How time flies. Two terms have passed. Despite the apprehensiveness of coming to a new school, with it is the excitement of making new friends, new teachers, and the hectic secondary school lifestyle.
My first day in school was quite unsucessful. When I reached the clock tower, I felt lost; none of my primary school friends were from my consortium. The only two people I knew were in Aphelion. However, I felt welcome, when the band played music to welcome us into the school, and the seniors smiled warmly at us. Later, we started introducing ourselves to the various subject teachers, and after school we had the CCA orientation. I recall how desperate i was when I could not find the classroom after i had my lunch. After searching for nearly twenty minutes, it finally occured to me to check the top floor. And true enough, I found my classroom. I still remember how relieved I felt when I found my classroom.
Anyway, it took me nearly three days before I finally found a good friend. I suppose that is irrelevant, so now i will be moving on to the later part of the term.
I suspect that I was over-confident for my term 1 tests, because at the end of the term, when I received my results, I realised how badly i had done. Though I was not the last in class, I was not too far from there. Still, I felt that the teachers had taught us well, and adequately prepared us for the tests. Coupled with some serious studying, anyone could have easily scored several A1s.
During the march holidays -- we went for the annual secondary 1 camp. It was quite enriching, relatively fun, and it allowed me to spend time with my friends -- interacting and getting to know them better. Overall, i enjoyed the secondary 1 camp.
As I moved into the next term, I enjoyed school life better. I made more and more friends, and soon, I even enjoyed coming to school. Term 2 passed quickly, and now, there is only one week left to the june holidays. Our class has organised some class outings, and I look forward to the holidays, to max out my ace and have fun with my friends.
I also need to pull up my grades desperately for next term, and hence I have decided to do assesments weekly, finish up my homework quickly, and get tuition for mathematics and geography, my two weakest subjects.
