Four weeks ago, I did my final exams for Primary school before going to Junior High School.
Before that week, it felt as if we were joining military school because we were given strict rules and had to be separated into different rooms to do our exams.
We saw Mr J (our sports teacher) and Mr L (our computer teacher) sticking up the list of names of Grade Six on the five room where the exams will be taken. I didn’t notice them until my friend, Johanna, pulled me to see who was in Room One until Room Four (Room Five hasn’t been filled in yet).
Room One until Room Three were filled with the students in Class A and Class B. I’m in Class C, so it should be unfortunate that I’m in there. Moving on to Room Four: Still, my name wasn’t there, but my friends, Evelyn and Johanna were. I felt a pang of jealousy, because Room Four was just beautiful and Room Five, which should be the room I’m in, was as dark as hell. But I knew that I’m in that room for an exam, so I didn’t think of that much. Room Five had seventeen students from my class and one from Class A.
I studied on the weekend to get ready for my exams. It gave a lot of pressure because there were eleven subjects we had to go through: Religion, Bahasa Indonesia (Monday); Civics, Science (Tuesday); Computer, Arts (Wednesday); Social Studies, Physical Education (Thursday); English, Local Language (Friday) and finally, Math (Saturday).
Oh, and that’s not it. Next month, we’re having another test to get into our Middle School later on 🙁
It was pretty surprising (rather than tiring) though, because the questions that came out were mostly from our second semester in grade six. That was pretty lucky 🙂 And also, our Head Teacher chose me to be head of our room! I was pretty flabbergasted by that.
And finally, after a week of studying and doing exams, I can finally relax. It was tiring, but I eventually finished my exams at the end of the week.
In conclusion, the exams didn’t go as bad as I thought it would. The easiest one would be English, because (not to brag) I’m a pro at English 🙂 The hardest one would be Social Studies. Why? There’s litteraly soooo much to memorize about it! History, Geography, Economy, Social Interaction, and many more, are all included in Social Studies.
Seriously, it took me a lot of pressure.
Anyway, after all that I can finally relax with my friends and luckily, I was able to go to my friend’s house on the exact day our exams finished.
Before that though, my friends urged me to take a photo of us since it was one of our last days at school. This was pretty sad, because we were afraid if we might get separated later on in Middle School 🙁 Of course, I asked my friend to take our photo with my phone, and of course I sent it to them at once.
I went to my friend’s house to wait for my parents there. There we watched an Indonesian Drama/Romance Film called Dear Jo. It’s about a woman named Maura who marries a man called Jo. They’ve always wanted a child but couldn’t have one, so they ask their friend, Ella, to be a surrogate mother for their child (weird right?).
She agrees, but tragically, Maura dies in a car accident, so it only Jo and Ella afterwards. And then, Jo’s life gets untidy so Ella comes to his house and helps him build his life.
Afterwards, they start to become closer and closer until one day, Jo’s mother finds out that Ella is going to become a surrogate mother so she kicks her out but- You know what, this film is clearly nonsense so, I don’t think I should tell the rest, but it’s on Netflix, so watch it yourself.
Have I told you about my friends yet?
I’ve got four close friends, Evelyn, Johanna, Roll and Harel. I met Evelyn in fourth grade, Harel in fifth, and Roll and Johanna in six grade! Evelyn’s the best. Not only because I’ve met here since fourth grade, but she’s loyal, kind but VERY stubborn.
The one I don’t like…u know what I love all of them. The photo we took at the end of our exams was one of our last photos together you know 🙁
And sadly, our last moments were in school when we were practising for our dance 🙁
We’re all gonna be separated later on. Evelyn, Harel and I are planning to go to Budi Dharma Middle School. Whilst Roll and Johanna are gonna go to a different school.
I mostly loved the time when we were at our Out-Bond (read my writing about it!), when we had to stick together as a team, and there, I don’t think any of us got any arguments between each other!
I will always remember them later on (if we get separated).
~aggy~
