Of "UlcerDay"
Ever wondered what do the names of the days of a week mean?Well,allow me to provide you with two types of definitions.One way is to explain through a method which is partially used in Portuguese and Russian.

English Portuguese Russian Meaning of Russian name
Monday segunda-feira ponedelnik After "do-nothing"
Tuesday terça-feira vtornik Second
Wednesday quarta-feira sreda Middle
Thursday quinta-feira chetverg Fourth
Friday sexta-feira pyatnitsa Fifth
Saturday sabado subbota Sabbath
Sunday domingo voskresenye Resurrection

Alternatively,most Latin-based languages connect each day of the week with one of the seven "planets" of the ancient times:Sun,Moon,Mercury,Venus,Mars,Jupiter and Saturn.French,for example,uses:

English French "Planet"
Monday lundi Moon
Tuesday mardi Mars
Wednesday mercredi Mercury
Thursday jeudi Jupiter
Friday vendredi Venus
Saturday samedi Saturn
Sunday dimanche (Sun)

It is interesting to note that also some Asiatic languages (for example, Hindi, Japanese, and Korean) have a similar relationship between the week days and the planets.
English has retained the original planets in the names for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. For the four other days, however, the names of Anglo-Saxon or Nordic gods have replaced the Roman gods that gave name to the planets. Thus, Tuesday is named after Tiw, Wednesday is named after Woden, Thursday is named after Thor, and Friday is named after Freya.

Why did i say all those?Well,in a way its pretty interesting to know about these origins.After all,its one of those useless facts one can attain that can actually impress others."Hey,did you know?" kinda question that can make youself seem articulate and intellectual.Anyway,i'd like to add another "Day" to that list.Ulcerday.Doesnt that sound like a day in a week to you?Of course,we'd have to increase the number of days in a week to eight if we were to do that.Anyhow,i felt like today was the "UlcerDay" instead of a "lundi","segunda-feira","ponedelnik",or simply put,Monday.It was more like UlcerDay,and here's why.

Well,everybody gets ulcers.At least its in the genes of my family.Everybody gets ulcers all the time.I should be thankful that its not some life threatening diseases.Anyway,besides me having a huge ulcer on my lower lips today,it felt like the whole day was a big ulcer in my life.You know sometimes you know that its bad to lick your ulcer,since it only make matters worse.However,you cannot help it because its always there to bug you,and you tend to lick it all the time.Yes,after getting back my bloody papers i was too numb to say much.I simply sat at my seat and closed my eyes(Other than the occasional "Into the Space" Stares).Was it really bad?Well,Im not sure about Econs,but Geography and Maths were really bad.I dropped two grades for Geography,and that really sucks.Although i dont see anybody getting higher than me other than Samantha,but it still sucks to have dropped two full grades.Yes,as Mr Ng said,Prelims tend to be a lot harder,and the grades then to be lower than before.But i wonder how the students are supposed to be prepared and motivated for the big As after this.And they call the Prelims a "Preparation".What an unsuitable usage of vocabulary.Maths,i improved.Surprisingly.But then again,how do you get a lower grade than the rock bottom result i had for maths during the Mids?Though i attained my 100% improvement,it was still not enough.Considering how everybody,or rather most of the people,were pretty satisfied with their results.At least the people around me were the PowerHouses.

Oh well,like an ulcer,licking on in consistently isnt going to help it heal.Therefore,instead of thinking about my bloody results those papers are staying in my bag forever until i find a suitable location to destroy them.They just remind me of how "Stupid" i am sometimes.How much time ive wasted for such a bad result.I mean,its not like i didnt try.Obviously those late afternoons and evenings in the library didnt bloody help.Well,it did.But everybody else did better.So what is the freakin' use.Its like on the running tracks.Your opponent was 2 times faster than you now,and you train and train so that the next time you run you'd beat him.You train till your legs are able to bring you 10 times faster than your opponent's previous record.You are happy for a while,until you realise that you opponent just bought the all new sports shoes with rockets installed.I mean,what is the use to improve now then.Lose by a mark,losing by 50 marks,its losing.Yeah,they say its not a competition amongst your friends,but between yourself.Of course they say that.But when the big As come who gives a rats ass how long you ran?They care about where you reached.Thats the only thing they care about.

Im sure most of my friends have better fates than myself.After all,i am not the academically inclined ones amongst my friends.Its tragic to be in my state at my age.I mean,isnt the grades the most important things now than anything else?Lets admit it,without the grades,you get nothing.You are basically nowhere and nobody.At least right now,you are not.

Dont you just hate Ulcerdays.They make you feel stupid all over again.Ulcerdays,what a pain in the ass.Or should i say,lips?
