In 43 Days

i've realized that in third year...

10. READ and LISTEN intently. Not doing so may cause you to fail a certain test.

9. Always BE READY. You never know what so-called "fun surprises" teachers give us, thinking that we'll enjoy them. or, if not what they'll enjoy.

8. You can NEVER BE READY. Again, you never know what's going on in those brains of theirs. You never know what they'll make you do or answer.

7. When teachers say that a test is easy, DON'T BE STUPID and actually believe them. Unless you're Aya, girl genius, study your ass off 'cause it's gonna be HELL HARD.

6. Getting a perfect score for CREATIVITY IS A CLIP ART AND A SLOGAN IN TIMES NEW ROMAN. When, in some way, you work your butt of until the wee hours in the morning drawing a symbolic map and carefully, beautifully decorating your slogan by hand, you get only half of the perfect score... which is only 2 but come on.

5. When they ask for SYMBOLS, they MEAN IN-YOUR-FACE drawings/poems/slogans that have what you want to say plastered all over it. Symbols of the like should never be Mariana's-Trench-deep. This leads us to...

4. NEVER MAKE TEACHERS THINK AND ANALYZE your work. For them, it's read and grade. Thinking outside the box will only give you a 6/10.

3. NEVER FORGET things in your locker. If you do, blame your bladder. JOKE.

2. Hurry but DON'T PANIC. Write at 100 letters per minute but make it LEGIBLE. Think fast but SHARP--Carelessness will haunt you to sleep. Keep it short but MEANINGFUL--it doesn't have to be as long as the Nile River.

1. Sometimes, you gotta be BLONDE. ;)
