SCHOOL JUST STARTED! Zdbskdjhvbdksfjvhbsfdkhdnbcsjh

Hahahahahaha. Okay so first day of school was pretty fun; we went on a ropes course and hike in the Basel countryside. Great weather, plus 31 new students in my grade so I have to learn everyone's names again.

I can't believe it; all the Singaporeans in my grade and school are leaving!! Except for my sis. Well, the new Singaporean girl is heading back to Singapore since her dad has been posted suddenly to hongkong and she doesn't seem to like the international school environment sadly. Oh well. The half Singaporean half Swedish guy is off to London, not that I'm very close to him but he is in most of my subject classes so I thought of pinching some knowledge from him haha. Another half Singaporean half austrian girl is off to hk in november too. :(

So I thought I'd be the only east Asian person in my grade. But no, there's a new guy from China and another Chinese guy from America. The China Chinese guy speaks damn fast in Mandarin omg. I managed haha, not having spoken Mandarin for like 2 years? Ah well some smart people now in my grade ><

Anyway, I haven't had all my classes yet, but so far I know who all my teachers are. Eng Lang and lit HL seems to be s terrible class because all the rowdy boys are there. :/ the teacher seems nice but people say she doesn't teach very well. :S don't know if I should change to Eng lit HL or not, because my English actually sucks. And my dad doesn't allow me to take any English course at SL.

1st French lesson with mother tongue speakers was manageable. We were discussing the difference between the word 'langue' and 'langage', which both mean language in English but slightly different in French. 'langue' is the language someone communicates in, but 'langage' is the author's style in a poem or prose. :P don't know about the writing/speaking yet, but the course seems rather hard.

Maths sounds freaking difficult. Like a pile of syllabus outline papers on the first lesson... :/
ToK was interesting, ;) some song twisted backwards and there are satanic lyrics. Haha. :P
Chemistry - there's much work to be done.
Haven't had Biology or Economics yet.
Oh and i can't believe there's only 45 minutes of PE every 6 days. Eewww I'll grow fat wth. Need to do after school sports.
Already getting CAS hours, so I'm happy!

A few more days of the summer hols and I'll be in grade 11 officially! Kind of sad the hols are ending, but then again, I haven't seen my friends from school for so long, so that's something to look forward to. I heard this year in my grade, we will be having 30 newcomers! Record man! Ooh I'll have fun meeting so many new people. So far, I've met one girl from Australia alr. :)

So 1st day of school will be our orientation trip to seilpark balmberg, which is a ropes course. Should be fun; I've done one of this kind in Singapore. ;)

So... I think I've completed my holiday homework? Except for French, the instructions given were kind of vague. Like 'read quality newspapers about current events and make an overview with themes' -.- I just split into politics, economy, social, sport... I guess that's okay. I should get on reading more French newspapers (and not just headlines only)... :/

Hmm I'm kind of excited for the IB but slightly anxious too. Don't know what's gonna happen in the future. I think too much sometimes. :s

Oh yeah we'll be getting our MYP results soon! Start of September I think. Wish me luck haha! Hopefully I get a good score. I'm hoping at least 60 out of 63. Sigh, full score will be impossible because I sucked for PE and English. English hates me. Grrrr. My dad wasn't very happy. :( anyway, I went over to Martina's house to work on our first draft of our speech for the MYP graduation ceremony. 7mins so far. We can increase it to over 10mins I think. We need more jokes, more explicit descriptions, more detail. I'm bad at thinking of jokes but well, she can do that better haha I will trust her. :)

Hmm. Tuesday will be my last day of school hols. Meeting up with the blue girls for dinner in town! I was in 10Blue. ;) I think we should be staying in the same classes, but don't know, might change since we have 30 newcomers. :P

Hopefully the school year gets more interesting this year. I just realized, I am finally in JC. Ahahahaha.

NATIONAL DAY. But it doesn't feel anything different or more festive here, just that tonight I'm going over to some Singaporean family's house for a small party. Hmm.

Cold and windy now. Not summery at all. Currently listening to Mr Simple by Super Junior. Actually not really listening, but watching them dance haha. Their boy band is a bit too big. Like Miss A with 4 girls it's good. >< Why are Koreans and Japanese so good-looking... A Japanese woman I met last week thought my sis and I were Jap too! HAHA we took it as a compliment. :D

Holidays are ending in 2 weeks and I still have work to do. :( Procrastinating much.
