Had lit makeup with Ms Kon this afternoon. Doubtlessly another traumatic and agonising 2 periods i must say. Her classes are just so...Stressful. Sigh. Studying Gothic just becomes so vexing and even though its a really cool topic, its so difficult to enjoy it. Lit doesnt seem to be about free expression anymore, instead, its just like...Science! (.....) There's now a "right" and "wrong" and you get an intimidating stare for every word that is supposedly "not right". Geez how ironic.

O well, at least Ms Lam's and Mr Young's classes arent that bad. Contributing crap in Rossetti/PC class is fun, and sleeping+stoning in Silas Marner's period makes us all feel so 'at ease' (pardon the pun!). Haha.

But anyway, our fates are all sealed cos the Gothic prelim paper is "brilliant" according to Ms Kon. Bleah. I really dont get the rationale behind the 'prelim paper theory'. I mean, what's the point of setting a ruthless paper if you already know that we're all not going to get it?! Pure satisfaction? Sadistic torture? In the end, the scoldings and yellings will still prevail. Might as well just save your own breath and our time. Demoralising students seriously isnt the right nor best approach. Or at least, do it in a more subtle way! Sigh.

Do forgive my criticisms, i just love to lament especially at a time like this. But i have to confess that this is indeed an effective outlet to prevent myself from expiring since i do foresee myself subjected to mental/psychological decay in the near future.
