Goodness...Are the teachers trained to using more gadgets on staff training days? The e-learning homework is getting really retarded. Take chem for example. An online lecture? Very tech savvy, but they probably forgot to teach the teachers to make sure everyone's computers can support it. Or maybe upload the modules in everybody's accounts instead of just his own.

Seriously. Staff training day. "Have a good break over your staff training day!" Thank you teachers, if you think spamming us with work is called giving us a good break, I've nothing to say. They may as well just call these days e-learning days instead of staff training days. Why delude the students into believing that there are really such things as nice schools which gives holidays because they really believe the students need more breaks than just the usual school holidays.

No. Wrong choice of word. It's not holidays. It's e-learning, which can also be defined as days in which teachers take a break from conventional ways of teaching and tries something funny only to make students more miserable.

"Be a nice Rafflesian." Enough of complaining I suppose.

It's been so long since I had a proper holiday. Last december's was strange. It's definitely cause of OIP. March and September holidays are non-existent. June holidays is just like extended e-learning with homework scaled up to 50 times their normal importance.

And strangely enough, 21 march seems to be a very popular date. SMPF finals (assuming we get in), CO performance, some funny guitar exchange session (which simply involves playing for other schools and them performing for us), and I think it's someone's birthday too. Popular date indeed.
