Well, the last entry was a little bit too serious, so I'll begin with a happy topic.

Today we had our Chemistry Challenge games, which is similar to the Amazing Race in terms of game rules and systems. They say it's also similar to Extra Challenge (I don't watch the show so I'm not sure of the spelling biggrin ), a local TV show I absolutely know nothing about.

I wasn't able to play, though, because I was assigned as a marshal for the first station, which involves sport stacking (yay! xD), one of the things I love doing. I have to say, even though I never got to play, I had fun just watching my other classmates having fun and laughing at themselves.

The Chem Challenge was held at the last period, from 2-4 in the afternoon. It was some perfect timing, because the rest of the day was quite boring, despite today being Monday. It ended up a success, though. We all got to go home sweating buckets and still wearing our P.E. uniforms. I have to say, it was a hell of a lot of fun.

On top of the Chem Challenge today, I just found out that I'm a part of the top ten students in the class. Even though I only ranked number 10, it's already a big achievement because it was the first time I ever got listed into the top ten. Still, I feel mixed, though. I couldn't quite jump for joy when I first saw it, but at least I know I'm studying, even if it's just a little. It makes me want to strive harder so I can get a better rank in the future ^^

Overall, like any other day, today was a good day, if not a great day. I thank God that I managed to live through today and I hope I can still survive tomorrow.
