Today I took the bus home alone for the first time in a long while. Normally I would find company but today I decided not to waste time. It was a very good opportunity to start my soul-search mode once again, when I sort of talk to myself inside my head (it's weird but hey sometimes it helps okay. Acts like an advisor from your inner self).
So I was thinking about O levels again and the whole studying thing as well as choice of jc. I realized that the little choice and sacrifices we make these 3 months is going to affect my entire life. It's like a major cross junction, just with many more possible routes. I want to go to ac because I really can't bear the thought of hanging out with nsks at ngee ann. Then not really other JCs because half the people there, I probably wouldn't know, and god knows which schools the girls will come from. Then ac? Either barker, or else acsi. Primary school friends, people I've pretty much spent my life thus far with. Girls? Magnesium Sulfide. Great! Set. I finally get to hang around with the people I want to be with, and I HAVE A CHOICE THIS TIME, all in this 3 months.
It's 12.5 weeks to O levels. 88 days, less than 3 months. Prelims are in 2 weeks. That important benchmark which will tell you if you can make it, or can't. 2 weeks to study for prelims. Then, prelims take 3 weeks. 7.5 weeks left for studying for O levels. I have 6 studiable subjects(English and Chinese are out), so that is roughly over 1 week to master each subject for an A1. The time to study is NOW. Not too early, nor is it too late. Just nice.
The steps to it? First, I thought about all my distractions (superseries style). On the way home, there's kap. So I'll avoid that. I can go there everyday after 13 nov. This way, I'll reach home faster. Then when I reach home at 3.30, many many many distractions. Major distractions: 1. comfortable sofa + newspapers. 2. Ronald lee. Method: go home, straight into room. Take out planned study materials, shower. Bring planned study materials with me, go to dining table to have lunch. End at 4.00. Banned from sofa, I'm not allowed to sit on it for 3 months after lunch, straight into the study room, door closed. Fan/air con on( depends on weather), time to study. It's 4-7.30. Dinner till 8.30, study till 11. Prepare for bed and sleep. Thats about 6 hours of study a day. Even if I start my afternoon study session a little later because of bus delay, it's okay. I can catch up using dinner. Worst case, I'll still be clocking 5 hours of study. I'll rarely be seeig ronald since I won't be studying with him in my room. So, that's my plan for 6 points. It's probably possible;)
