I suppose she has a point (we can't review as many tv shows and books as we would like to) but i like writing too much to quit. We have to write about school news and really, if it's just updates on whats going on in school, how interesting can it be? Wouldn't you rather read what students think about lessons in sjii or the not so tasty canteen food?
