First day where I actually got down to seriously studying, although reading the GP bulletin is a decidedly pathetic way of getting started. Some essays are good, but others give an overly balanced treatment of the question. I didn't think it was possible to dislike GP anymore, but I do now! Took out all the stuff that I'm going to go through, and the stack is huge! Considering I deliberately skipped the heavyweight topics for both History Paper 1 and 3, I'm absolutely bewildered at how 'A' Level students in Singapore survive. Probably by taking three 'A' Levels, but never mind that, because this is RJC and we're going to stuff the rest of them. Education in Singapore is one long dismal cramming session. Educate? It does anything but.
