New GP teacher

School resumes. I felt it more strongly today cus in place of Commons, we had *GASP* lessons! Off to a great start by paying attention during Chem lecture and things gradually went down hill after Maths Lecture (I forgot my notes, so read my fantasy book :)). The rest of the lessons were mostly uneventful save for GP where we finally caught a glimpse of our GP teacher. A nice enough quirky fellow it would appear, maybe its a trademark of all philosophy teachers (I KNEW it does things to your mind). Prone to histronics and amusing monolouges, which is a good sign as it would bode more GP lessons that I DO pay attention in. Mr Lee is more serious than Mr Khoo when it comes to discipline, and has a stickler for respect for the speaker. So goodbye to all those side comments, eating in class, listening to mp3 and other little misdemeanours that Mr Khoo has so tolerantly condoned all this while. We're all gonna have an interesting time for the next 1 and a half years I daresay...
Fencing brought a shock when Henry said that the school had passed a rule ending all CCA trainings from next week onwards on the pretext of giving us more time to study. It is utterly nonsensical and completely ridiculous! The J2s had few problems coping with their CCA despite the promos and technically, since our syllabus is cut, we should have even less stress then they did! I shall have to content myself with the fact that the school works in mysterious ways unbeknowest to us all -_-. Had PT and was rather tired out by the first half an hour or so. Reuben came late and we all voted unanimously for him to do lunges for a minute and a half. Misery does love company :)! We did circular blade whacking drills for the next hour or so and resulted in some of us getting blisters. (ouch! :( ) I will be savouring the next training since it will possibly be one of the only few where most of us will be present, training TOGETHER. It's gonna be harder to foster the spirit of co-operation and camaraderie with people attending trainings in dribs and drabs due to H3 and various other commitments... Sigh, the halcyon days are already fast fading into the dust...
