Heh so Victor slipped away from his high standards? How COULD he...
I'm sure the short stories aren't that hard though. Support your BS-ed theme/blah with quotes and voila, you pass.
But I guess it's the kind of things that either you get it or you don't.
New boarders? Yes I've heard about them (not from you). Don't know much though, but apparently aren't too good.
Math is always easy for me. I can sleep through all classes and get close to perfect. It's not like I'm learning anything new.
Even Math 12 is nothing new really; you slowly learn everything over time, and when you get in, you already know it all.
As for here... there aren't really much going on though.
English is definitely different - nothing could beat Ms. Fraser's rants. I actually somehow miss those. Here it just simply expects you to know everything. But then we are reading "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" again in 2nd term. There are also some random useless grammar practices - I'm sure I don't need that, but if it gets me more marks, then why not?
Science: chem 10 is simple, really.
Socials - like we never really learn anything in class and are supposed to learn everything ourselves from the textbook, and random quizzes pop up where the teacher never talked about the material. There are also annoying long historical documents and essays to read. It's easy though, just do the work and 100% comes.
Math... it's easy. However, the math teachers here are either incompetent or hostile to me. The ones that are nice, can't do anything. The ones that are good (ie BC calc teacher) refuses to answer or give advice on my questions, like I'm intruding their life or something.
I'm also taking Japanese, which is really easy, since you practically learn nothing. I'm taking AP Computer Science. It's easy for me anyways. And at last there is PE. It's easier to get marks though, or as far as I can tell.
There is also other annoyances around here.
The desk in my boarding room, for example, is so small that you can't put anything else beside a desk lamp and a laptop.
The laundry service is awful - some commercial place that produces weird-smelling clothes - and you don't have access to laundry machines inside the house, and worst of all, it takes 2-3 days. They also hire cleaning staff to wash your bed sheets and clean your room for you. Sounds a lot like baby-sitting. Even then my roommate's stuff generates smell (or his armpit stench when he comes back from whatever sports he was doing) and I end up having to deal with it.
For prep, there aren't any libraries or computer labs to go to - you have to stay in your room working on that minuscule desk with a bunch of people distracting you, say from next door. AND we have house meetings every single day, wasting our time. The house parents are not as nice, don't care about anything, and ruthlessly screw people around.
The people here... *sigh* too many Chinese around. The house is full of them - rich Chinese kids - some of them are nice, but some of them racist towards Taiwanese. In whatever situation, I refuse to allow erosion of my nationality. Plus I hate Beijing accent. There is also some annoying white kids.
As a result of all these, I go home every weekend. Guess what? Nobody is every at home either. It's a hassle. And to conserve my financial budget, I cook every single meal. I also do all my laundry as I've always done before. PLUS I have home management responsibilities.
The school building is also convoluted as well. They try to cram everything - gym, swimming pool, 30 or so classrooms, office, cafeteria - into a single place. As a result, it's a great maze that is time consuming to move around, especially if your locker is on one end and the cafeteria is on the other. Also you have to wear blazers 3 days a week and have stupid long assemblies.
That's enough complaining. There is plenty more problems around, plus that it's a school full of boys and only boys.
I guess it's training. Every time I get used to one place, I am pulled out and unwillingly switched into another. Since the start of the year, almost every plan has been failing, despite giving 2x necessary time. I just want to rest and not having to be forced to do A, B, C, D, E, and get frustrated when failing to have enough motivation to do them. THIS challenge is the ONLY advantage I could think of for moving to St. George's, which otherwise is a totally useless, time-wasting decision (btw, previous family conditions don't apply - they've changed).

加拿大 - 有蚊子 !
繼承去年去山上小溪 ( Cowichan River) 划船 ( 小黑蚊 60+ 包 )
今年回花蓮快健 ( 小黑蚊 60 + 包 )
現在的學校
草原上怎麼有那麼多「大」蚊子阿
才不到一個小時
就被叮了 10 包了 > <
原來，加拿大那麼都市的地方也是有成群結隊的蚊子 !

" 阿 ! 那個金帥飯店要倒了 ! "
" 好耶好耶，大家一起來倒數 "
" 五、四、三、二、一 "
" 哇 ~ 帥喔 "
殊不知他們阻礙道路，讓救災耽誤了...
-------------------------------------------------------
剛剛看了新聞心裡有不少感受。
各地方變成水都，土石流竄，有點嚇人。
連大愛台的新聞主播都講到哭了。
雖然從小就看慣那種畫面，
只是，
以前都有點幸災樂禍，
看到橋斷的那一刻很開心，
看到災民哭的場景會忍不住的笑。
現在總覺得很慚愧；
不知道為什麼我會禁不住那種幸災樂禍的笑。
是事情永遠不會發生在我身上的觀念嗎 ?
還是天真的以為我能夠堅強去當第一者面對而不會哭?
很多事情都是碰到了才發覺自己多麼地無能。
真希望以後可以以更成熟的角度來面對事情。
只是，我也擔心我會不會就這樣變得太嚴肅 ?
畢竟生活是要快樂的而不是嚴肅的...
現在覺得好希望能當志工去協助救災，
畢竟身在慈濟家庭卻無能為力 ...
那麼多人動員了，
我們卻還在家裡無所事事，
整天吵雞毛小事
( 也沒有吵太久啦，只是意見不合就禁不住大小聲一兩句 )
( 脾氣真的要控制 )
唉 ...
" 好耶好耶，大家一起來倒數 "
" 五、四、三、二、一 "
" 哇 ~ 帥喔 "

快健 2009
07/14 回精舍的那天 ...
德悅師父：聽說你電腦很強 ? 台灣素食營養學會的網站是你做的 ?
我 ：還好吧，網站確實是我做的。
師父：像你這種人才一定要來營隊幫忙。
我 ：我 ? 營隊 ?
師父：就是快樂健康營阿，看你要參加幾梯，我先去問一下暘師父。
我 ：...
十分鐘後
師父：我已經拜託暘師父幫你插隊進去了，這可是難得的機會喔
師父：所以答應我在這裡學習之後要去廈門或是回加拿大帶營隊喔
我 ：讓我想想好了
師父：什麼想想，我看今天就不要回台北了，留下來好了
我 ：我還是回去拿行李和問媽媽一下吧
師父：好，要快去快回喔，最好明天就來 !
我 ：...
----------------------------------------------------------------
這是第一次。好久沒有參與慈濟的團體了。
我總是覺得有那種奇妙的感覺 - 是每個人表現出來的向心力和意志力嗎?
來快健有那種不同的快樂 - 讓人好想一直留在那裏 ...
以前都是孤立奮戰，都沒有人能真的 push 我。
在快健...
我來快健是值得了。
好想念那裏的人喔
希望以後可以繼續回來精進 ( 雖然有這個想法是很恐怖的 ... )
also hope to write more.
