This is what happens when you sit in the lab waiting for a graph to be generated, carbon nanotubes to coat onto the electrode, electrodes to finish sonicating just so that you can sonicate them again but in ethanol, or because your partner is using the only computer with internet to play bejewelled when you want to send an important email.
Another super hectic day gone by. Going to ntu for lab sessions seems to mess up the rest of my day, while I sit inside for hours, I'm hardly doing anything except waiting, but when lab is finally over I find myself scurrying everywhere. It's like the vacuum pump which sucks in and collects air before blowing you away..just that the vacuum pump in the lab wasn't working so we had to spend more time looking for a new one.
The cab ride home took 1 hour and cost 27 dollars. I was in a taxi that smelt of body odour. It didn't help that almost every single road leading up to macritchie was jammed..and there I was thinking that taking the cab would allow me to get home in time.
Lesson today was..interesting, a small kid peed on the floor in the hall..apparently he was too afraid to ask if he could go to the toilet. And I confirmed my suspiscion about someone in the class being from my batch when he came up to me and said, "were you dancing that day?" my hopes of going to tournament seem quite bleak since I'm missing grading..I'll have to keep doubling all the way if I want to make it, which is almost impossible. And I'm getting more and more rusty gah.
Just read the first part of choo's dedication to our class..somehow I never knew that he felt so strongly for our class, I never knew that anyone would feel so strongly for our class. I will honestly say that I don't know every single person well, but I can also honestly say that I can at least talk to every single person in this class, which wasn't the case for sec 1 and 2. I remember that my relationship with 1e/2e was quite terrible, partially my fault but also because of reasons that will make me seem quite..thick skinned if I mention them so I shall just keep them to myself. But then again, I'm reminded of the other day at orchard, when I saw some ex 1e/2e peeps who actually called me to say hi when they spotted me, people that I could never actually get along with back then. I know that I pretty much sacrificed my relationship with 1e/2e peeps for my part, maybe I didn't really know how to balance back then, I don't regret doing that, but of course I regret making so many unnecessary enemies.
Anyway, back to 4s4, 4s4 is really a brilliant bunch. I remember how our class was like blacklisted by almost every single teacher for being very noisy/uncooperative and everything. But despite all that, we always ranked at one of the top in terms of results. Academics aside, despite the distinct cliques in our class, everyone can still get together if need be. Though it's quite sad that I got to know quite a few of them better only towards the end or even after school has ended. Haha, but I guess the one thing I regret the most is not having done more for the class as the class rep, besides the admin stuff of course.
Classes in jc will be totally different..apart from the girls, no class will ever be the same. As much as I cherish this class, there's no doubt that we'll all be going our separate ways. I just hope that just like the p760s from 601, at least a bunch of us will still keep together, even if we're not put together by the school.
