Hello~
I realized that I haven't been blogging regularly,
other than the lack of time,
the motivation to blog isn't there either.
So school started on the 11th,
and my IB diploma life has officially started.
To be honest, the workload is super.
And not in a good way.
Haha, I can't complain though,
because IB was what I had chosen.
The humongous workload was expected when I made that choice.
All in all,
although I spend a lot of time on school work these days,
I still enjoy going to school. ^^
I must say, some of my classes are interesting,
especially the ones that I have not taken before in SSIS,
such as Theory of Knowledge and Economics.
This year in Spanish class,
my classmates aren't the same people who I had with in the past two years.
We're combining classes with people who had studied Spanish for three years.
My first thought was Oh My God...how am I ever going to catch up?
Plus, I realized that the atmosphere is different this year..
I hope that I will grow to like this class soon.
Theory of Knowledge,
for those who doesn't know what this class is,
it's kinda like a philosophy class,
but the main theme is:
How do we know what we know?
How do you know what going on now is true?
How do you know that this isn't an illusion?
Because you see, hear, smell, and feel it?
But how do you know your senses are true?
If you watched Inception,
maybe you know what I mean. ^^
I'm a person who doesn't really like change,
unless the change is really good and beneficial.
So, when I walked into my Math class this year,
it was the class that I felt most at ease and comfortable,
it was as if the summer didn't existed, haha.
This is of course due to my Math teacher,
who I've had him two years,
and I'm gonna have him for the next two years!
Hahaha~
To be honest,
I think he is going to be the teacher that I have for the longest in my life.
^^
One thing I realized in the class is that
all my fellow students are from Algebra 2,
but that doesn't really give me a privilege
because they are all those kind of "Math people".
And I'm not T.T
I envy them so much.
But that's not a bad thing either actually,
because I thought when Tuna was leaving,
I'm gonna be doomed in Math class,
but now with all these smart people,
I can ask them for help!
hahahaha
English so far has been the class which I received the most homework,
but don't misunderstand,
I still like English.
It may not be a "fun" class,
but it always feels good to really understand a book that I read.
Surprisingly,
I enjoy myself quite a bit in Economics class.
In my opinion,
Economics is a bit like logic,
you have to think about what is the cause and consequences,
but of course,
this is just the beginning of the course,
it may turn difficult as we progress,
who knows?
It's quite different to focus on section than study Science as a general,
which was something that I've been doing all my life.
This year,
I've chosen Chemistry as the Science that I want to study,
we've not really gone into the Chemistry part,
now is more of the basic Science stuff,
like dimensional analysis and significant figures.
老实说，我不是很喜欢我的班。>.<
Music is very different from my previous music classes.
This year is more...professional? I should say.
We are learning Music vocabulary,
orchestral instruments,
and later will delve into Music history (I think).
In addition,
one of our IB external assessments is that
I'm going to have a 15 minutes solo performance in April (Oh my god!!!),
I have to select 4 pieces of music and my performance will be recorded.
After that,
the recording will be sent somewhere for IB examiners to assess my performance
o.O Scary, huh?
I've already chosen two pieces of music for my performance,
and here they are:
Mozart's Piano Sonata K.332 in F major
Chopin's Nocturne Op.55 No.1
This is the version with string instruments,
but I'm playing solo, of course.
School so far has been really exhausting,
and my life isn't relaxing at all.
I'm always happy that the weekend is here,
because I finally get to rest.
But that's life, right?
In between the routine,
you find little excitements here and there to spark up your life,
and that's where relationships such as friends or families (and bf/gf) step in.
