This is blasphemy, I say! What kind of an organisation schedules a vacation to end before the New Year? What ever happened to the pointless-yet-fun activity of using the New Year as an excuse to give yourself a makeover? Okay, not that I'd do that. I can't be bothered. But the point is, I was kind of planning to go back to school after 2009 had begun. You know, like I used to.

Instead, I shall be going back on the Monday of that week, and the Tuesday... And the Wednesday. Then I get Thursday off. Seriously, what good is Thursday off? There's no point. Maybe with a slightly different set of rules it might matter, but my school has this annoying habit of not planning ahead. They see a public holiday and go "Hey, look, we can't have lessons on that day. Let's add to our student's agony by scheduling make-up lessons on another day, preferably when they have something important to do. Oh, and while we're at that, let's feed them with wrong information and bad calculations." Why can't they be like other schools and plan around public holidays?

Also, why can't they just give us proper assignments that are actually interesting, and put more weight into assessments, rather than presentations. The thing about presentations is that you're basically forced to boil down whatever you learned into a simple summary tailored for lesser minds. Explain too much, and it gets boring. Explain too little, and the intellectuals will cringe in agony. Not that that's a real problem around here.

It'd be nice if the presentation topic had anything to do with our syllabus.

I challenge my readers to find out how the body responds to a lowered serotonin level on a cellular level.

I need to do something. Also, I'm hungry.

I can see my log of recently uploaded pictures. Too few.
