I'm an A student; A meaning Average

I really consider myself the average student. I figured I shall just put in enough effort to get through. Averaging B's is good enough for me. Plus I hate competition. I never talk about competition. I never take part in competitions. The way I see things, we're all different, so there's no point pitting one against another.

So maybe that's why I don't do sports. Sports like ball games. But things like kayaking, rock-climbing, abseiling and swimming, even, I do have a certain interest in. I especially love kayaking. However, that doesn't mean I'm well-experienced. Truth is, I've only been on one kayaking expedition. That was sufficient to hook me up. I'm going for the Star 1 kayaking course next weekend. Yeah!

What's the point of stressing out over small things? It's all unnecessary and makes you age faster. I'm all cool and calm about things, taking everything with a pinch of salt. Being an average student, I get to enjoy many perks. Like catching movies after school, shopping after class ends, writing just enough for my essays, and excel at hands-on activities.

Few days back, we had to prepare a blood smear. Our own blood smear. I was so excited! I cleaned my hands and disinfected a fingertip and got it pricked(technically known as lanced) by a needle(technicaly known as a lancet). And then the blood oozed out.

We were supposed to put a drop of blood on a glass slide. So there I was, milking my left middle finger, hoping to get a huge drop of blood on the slide. It came out quite runny, not quite like what I expected. Anyways, I smeared it and after numerous procedures, voila! I had my own blood sample and we were later observing the cells under the microscope.

Cool eh?

An average student spends free time watching twisted comedies like Scary Movie in the school library.

So me and a group of people were watching Scary Movie 1 in the school's library. The image quality only says one thing: I'm pirated VCD. Anyways, we were enjoying the show and managed to attract many other people who gathered round the TV screen. And we were all having a ball of a time when a spoiler got into way. This idiotic lecturer stopped the movie and told us we were not supposed to be playing our own VCDs and DVDs in the library. He did so while the show was at it's climax! How bad can that be?!

More cool eh?
