Thoughts about SP( Special Programme)

To tell you the truth, after facing the "reality" from Term 3, I seriously doubt that I qualify for a Special Programme. Nevertheless, I will still work hard to actually try to get into one. I actually have some thoughts about going into 3Q before getting out o fit at Sec 4. I know that I do not have the discipline to actually stick to my work and revise independently. I wanted to actually enter 3Q and to actually develop the "mugger" spirit and to come out as a real student eager for knowledge. However, I do not want to miss out the opportunity that entering a Special Programme brings to learning more new things. I have set my mind to only IP- Special Program, not CSE-Special Program as I think it is more or less impossible for me to actually obtain an A1 for Language Arts. I do not despise Chinese Studies in Chinese(CSC) but the requirements are just too harsh for a student like me. I have basically decided on two programmes, namely the Bicultural Studies Programme or the Science Math Talent Programme. The main reason that I do not like the Humanities Programme is because of my fear for History and Geography. History and Geography is scary because of the load of information and statistics that one needs to memorise . I am okay with the literature part though, as reading texts and stories are pretty interesting. Well, Language Elective Programme is mainly studying of China History, Geograohy and literature which I am not interested in. BSP is fun as I get to learn the economy of China and other businesses in China which is relatively interesting and is a potential topic in the future. SMTP is cool as I get to do experiments in the SRC lab. This helps me to develop my science knowledge more broadly as I get to do more hands on rather than studying based on some textbooks and worksheets.
