Valentine's Day and other stuff

Greetings. :D

V day's approaching, so here's a little guide to Valentine's Day in St. Nicks. Usually a noisy and flamboyant affair (if I may say so. It may be an exaggeration) generous girls bring huge bags of sweets and candies or little cards and distribute them to their whole class, seniors, juniors, or CCA mates. :D Coming to school empty handed is fine too, it's definitely not compulsory to spend your money on buying candies for your class.

Hm. Yeah. I guess that's all. Store the chocolates carefully in your bag or eat them before it melts, say thank you to whoever gives you the choccies, enjoy the sweets, and blast through Valentine's Day. :)

HOW TO IRON YOUR PINAFORE.

The ironing pro (aka ME) says "Make sure the pleats can be seen." I love ironing my school uniform btw. I find it calming and nice. :D If you want your pleats to be seen, just er. Hold them and press the edges of the pleats down, then iron it over, instead of just ironing it out straight, which will lead to cone shaped pleats. I don't know if you know what I mean. =/ Lol! :D

COMMON TESTS.

Friday is a Common Test day. Since this is a rather common-sense piece of wisdom, I shall just say it anyway. Manage your time well in the days before Common tests. Studying during the weekends help, because you'll be so loaded down with tests and projects during the weekdays. Your classrooms will be open till 5.30 (I think) after school, so that's a great place to study too. Doing last minute revision is bad. So listen out for test dates announcements clearly, and mark them with the TEST! stickers in our student diaries.

CCA: The Right Attitude

It's a strange new world to you, so look out for your own errors and participate actively in bonding sessions! Try not to get misleaded by first impressions, but at the same time use those instincts to help you be aware of the right/wrong company. It's definitely ok to ask a senior for help in anything, they're your seniors, after all. But don't take things for granted, either. Learn how to do things by yourself quickly, be attentive during CCA sessions, and don't grumble about your CCA in front of your CCA members. It's quicker to make enemies that way. I'd say it's ok to be shy during the first few practices/sessions, but make sure you open up soon!! Never ever pon your CCA unless you reall can't make it, it'll bring you to the attention of teachers and leave a bad impression on fellow CCA members. Be happy and ENJOY your CCA, and then things will be just fine for you. :D

Seriously, I guess that's all I have to say for this week. It's getting harder and harder to write these days as you guys make new friends and get to know your way around the school. Bleh.
