Forty-Six
The family's making a ruckus. Tomorrow is the first day of the school, and they're all frantically making the final preparations - packing bags, getting clothes ready, and all that jazz. A couple of weeks, maybe even days, ago, this sight would have made me feel wistful, but now I feel a little smug. I'm glad that I get to extend my holiday a little longer, even if it is only for a couple of days and even if it would be riddled with various activites of the house-caring type.
My cousin was doubtful when I told him that we may be getting our results this coming Friday - he says that, if that were the case, we'd know of it by now through the media. This despite that fact that my friends say that the media would only alert us of our results the day before it is given out - two days, if we're lucky. I don't know who to believe.
That doesn't stop me from being paranoid, though. Everytime I get an SMS - which, admittedly, isn't too often - I get freaked out, thinking that it's a message from one of my friends that would go somewhere along the lines of 'OMG DEE WE'RE GETTING OUR RESULTS TOMORROW CHECK THE NEWSPAPER AAAAAAHHHH!!!!', when the message is actually from Singtel promoting some new service that failed to catch my attention long enough for me to read it till the end.
I really can't stand the anticipation anymore. Even if they can't give it to me right now, at least give me the date of that Day so that I can freak out now, in advance, and then be resolved, resigned, and ready when the Day finally arrives.
The website has nothing to reveal:
"Examination Results for GCE O-Level will be released in mid January of the year following the examination year.
You will have your results sent to you by post. You may also retrieve your results through the Internet."Gaah.
