it hasnt been a particularly fantastic day, esp with the many screw ups at work that i had to fix, and with all the other nonsense that came up along the way.
nevertheless, a big THANK YOU to everyone that wished me at some point today! you all made me feel better and more appreciated, so thank you very much for just taking those 15 seconds of your life to send me a nice little msg (:
i’d have posted a different one everyday, but that wouldnt be an accurate reflection of an ib student’s work ethic. enjoy.

1) We can fit two years worth into a month.
2) Re-take? What’s a re-take? We get it right first time.
3) We have incredible endurance.
4) No matter how much work we have, we can still make free time for ourselves.
5) We can serenade our partners in at least 2 different languages.

7) Our Biologists know their way around the human body better than any other 6th form student.
8) The chemistry in a relationship is mere child’s play to our higher Chemists.

11) Because we do it with creativity, action and (give you a) service.
12) We have experience in extended activity.
13) We can take it to a Higher Level.
14) “A-level students are like tired old bangers; they’ll do the job, but it’ll be a bit boring. IB students go like Ferraris.”
15) Our English syllabus puts a lot of emphasis on oral assessment.
16) No need for modules here; we do it all in one go.

19) We’re used to going all night long.
20) Our Computer Scientists can push all the right buttons.
21) Our Economists know just how to supply what you demand.
22) A session with one of our Pyschologists will relieve stress and help you sleep at night; and I’m not talking about Insomnia Therapy.
23) We IBers fall asleep in class so that we can get more done at night.
24) Experiments conducted around the world have at last confirmed what we have long suspected: sleeping with an IB student can in some cases double the IQ of a student doing a less rigorous qualification.
25) Our Group 4 students are fearless when it comes to experimentation.
26) We treat you like we treat our homework - we slam you on the table and do you all night long.
27) Thanks to TOK, we have several different methods for getting to ‘know’ you.
28) We go beyond doing just what we have to do, to make things more interesting.
29) Our Geographers know what to push and how to pull.
30) If you want, we work well in larger groups.
31) We can think creatively and come from all sorts of new angles.
32) Essays aren’t the only thing we can pull out of our pockets at a moment’s notice.
33) Our musicians will bring things to a slow swell followed by a climax.
34) Our Design & Technology students know just what materials and methods are right for you.
35) We can assess you both externally and internally.
36) Hey, we do need some reason to sleep.
37) We’re willing to try new methods to get better results.
38) We’ve never been known to finish early.
39) It’s not just our essays that are extended.
40) Like variety? We’re international!
41) Our Historians will make it a night to remember.
42) Our Business students know all the right places to do their business.
43) Give the Kama Sutra to an IB student, and they won’t just read and remember, but analyse and improve.
44) Our Visual Arts students aren’t just aesthetically pleasing.
45) IB students aren’t just better prepared for college academically.
46) Our Design & Technology students can handle a short nail or a long screw.
47) We penetrate topics from every direction.
this is just one of the many examples of how “music” as most ppl know it these days is absolute and utter trash.
also, watching disney and the jonas brothers’ brutal bashing in season 13 episode 1 of south park was strangely gratifying.
and wisdom always chooses these black eyes and these bruises,
over the heartache that they say never completely goes away.

i’d say something about drunken ewoks here, but there’s a dead pakistani on my couch.
i also like to tape my thumb to my hands and pretend i’m a dinosaur.
rawr.
the moment the realisation that the onli way of catching up with your friends is you reading about snippets of their lives on their online journals, watching facebook’s live feed for any updates whatsoever, or just basically having to utilise the internet before a semblance of a connection between our lives can be established.
that, is a really sad moment indeed.
so this is what it means to feel ambivalent about someone. indifference is harder to pull off than i thought it would be, rawr.
i’ve almost forgotten how much i like people to be straightforward with me, and not beat about the bush even if they’re just trying to be tactful.
i almost forgot how decisive i used to be when i was younger, especially during them make-or-break situations.
i almost forgot how terrible regret feels, and how i promised myself that i would never make the same silly mistakes ever again.
sometimes you just have to take that leap of faith. you’ll never know if you can fly until you jump off the cliff.

be bold, be brave, be resolute.
strike while the iron is hot.

carpe diem.
