Four more papers to the end of the A level examinations. I'm just wondering why year after year, examinations continue again and again. Sure, its one batch after another, but the resources used to carry out this examination is... Well, alot! Imagine how much paper is used during the examinations, not to mention the huge carbon footprint since our scripts are shipped all the way to UK to be marked and the certificates as well, huge amounts of paper! Well that's my point. The thing is, is it really necessary at all? Well eventually there will be a day without the need of paper during examinations. At least it will help prevent trees from being cut down and all... Or are our scripts recycled after they have been marked and the grades recorded? I really don't know... Perhaps it is why there are no changes in grades despite appeals... Hmm, what do you think?

Anyway, Economics will be tested tomorrow, and I am really nervous about it. Its one of my weaker subjects, so I think it is natural for me to have this reaction. Biology and Chemistry on Monday, then Biology more than a week later. The end really is in sight. One thing though, what would I do with my life after that? Sure, there's prom, but after that what? I applied to be a relief teacher and wonder how my application will go. If I am sucessful, there goes my trip with my friends since I will be stuck here in Singapore.

So the end is in sight. Does it signify a new beginning as well?
