it's the city of night

It’s been almost a week since I last posted, but it wasn’t because I was busy, I simply had nothing to say.
The new girl’s here, she’s from Shenzhen. Her parents are in Miri so she lives in the boarding house. She has limited English, so most of the time I have to speak Chinese to her. She’s in my art class only.
The parent-teacher’s meetings were absolutely chaotic. The appointments were all messed up, and instead of going home at 7, after my last appointment, we went back at almost eight. The science exam results are out, I did okay but generally the marks were a bit lower than the last result.
The DOE trip is next week, we’re going to get through a peat swamp forest- MOSQUITOES and LEECHES!! Dirty, muddy, wet and swarming with creepy crawlies- being the anxious sort I have naturally started worrying and thinking of what-ifs, eventually arriving at the conclusion that I regret joining DOE- I am so worried things are going to be unbearable- heavy bags and soggy, wet, muddy food- no beach this time.
On a brighter note, :D the new topic in art we’re doing is particularly fun- miss R made us do extremely odd sketches- like continuous line drawings, 1 minute rough sketches (or something to that effect) and abstract chalky stuff. One of the artists we’re investigating is a certain lady named
Meret Oppenheim, a surrealist with an influence on
fashion- anybody for tea from a furry teacup?
