And thus the school year hath begun.

Like 3 days ago, but I didn't update 'cuz of the workloads. (TYPICAL.)

Okay. So, I am now OFFICIALLY a sophomore. A year which is pretty much CRUCIAL if you want a good job. This is the year we have our first Board exams. (Board exams are like your A-levels, SATs, GCSEs, etc.) And these papers come to Dubai from New Delhi, and they are sent back to New Delhi for correction too. So it makes it much harder.

I really wanna do MUCH BETTER this year, and I pray that I have the strength to do so. 

I also wanna try to complete my homework on time. Which isn't as possible as I'd figured it out to be. Juggling tutoring homework and school homework is a little tough.

I'll try to post everyday or so, but it won't be possible next week since I am going to Saudi Arabia for a pilgrimage with my family. I was a little reluctant at first since I was on a roll concerning academics, but then I realized that my religion is actually more important to me than my studies. So, I'm enthusiastic to go for it. I'll probably pray that much isn't done in class while I'm gone, and that I can catch up with my studies easily.

On other news, I've got pretty great teachers. All my science teachers are apparently amazing (And that's very good considering my terrible science grades last year.) ,and my Maths teacher is okay, though she scares me. My English teacher is very cool, and Social Science teacher is pretty amazing. I just don't like my Arabic, Hindi and Computer Science  teacher. The Arabic teacher is just so weird, and my Hindi teacher is my last years hindi teacher, who is terrible, and my computer teacher is THE WORST. According to some sources. And my Islamic teacher is great.

So, overall, my teachers are good this year.

Also, I am the class monitor. I REALLY wanted to be one, since I wanna know what responsibility feels like in terms of school. I was elected as the monitor, and I got the most votes. (Which I'm happy about.) the only downside, my classmates won't shut up about how it was a bad idea to elect me. (They are just joking, but still.) I really want my classmates to think that it was the right choice of electing me. And I want them to take me seriously. Not the happy-go-lucky joker I usually am.

But it's a little hard. 

But I know that I can do this. I believe in myself.

Well, I better go. Sleep calls.

Whatever.
