SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL LIFE (Week 9) – "Exams, Surprises, and a Bit of Fun"

 Week 9: Exams, Surprises, and a Bit of Fun

After exam snaps

  Week 9 was definitely a busy one! It all started on Sunday with my entrance   exam for school. I was a bundle of nerves, but I pushed through it, knowing   how important this test is for my future. Once that was over, I felt a huge   weight lift off my shoulders.

 Then, Monday through Wednesday hit us with finals for the first quarter.   Everyone was in full study mode, trying to remember everything we’d learned.   I was cramming at the last minute, just like many of my classmates. The   pressure was real, but somehow, we made it through each exam. After the last   one, I could finally breathe again!

 When Thursday and Friday rolled around, we switched gears to check our exam papers. It’s always a bit nerve-wracking to see how we did, but thankfully, most of us felt pretty good about our performance. The highlight of the week was watching the video of our role play in Intro to Philosophy. I was shocked when our group received a perfect score of 100! We had put a lot of effort into it, and seeing that pay off was such a rewarding moment. We celebrated together, sharing laughs and high-fives, which was a nice break after all the studying.

Amidst all the exams and grading, we kept up with our hip-hop dance practice for the upcoming presentation next week. It was great to unwind and enjoy ourselves while dancing. The energy in our practice sessions has been contagious, and I love how everyone is working together to make it fun and exciting.

The best part of my week came when I got home after all the chaos—my parents surprised us by being at the boarding house! It was such a relief to see them after the stressful days, and we spent the evening catching up and relaxing together.

Then came Saturday, and honestly, it was a blast! It was a day well spent with the family. We hit the arcade and had snacks at the mall, which was so fun. But what made it even better was finally eating real food again! Lately, with all the school pressure and my parents not around, we’ve been living on mostly processed foods, eating the same meals over and over. But that Saturday, we indulged in a proper meal, and it felt so good to enjoy fresh, homemade dishes again.

To top it all off, we’re all excited about the long weekend ahead! It feels like the perfect way to relax after a hectic week. Whether it’s catching up on sleep, spending time with family, or just hanging out with friends, I know we all need this break.

Overall, Week 9 had its share of challenges, but also some fantastic moments to celebrate. From tackling entrance exams to scoring high on our role play, I feel like we’ve accomplished a lot together. Now, we’re gearing up for the dance presentation, and I can’t wait to see how it all turns out!
