The term so far......

Well, so some of the term had passed by in a flash.

I had poor time management, very few time to do my homework, packed schedule everyday. Sigh...... Welcome to Secondary 2, Zhang Aolun.

Secondary two was harder than i expected. I initially thought not so much of struggling through secondary two as i pretty much glided through sec 1 smoothly. Secondary two was an eye opener for me, as i spent most of the time in secondary 1 at home playing computer games and not put in that much effort in school work. Well, lets just say that its quite the opposite in secondary two. Nowadays, I do not even have time to spend quality times with my family. Just the first week of the term had me going through much administrative stuff, syllabus introduction, whatsoever. I was struggling to handle everything. I was being forced into competitions. It was an all new experience for me and to be honest, i was glad that i was able to represent my school to go for competitions. It was a chance, a golden opportunity that i could not get in my secondary 1 life. Well, i guess things are different nowadays. CCA matters were also rampant as we were ordered to come back to school on saturdays for rehearsals. All in all, it was not exactly what i would call a relaxing school experience.

Just when i thought things were going to get easier, lessons began. I had different experiences for different subjects and was quite surprised to say the subjects were totally different, new, and of course hard as compared to last year. LA was cool. Lessons were enriching and interesting. I liked how the teacher teached us with examples, interesting facts, broad knowledge, and humor. Math was somewhat the same as last year as the teacher's teaching style was same as last year's teacher. And for me, being somewhat good at maths, the subject was a piece of cake. The only teacher that was the same teacher as last year was our chinese teacher, so i'm not surprised when her expectations for our class were exceptionally high. Science was a blast. I was stunned to find that i could not understand most of what our science teacher was saying. l was terrified that i could not ace my science tests well as usually as she drone on about the subject, i could not comprehend much of her teaching. Well, i guess that is what would happen if you are in a future school class. I need to revise my science harder now. Well, as for humanities, it was a tough nut to break. I did quite badly for humanities in secondary one, but the topics in secondary two left me spinning around in confusion. *SIGH*

So, secondary two had just begun and i am already distraught by the difficult subjects and how am i gonig to survive the year. Oh well, time to buckle up, and in the upcoming exams i will be firing all cylinders. No more facebook, no more games, no more slacking.

CSE, here i come!

WELCOME!

Hi everyone.

This is Aolun.

This blog is specially made for my Language Arts studies and i would appreciate it if you all could refrain from using profanities on my blog. This is my second year at blogging and i really hope that everyone could spend some time to give their valuable suggestions about my blog. Constructive criticism is welcomed so i could enhance the layout, font, content, etc. of my blog. I am considered a beginner at blogging but i would try my best to listen to your views/ thoughts/ ideas on my posts so i could improve. I would try to increase my length of each post and i would make sure that every post is at least 300 words long. I would certainly not be using any short forms / abbreviations on this blog as I am sure my english teacher would not tolerate that. I hope you do too.

Now, for the content of my blog. I am well sure that you might be curious about the content / plot/ whatsoever of my blog. When I was in secondary one, basically, my focus was on some interesting questions, mostly philosophy questions. I am not a person who likes to blog about newspaper articles but i am willing to change that this year and include a couple of current affairs news in my blog. I also likes football, and I am a supporter of Manchester united. If my LA teacher allows, i may blog about topics relevant to soccer's statistics and stuff. I am also an animal enthusiast. I love biology, especially animals and had read tons of encyclopaedia on animals. So expect to see some posts regarding to the animal world. And that is that.

Now, if you please, take your time to read through my posts and please please please comment. I cannot stress that fact enough. Criticism is also welcome.

And that is that.
