Tests.

Today's the last day of the Term 3 Test Frenzy. The last test of the term was well, History. It left my fingers very much strained, but nevertheless, it was worth it.

My test status this term was reasonable enough. Though I could have done better. The worst score by far was my Comprehension results. A hefty 24/45. What a score. And I was below average I'd say. I love crafting an essay, or a composition. Its just that I'm bad at making those shorter, and concise. A 10/20. And I thought I got all the points. I'm a little worried about my Language Arts score this term. 24/45 is enough to pull my A1 down to a B4. And an extra 3 in my MSG won't help at all.

Humanities papers were relatively, safe for me I'd say. I just love the feeling of my fingers getting tired after scribbling strenously for at least three pages. Mathematics was manageable. However, for my Biology test, I think I did a 10 mark question wrongly. So yeah, not much hope of a 90% which I took down as my target score on June 30th.

From yesterday onwards, Infocomm Studies have officially been promoted to my favourite subjects list. The tests are open-mouthed and... yes, open-mouth. That's the best part. Everyone will get a free A1 in their report card by the end of the month. I gurantee.

I just hope my MSG this term would be below 1.5. I hope. How I wish my all my scripts would be as simple as the one above.

Shakespeare. The Marine of Venice.

Shakespeare. What a wonder he is. Written dozens of plays, with most of them hitting the fame charts and remaining as a classic even a few hundred years later. He is controversial, I say. Its just that sometimes I wonder whether he was a racist, a discriminator.

One good evidence that Shakespeare is racist is indeed from the play, Merchant of Venice, the play I myelf am analysing in school now. I looked at the facts.

- The only villians in this play are Jews.
- Shylock is portrayed as a stereotypical Jew.
- All the unfortunate stuff happens to him.
- In the end, he is converted to Christianity, and this is seen as a good thing.
- At no point does he say anti-semitism is bad.

This leads us to two conclusions.

- Shakespeare was satirising anti-semitism, in a unfunny way.
- Shakespeare was a racist.

So in the end, I think he was blatantly anti-semitic, no matter how good a playwright he was. I guess racism lies even in the greatest of mankind.

Training. Break from Scoping.

With the passing of the hectic week, I was free. Training resumed. I was a little nervous at first for returning to the field after almost a month. That tingy feeling went away after a couple of throws with my buddies.

How nice it felt to run freely around the entire field, as if it were my second home, with no restrictions, regulations as to when and where I can swing and throw. Coach taught us a batting technique today. I was unable to get it at first but with a little tuning, I excelled at it.

The irony of today was that, there was supposed to be a swimming test today. It had been already delayed for a week due to rain and it rained again. Aww. What a waste. It kept raining lightly until training. Cool.

My right shoulder ached a little but training got rid of it. After releasing a month of physical tension, I feel free and refreshed. I've gotta go work now. Seeya.
