Today, I had a pretty average day. By that, I mean to say that I experienced some arguably good events, and some arguably bad events, and they more or less averaged out to make the day not particularly good or bad.
The Chinese Exam was difficult, but it was at the expected level of difficulty and thus I did not lose too much hair trying to do it. Overall I feel I did not make any obvious stupid mistakes (which I always feel like after any exam, until one of my fellow classmates tells me otherwise) but paper checking is next week, so we will have to see then.
As I boarded the bus to go home, I remarked upon the fact that this bus I was taking would drop me off furthest from my home. You see, no buses from the school go directly to my home, probably more a case of negligence than misfortune, but instead there are three buses that have three different stops that are around 10-15 minutes walking distance from my house, which isn't that bad once you get used to it.
The problem is that today, the sky was dark and gloomy. As I dropped off the bus and began my long walk home, it began to rain. And oh, rain it did. This morning I left my umbrella in my bag, which was fortunate. I must thank my laziness over not bothering to take it out to make my bag lighter.
Afterwards the rain lightened up, to the point where I could more or less hear the individual raindrops hitting the dirt by my feet. Just as this very thought passed through my head, the sky above thundered. It was like someone up there was watching me and saying, "I'm watching you" in that overused fashion ever since the 'Meet the Parents' movie.
When I stepped into my house, my helper grinned in a slightly nasty way and went, "I thought you didn't bring the umbrella". Did she envision me coming home with my hair sopping wet, my shoes and socks drenched, the bottom of my pants strewn with bits of debris and my face in a grimace that declared war upon anyone that looked at it? Wait, no, I just envisioned that.
In other news, tomorrow is the last day of exams! Yes! Haha! It's also Maths Paper Two, which is probably the paper that requires the most brain use and preparation, especially memorising all those annoying stupid idiotic yet incredibly helpful further trigonometric formulae.
Wish me luck.
Yours Sincerely,
Jeremy
