Hi! I know it's been a long time since I last posted.Well, I was kinda thinking about year 3 and how I probably will NOT be able to get a 4.5. My aim is just to keep it at 4.00, an average of B+, and I think even that will be hard.And right now, I'm pretty sure I won't get into the principal's list. I mean, the top 5%! That's only 8 people! Yes, I did score 4.5s, but QUITE A FEW PEOPLE SCORED 4.5. At first I was disappointed, but now I've learnt to appreciate that I even got >4.5.I will NOT say 'Thank you God!' because I'm starting to doubt the existence of god, and therefore I will not thank something I believe does not exist.Anyway, get a load of this. I found it pretty funny. I hacked my mum's email account.From Jean-Marc:Dear Parents of Jayashri,
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Jean-Marc, the French Language Teacher at NUS High School. I am writing to you this little note because I don't know as yet if I'll be able to meet you on Parent-Teacher-Meetings day, i.e. next Monday 24 November '08. This is due to the fact that I have to go for surgery.
I would have liked to talk to you to praise your daughter Jayashri. I am a very demanding teacher, yet, she has performed very far beyond my expectations. She finished with a distinction (A+) and is the top student in class. I am really more than pleased with her progress. Jayashri is very talented, very hard-working, serious about her learning and eager to learn yet funny and easy-going. Jayashri is also quite outspoken and is not afraid of making mistakes. She always ask very pertinent questions. Jayashri is also very attentive. She has a great and positive attitude. I hope you will encourage her to continue her study of the French language. She definitely is a great role model for the class. If only all the students could be like your daughter! I also hope my own daughters become like yours...
Having said that, it would really be a pity and it would sadden me a lot if Jayashri was not going to continue to the next level as she truly is a role model for the rest of the class. Jayashri is quite lively, fun, jovial and bubbly and makes the class interesting. Of course, I know this is not a core module, and simply an elective one. However, I am sure you will agree with me that if she can speak French one day, it will definitely open doors for her.
Should you wish to contact me regarding the progress of your daughter or for any other reasons whatsoever, you can rest assured that I am at your entire disposal and you can contact me at my DID phone line number, which is: XXXXXXXX or on my hand phone at: XXXXXXXX.
I look forward to meeting you sometime in the future. At the same, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Festive Season, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Yours sincerely,
Jean-Marc Vilaire

I hope he's alright :/Anyway, have a GREAT Christmas [though once again I do not understand its significance] and Happy New Year! & Start studying cos we won't have much time during the term.Cheers,Jayashri
