"Twitch"

I am trapped in the common test 2, eight down, and two to go...

Everyday this week seemed to follow the same routine, that is, the common test routine: getting up early in the morning, dressing and washing with self-encouragement, eating very little for breakfast as part of weight-losing scheme, marching to the school along the beautiful lane with a Chem text or Bio text or A-Maths text or E-Maths text or SS text or Hist text or whatever, and hoping earnestly to have more time to do the last-minute revision. After the "honing" at the parade square, we are immersed into the solemn national anthem and school song, and then I grab up the whatever text to read and absorb and digest during the "attire check period", desperately dreaming to memorise something of use. Then is the marching up to the fourth floor, finding a nice place to thump your school bag and scooping out everything you need: calculator, curve ruler, long ruler, refill of pens, "reserve" of highlighter, "reserve" of correction tape and "reserve" of brain cells in case they cannot function properly...

1.5h of torture or 2.0h of ordeal...

Rushing up, speeding up and accelerating to the maximum velocity to finish every paper and do the check-up, during which I can feel obviously that my blood pressure falls drastically and the "snooze on" function of the brain is working very well. Oblivious of the results and not wanting to be conscious of them, people merrily switch into their usual mode and everything is fine then...

That "mode" is changed soon when we reach home. What follows are hours of insane studying ("mugging"). Yet I always have to force myself to go to bed by 11:30. As for actually going to sleep, it is another kind of story...

Wake up the next day again, and dress and wash with self-encouragement...

Now I am embracing my first weekend after the four days of CT Routine. However, the Chinese Literature makes it doomed that these days will not be easy. Physics may not be too big a problem but the tons and tons of CL are more than enough to drive me nuts...

MY MOST BELOVED PERSON IS LEAVING TOMORROW!

All the best for your long journey, and take my best wishes with you.
