A plea for intercession

urgently requiring prayer.

sometime back, i mentioned i was eager to drop History, mainly bcos of a dwarf named Jaw-nerd-turn Y****, n take up General Studies in Chinese (GSC) instead. today, Mr Kong brought 4 of us who are interested in taking GSC to meet the Chinese HOD. Brandon, Lena, me n Sophia (the councilor). to shorten the long narration, my confidence in taking up Chinese again was like a campfire being extinguished in an instant.

apparently, now both History n GSC are equally difficult to cope. lemme try to weigh the both of them.

Pros of GSC:

1. in the long run, aft gg thru the lessons, i suppose i'd become a critically-thinking person, just like how GP is gonna mould me into.
2. the lessons shd be more interesting n engaging thn those of Jaw-nerd-turn.
3. the teacher shd be humane, unlike Jaw-nerd-turn.
4. i get to improve on my mother tongue, of which i cud further make use in the future, eg translation.

Cons of GSC:

1. in the short run, most probably i'd struggle w/ picking up Chinese again. i had a hard time writing a GSC essay for the HOD to screen 2 weeks ago. this means i might flunk the subject.
2. there are other students currently in GSC (those taking 2-yr course) who are much better n might make me look like an idiot (quoted frm Mr Kong himself).
3. if i were to take up GSC, we wud undergo only 2 school terms of effective learning b4 taking on the prelims. i'm afraid tt's not enough for me.
4. there wud be aft-sch remedial lessons for us to catch up w/ those who have gone thru this one yr of GSC lessons. these wud clash w/ my CCAs.
5. reading of newspapers is essential for survival. i don't even touch Straits Times, let alone Zaobao.

Pros of History:

1. i've taken this subject for a yr. it'd be a waste if i drop it.
2. i'm among the average in the cohort, i.e. not one of the worst.
3. a few of my friends say i can do well in History.
4. it's in English; i won't have to put in much effort in expressing my ideas, unlike for GSC i had to translate almost everything in my head to Chinese when writing tt essay.

Cons of History:

1. the adorable face of Jaw-nerd-turn. i mean abominable.
2. there's a lot of extra reading to do other thn the dwarf's lacklustre notes.
3. the ultimate bore of listening to its monotonous bark during every History lesson.
4. the wrath of being unjustly humiliated by tt mere creature.

okay i noe some of the above are a lil exaggerated. pardon me. right now, most imptly, wat i need is the prayers of those who care for me. i urgently need God's guidance to help me make the right decision. my life is alrdy full of regrets. some may say it won't matter to add another, but i seriously don't agree w/ tt. i don't wanna regret making the wrong decision again. so pls pray for me. thank you very much!
