What I'm Doing Now

25th September~ Back home from my school's annual Swimming Gala. Phew! I was giving out my team/house's soveniers to the rest of the school, which was quite hard work. I also collected lots of soveniers from the other houses though-- blue bead bracelets from Caval House, green leaf-shaped pins from Kenny House, a sprig of fake lavenders from Morris House, fake gold medals from Curie House, and a tiny orange lifeboat from Mason House. My house, Keller house, is named after the famous Helen Keller, and one of the soveniers from my house are tiny biography booklets about her life! Another sovenier from Keller house is a black ribbon necklace with a red feather on it, and it was extremely populare this year. I sold almost all of the bracelets in just one hour! And I lost another freestyle relay swimming event for the 3rd year in a row...:(

29th June~ I've finally finished my exams, and I've got a week before I get my end-of-year report. I'm very nervous about it, so I'm not really sure if I can relax this week...

24th April~ Writing an essay about 'Sword Stained With Royal Blood' by Jing Yong for my Chinese Literature homework. It's sooo boring, and I don't understand the novel at all.

My Ramblings...

I hate being a Form 4 student in Hong Kong!! It's extremely tough, with long essay homeworks every week and lots of pop tests. I'm taking the Arts classes this year: English Literature, History, Chinese Literature and Chinese History. And there are also the core subjects, which I can't drop out of--English, Chinese, Mathematics and Economics. I'd drop Maths and Chinese if I could! I absolutely hate those two subjects, because they're so hard, and I've nearly failed both last year. At least I don't have to take Physics, Chemistry and Biology this year.
And the worst thing is that I'm taking my HKCEE exams next year, which are the big exams here in Hong Kong. My teachers have all started to ramble about how the HKCEEs are gonna affect my future, my application for university in 2-3 years time, blah blah blah. Well, at least I've got A+s in my recent English and English Literature essays, although I've got a D- in my Chinese!

A Little About Me

Well...uhm...I'm Wendy, and I'm 15 years old, and I live in Hong Kong. I love anything to do with books (especially fantasy or adventure books), and I love writing (mostly just short stories).

I have mid-length black hair and dark brown eyes. I'm 4'9'' feet, and I'm the shortest kid in my class (possibly even the shortest in the whole school!).

I was born in Wisconsin (in the US), but my parents decided to move back to Hong Kong when I was 8 years old, and I've lived in Hong Kong ever since (except when I lived at my aunt's in Taiwan for a year when I was 10). So I know Cantonese, Putonghua, Taiwanese and English, and a little bit of French. My Cantonese isn't very good, however, but as I'm planning to study abroad a few years later, I don't think it matters very much.

    Thanks :). I'm also planning to add my extra copy of Wolf Island to the fair, although my literature teacher disapproves of us reading those sort of books. He wants us to read more classics like Kafka and other rubbish...nobody pays attention to him though. What are your teachers like?

    Trying to write an essay on recent events, but have no idea what to write. Then I have to get to school two hours early tomorrow to manage the book fair my club is organizing. Well, at least I don't have to have any lessons before lunch because I have to organize the books...I think I'll put all the Darren Shan books at the front of the fair so that more people will buy his books :). Last year the DS books got sold out pretty fast, so I'm hoping it'll be the same this year.

    And how're you?

    Well, my teachers usually gets annoyed at me for always forgetting my homework, but as long as my grades are decent, they don't fuss too much about it. But the only problem is that they set too much homeowkr, and I have only 3-4 hours' sleep every day...I HATE school.
