Nocturnal

If circumstances permit, I am sure everyone would love and want to sleep at 10pm again huh?

I guess the Secondary Four life is not as simple and easy as I thought. I mean, at the end of last year, various teachers have already warned us that the next year would be one that would be extremely tough and it would be a year that we would face homework, homework and more homework. What comes after homework? Revision.

I guess its a vicious cycle that never ends. Once we are done with the homework given, teachers would then let us know that there is a class test the very next day or the day after. So homework, done, studying is next. Class tests over? Homework comes back at us...

What a cycle!

Another example of a vicious cycle in Secondary 4? Sleep is Scarce.

Everyday (except for Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays), we are to turn up in school for remedial at 7am.... The various remedial sessions are seriously taxing! At the start, we started appreciating the teacher's efforts to boost our academic standard, but as time went past, we realised that with the increasing revision and homework, little time could be used for studying and homework. Time that is used for the above actions would only result in us taking up more time, leading us to 'burn midnight oil'. Literally.

The next morning, we would have to wake up at preposterously early hours to arrive in school early for the remedial at 7am. School starts at 7.40am. Even 10mins of extra sleep seems heavenly now...

Monday to Friday. School starts at : 7am. School ends at : 4pm

Taking that we have 6 hours of sleep and lets say roughly 3 hours for our meals and getting home, we would have....

24-6-9-3 = 6 Hours for studying and Homework every single day.

Maybe some of the 6hours for this has leaked into leisure time for us? Maybe so. But you cannot deny that the O Levels would be a race against time
