Oh, I just realised no one knows what I am talking about. Enlightenment time. :D

So Tis Really Enormously Stressful Schooling
Haha. XD
Anyway, when I found out that SYF would be this year, I had long expected this stress to set in, but little did I know that I had completely underestimated just what I was dealing with. It came so fast it hit even harder than a truck. :(
Packed schedules, HOARDS of homework. The average components of a teenager's life. Well, if it were NORMAL practices, it would be ok, but apparently these few months will not be very "normal", so to speak. This is in preparation for the SYF - Singapore Youth Festival competition which will be held in April. We have an average of 3 practices each week, each practice lasting around 3 to 4 hours with barely any breaks. And the seniors' high expectations certainly do not help much...
Also, we had changed sections from our previous SATB (Soprano Alto Tenor Bass) sections. I screwed mine bad, and got transferred from Alto to Bass. Not the best transfer, surely. :(
Then there was the problem of CNY performance practice. The performance is next Wednesday, leaving us with very little time for preparation, increasing our practice days by one, for a total of four glorious days. O.O Not that I'm complaining though. :P
And that's the part of this incredibly toxic equation. Next, the terror. THE FLOOD THAT IS HOMEWORK OVERLOAD.
Now, this one is actually the "universal norm" in schools, so I'm not going into too much detail (The post is long enough as it is). Secondary school is when the homework load starts to build up. And it hits hard and fast. Add in the packed schedules, you ain't going to get a very optimistic result.In a nutshell, the average teen life can be put simply in this equation.
Packed Schedules + Homework overload = Epic disaster
And as I write this final assignment post, I still have homework waiting.
And enough's enough, the limit is near breached.
