夢の調べ．霊魂の音

So.... This is the last seveal ten minutes of my Christmas Holiday.

I guess this is the first Christmas Holiday that I don't need to prepare for a near exam

but still, we all need to prepare for an exam which will start not longer than 3 months from now.

And for the sake of this, I think this was the most "busy" Christmas I ever have... If the term "busy" depends on school-related work.

Why I say so - because I did 5 years of pastpaper which I think is quite a lot (for me, at least..)

One year of them can spend you a whole day... This is not I expected actually.

"Whole day", I mean from 8:00am to about 9:00 p.m.

First, the paper itself has 6 hours time limit, so you spend at least 6 hours.

Second, because this time limit is not set, you use more time to think about difficult questions.

Then, you also need to mark it yourself. This spends much more time then I expected, because I also need to think for a long time usually because I do not understand the model answer.

After that I also need to jot notes down. Both on what I learnt and what are the questions left.

And finally I need to rearrange the notes and organise them, some of them to a document I saved on my computer; some of them to the notes (notes - I mean those "textbooks" here.)

Moreover I need to ask teachers about the questions and new notes will be made...

Nevertheless, I did it this way for 2.5 years only. The remaining 2.5 years I skipped all "blue pen" jobs and do part of the "red pen" jobs only.

(That is, I do the paper in my mind only, and look at the marking scheme. I only jot notes and questions.)

This saved more than half of the time.

Frankly.... I only finished 4.5 years.

The remaining 0.5 years (2006' Chemistry Paper 2) I was not able to finish...... Because I spend a lot of time playing today XD"

I found it is very easy to play Sora no Kiseki Stealthily... Without letting my mum or dad know.

So I actually finished FC today....^^" (Which I planned to play it again after ALE....)

Nevertheless.... This is one of the most meaningful holiday I ever had,

I did a satisfactory amount of school(exam) related work,

I physically meet Akari and went to his home,

I went to Arick's home and had a great afternoon and night,

I know new friends via Arick, Terry and Akari,

I had enough spirital flourishing via playing Sora no Kiseki......

To conclude, I am charged up during this holiday.

Challenges are coming...

It's really time to run.
