What's happening?
Thursday, June 16, 2005
The neighborhood generator is not working, we're being cooked on calm fire.. I woke up at 6AM today just to scratch myself for an hour, thanks to the annoying bugs. Then I avenged and slept till 12:30, went to lessons at 3PM and came back at 8PM.. As usual, I was hungry I could eat a city but was really fed up after finishing half of my dinner that I had to finish it 2 hours later.
It's not a good feeling to have lessons for 5 hours, miss a prayer and come back exhausted to find out that your niece has just left with her parents :( That's me for the last couple of days..
My friends who wanted to pass the year didn't make it through the IQ test and the fifth grade's exams.. Only 7 of Iraq made it (3 from Mosul including 2 from my school).
3 of 7 from Mosul is a pretty good number but the whole 7 number is horrific.. It's the lowest ever! My friend is Okay, it seems; though I think she's still in denial. But, I've told her many times to put it in front of her, that she might not make it and if she didn't, she shouldn't lose the faith.. A lot of those who do not succeed in passing the year can't continue the school normally, without feeling the failure.. Especially that most of them wanted to skip the year because they think they can't make it through the finals..
At the Chemistry lesson today, the teacher had a headache because of the number of students who called crying for not doing good in the exam(There was a Chemistry exam for the 6th grade today, the exam was hard, it seems).. The teacher kept trying to calm the students down. We ended up taking 1/4 of the lesson because of the number of phone calls the teacher was getting.. Too many students gave the exam paper back to the teacher blank so they would fail in it and have to take it again instead of having a low mark which will affect the average, then the future!
