i thank God for the holidays
i thank God for my food
i thank God we didn't get reports
cause if we did i'm screwed

holidays are here. after eleven weeks of waking up early every weekday, eleven weeks of sitting through crappy lessons about contextuality [a word which, by the way, doesn't even exist], eleven weeks of only having 40 MINUTES to eat my lunch... and now, i can eat as slow and as much as i want, WITHOUT THE SIREN RINGING HALFWAY.

well, for the next two weeks, anyway.

thank God for that. know what else i thank God for? the fact that we don't get reports at the end of each term. sure, we get semester reports [those are unavoidable], but no term reports. some people really look forward to getting reports, cause they wanna know how they did in all their subjects and blablabla... and they wanna read other people's report to see how they measure up. i, personally, don't give a shit.

cause this is probably what my report would look like:

something like it, anyway. cause nowadays, they got fancy terms to describe you and you have no idea what they're on about. honestly, how many people know the EXACT definition of conscientious, and dude, the word

acceptable can be used to describe like, 90% of the kids at our school.

but the teacher comments are what gets me. they don't usually do it in print, but they say things during parent interview night. i can guess what my teachers are gonna say about me... so can sarah, seeing as she's in so many of my classes.

talking about kim...
the maths teacher: she usually appears to be sleeping. hardly see her working, she's always staring off into space. a bit of a poohead, i think.
the photog teacher: can anyone get her to stop bugging me?
the multimedia teacher: she's so violent!! i always see her hitting the boys, or strangling some other kid.
the chinese teacher: she doesn't improve. she's been at the same level for a while. more than two years, in fact.
the PE teacher: her efforts are... commendable... her skills require... a bit of work. just a little bit. maybe a bit more. err... have you considered intensive sport classes?
the english teacher: who?
the science teacher: yawns too much. drinks too much water. doesn't care about her work. never tries. noisy during experiments. exploits dayyan. makes trouble. lacks zeal and motivation. slouches, head on table. stops working in the middle of tests. SOMETIMES I JUST WANNA SMACK HER. but other than that, she's all good.

good thing the reports don't come out till end of semester. and then i'll go off to church camp, and i'll feel all good about myself again.

saw a toddler at work today. really cute.
U.F.: she used to be a baby, you know.
kim: *thinks* wow, no shit.
