Just finished RS report, and final draft submission's over. Unless a miracle happens, this will be the furthest I will see my scenario go. Quite probably it will never reach Australia. I'm not expecting to win.
Scenario Writing's really slack compared to other RS groups and yet we use up lots of resources. I wonder why, really; we only have 8 people if we include the seniors and 6 if we don't. Normally the seniors don't come for the Sec2s' RS block.
And we take up the entire Media Resource Room. It's booked nearly every week just for 6 people to use, and outside in the library we see 6-8 people crowded around one small table. And we're normally just doing the usual stuff: peer editing and discussion. There's a vague feeling of Schadenfreude watching others suffer outside, but I normally feel quite guilty about it. :/
We're the tiniest Research Studies group in the school. Only Sec2s and Sec4s doing Middle and Senior Division respectively, and other people's one RS group (CMPS: 8 people per group) is equal to the number of people doing Scenario Writing at any one time in RGS. And mostly we just sit around and slack, or edit our scenarios some more, or discuss each other's stories.
It got boring. I got sick of my story and I think others did too. Notwithstanding, I have to say that I eventually developed a very personal, love-hate relationship with my scenario and fangirled over Xinyuan's cute guy character, Erik, freaking her out.
Thus concludes my little pep talk for myself to strive on and continue editing my darned RS report. There'll be another draft submission, and another, and another before I'll finally be rid of it. Grah.
