Exams are finally over!! YaY!…. Now all I have to worry about is the results……come to think of it, it’s just a better sweet moment right now. So, anyway, today we had fill in forms to register for next year’s SPM. Besides my usual 10 subjects, I’ll be taking Art and EST as extra. Had to get the teacher’s permission before I could take them. No problem with Art, but for EST- BIG! BIG! PROBLEM!! They won’t let me take it!! Why!? Just because I’m an Art stream student, doesn’t mean I can’t take it!! After going from one teacher to another, they told me to ask her, then ask another…. Finally I’m directed to PK 1 (Mr Lee Veng Fok aka Fishball). He also said cannot, said that this subject is for Sains classes, that it’s a very hard subject(for those who are taking this subject would know it’s damn like English, and English is so my thing!), it was as though he’s saying I’m very stupid! Just because I’m from Art stream, they think we are all stupid! I hate him! As he blabbered it to other teachers that pass us, I couldn’t help it. I was so crushed and so looked down upon! I couldn’t hold my tears(you would cry to if it happened to you, or at least you’ll be really angry). No matter how hard I tried to tell that I could do it and that I wanted it really badly, there was nothing more I could do.
As a last resort, I had to call my parents to speak on my behalf(no grown-up will ever take us seriously, I hate them for that). Low and behold, he reconsidered and asked us to see the HM, and get his approval. It is so much less stressful with a grown-up. So he said he’ll consult my English teachers and see my performance so far(which are all As, not that I’m bosting), then asked me to see him tomorrow. Well…. At least there’s hope left….
