School started at 9 today, but the damned jam wouldn't let me reach on time to meet the rest at 8:45. I wouldn't say I felt exceptionally good this morning, just a little groggy and angsty all thanks to the jam. The morning had started off on no particular good or bad note. I board the bus, found a seat, sat down, listened to music while travelling to school on the people infested bus.
Today, was boring.
After finally entering the Auditorium and settling myself down, we soon started with the Project Work talk which was amazingly amusing and refreshing. The teachers were nice enough to not bore us with slides of words and the session ended quickly. Then, we had this survey which had the word 'exam' popping up right in front of me whether I wanted it to or not. The questions were repetitive, annoying and had nothing to do with profiling, because they had called it a profiling test. Following, we had a 45 minute break and I spent a good time chatting about anime and manga with people before the talk with the principal started.Or rather, deputy principal. The seniors from HC Jam came up to the podium first, introducing the Talentime in Hwa Chong and obviously, was trying to get us to join. And there I was sulking away, thinking, "Take this to somwhere else, for I have nothing to show off or any talent that you're searching for in particular". And then, they went on and on about showcasing talents and minute by minute, the more useless I felt. Finally, the principal, I mean deputy principal came up. I had expected yet another boring talk like all talks with principals are, but I have taken a liking to her just because of this talk. I like how her speech makes sense and goes straight to the point without beating about the bush. In the middle of the thought, she touched on topics that I was rather sensitive towards and to be very honest, I was on the verge of tearing, but I realised, if she had to bring this up, I can't be the only one experiencing the 'I'm-useless' syndrome. I'm pretty sure that there are other people like me, who have not found things that they are good at, or simply can't get themselves to feel good about themselves. The talk ended on a light note and we were dismissed.
We made our way to the high school section to hand in some stuff before heading to the canteen for lunch. Then, for some queer reason, it struck us that the food there didn't seem so appealing any longer, so we headed back to the college canteen for some food to chill our growling stomachs down. We were wondering if we should go to the Jurong library, or Nanyang, but when we finally walked all the way to the bus stop, we decided to just head back home instead.
I have no idea why this post was written in such a style. Pardon me.
