To take or not to take..

hmm..so today we had to go to school..duh..and yeah had a humanities selection briefing talk in the PAC( which was stuffy, hot and humid).. lawl..it turned out to be something like a debate as teachers and students from the different groups(History, Geog, lit) tried to convert people to their side..the Literature intake each year is very little only about 30 students? enough to make up a class..But if you look at it..at the end of the day, the thing that can be applied is actually Geography. yeah..through literature you learn how to appreciate text and be a "better" person but it's still very much based on interpretation..not much to use in working lfie..Well, history..is kinda good for impressing people with stories and knowledge of the past...but other than that..what can it actually do? Historians have argued centuries of the good and bad guys and it always reaches no conclusion..absed on your own judgemeny and opinions..same as lit.. Therefore, geography seems to be the logical choice. Geog is something like a science humanities subject..where everything is usually factual, rather than based on opinions.

Combined humanties comprising social studies and elective lit/hist/geog is COMPULSORY!! that stinks.. So we get 9 choices for humanties:

1) Social Studies(SS) + Geogprahy elective + Full History 2158
2) SS + Geography elect + Full Lit 2014
3) SS + History elective + Full Lit 2014
4) SS + History elect + Full Geog 2235
5) SS + Lit elect + Full hist 2158
6) SS + Lit elect + Full geog 2235
7) SS + Geog elect (single humanities)
8) SS + History elect
9) SS+ Lit elect

Say..so which should i choose? I think i am gonna choose either 2 or 3..must see which one is better, geography or history..

lawl anyway.. we are the only school in Singapore doing History 2158..The humanities department gave their reason being the 2158 syllables is harder than the normal one, therefore no school offers that as it puts their students at a disadvantage. Well, that's what they claim.. If this 2158 was really that good, then why are we the only school offering it..unless of course.. it's lousy..yep! Something that is food for thought.. =P

Maybe i should just offer single humanities..SS + Lit Elective.. =(

Zomg we are going to study "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare AND "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee for full Lit 2014..for lit elective, it's only "To Kill A Mockingbird"..imagine studying the same book for two whole years!! @@

anyway..we had the Sec 4 farewell leaving assembly today..cool..we got a new chaplain to stand in for Friar Michael..the new chaplain was given a prestigious shawl that was awarded to any old boy that joins the priesthood.. now there's only one and one shawl left for the next priest..cool eh? =)

lawl..so now to go ponder the many factors included in making a desicion. @@
