Surprise!

Today I received 4 tests back. Wow right? Math, Science, History and Chinese. Actually why am i even talking about this if I'm not gonna tell u the complete truth? Fine. I have decided that I shall reveal the complete truth to my loyal blog viewers.

So this is about math. The math test we did yestersday was finished in marking in less than 24 hours and given back to us. Amazing right? But what's more amazing is my math teacher, Mr H. Now before you read on, I would like you to understand that I am NOT in love with him. Some of friends think I am. Or maybe they're joking... But he is really nice and probably the best teacher I've ever had because he is so funny and easy-going, apart from the rare explosions over our noise-level.

Basically, this time for math test, only one person got full marks. I personally think everyone got really high but Mr H gave us a serious talk about how we should "pull our socks up" and study harder. But I just sat there completely relaxed as he gave out the papers. Why? Because I already knew my mark. Let's go back to this morning...

I went into the math stuff room wanting to store a friend's birthday present there until later so it doesn't get wrecked. The first thing Mr H said when he saw me was "There's Mary! She's the only one who got full marks in the math test!" My friends didn't hear it because they were busy running away because they think I'm embarrasing. Yes you see, I already knew what I got...

So then at recess i was walking in the corridor with my friend JL when Mr Harbridge came past us again and said "100%! Wow! I'm so proud of you!" Yes. I get it Mr. I'm dumb and you are surprised.

Ok back to the classroom. People started guessing who got the 100%. Heaps of names popped out but none of them were mine. I'm not surprised. I am, after all, one of the dumbest in my math class. But at that moment I realised I didn't want anyone to know. So I started panicking and kept mouthing, "LOOK AT ME, MR H. LOOK AT ME!" And guess what? He did! It was so magical. Anyways i shook my head at him and he understood and told the class he couldn't tell because the person didn't want it to be known.

So YAH!!! I'm so happy now and I think I like him even more (as a teacher). I don't like teachers who invade your privacy by going 'I shall be reading your marks out"

Yah it's kinda ridiculous that I was more happy over the fact that the teacher understood me than the fact that I got pretty good for once in my life in a math test.
