Exams: END!

The End of Year SA2 secondary three express Examination is officially OVER!!!

Let's look back on the progress of the dreaded exams this past few days, shall we? xD
Will be posting loads of pictures on the way =) I take photos when I'm bored. This is going to be the longest and boringest post ever.



^ First step: Get motivation. Trust me; it did not work -_-" I pinned it up next to my PSLE thingy, and I felt nothing. The bright orangeness did no good.

First Day: English Paper 1
It wasn't too bad, since I get to write tragic stories again!
Overall Rating: GOOD

^ I was seriously getting pissed off with this moments question. Why does a girl stand in a plank suspended from somewhere high anyway??

Second Day: Chinese Paper 1 & 2
I flunked it. Simple and sweet, I flunked the essay writings.
Overall Rating: BAD

Third Day: English Paper 2 + Social Studies
Never saw such a difficult english compre passage ._.

SS... haizz... because I couldn't be bothered to pay attention when Ms. Lao was teaching the last topic, deterrence and whatsits, I had extra work to do.
Dragged myself out of bed at about 3.30am in the morning to remember the deterrence and diplomacy topic.
I understood, but I couldn't remember.
I had to wash my face approximately 6 times or so to keep myself awake. And I still feel asleep o.O
Woke up again though, before five. And panicked.
In the end, I didn't even pick the deterrence question! Instead, I picked the conflicts one.
Since I myself am a Catholic, I found no problem answering that.
Which means I am rightfully supposed to dislike the Protestants/Christians?
._.
Overall Rating: OKAY

^ The true side of an S Personality person. Organized but disorganized.

Fourth Day: Maths + Elective History
Was even harder pulling myself away from the bed in the morning.
I knew Nazi Germany like the back of my hand. I even sympathized with Hitler; so I had no trouble revising History =D

I was so afraid of Math that I wrote the sine and cosine rule wherever and whenever I could.
Overall Rating: OKAY

^ Hail, Hitler.

Fifth Day: Physics + Pure Literature
The dreaded day, Physics. That day, everywhere I go, I test myself with physics theory. When I see a form of balance, I test myself moments. At equilibrium, CW=CCW. When I see the fridge, I remember heat capacity. I see an object fall, I remember gravity.
I was going crazy.
Again, the same schedule. Wake up at 3 am, study. Again, it was difficult. This time, I even had to adopt Ruo Nan's method of doing sit-ups and push-ups to stay awake.
The physics paper? No comment. I just did what I could, and I hope it's enough

^ To: Michelle Darmawan. From: Laws of Physics. Type: Info.

Pure Lit was =D The poem was interesting, and many found they could relate to this tragedy.

^ Pablo Neruda: Tonight I Can Write
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example, "The night is shattered.
And the blue stars shiver in the distance."
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

I thought it was really sad, the way he was in denial. First, he said: "I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her." And as the poem goes along, he finally said: "I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her."
Actually ended up debating with Debby at how I commented he was a helpless failure.
An unintentional failure who captured others' hearts.
Overall Rating: NOT BAD

^ The list of I-don't-understand-this-and-that.

Sixth Day: A Maths + Pure Literature
The cursed day. I wanted to follow my original schedule, but I don't know why, I was just too tired. And I couldn't wake up. Curses. When I woke up at 5, I flew into instant panic. In the end, as predicted, the exam went HORRIBLY. This is like, a doomed failure. No doubt... Sank into depression after that exam.

I was beginning to understand why teachers said Pure Lit in JC and O' levels is hard. Saw the Off-centre question. They asked, "Explain the reasons for the perplexing friendship between Vinod and Saloma that, although having experienced some changes in dynamics in the play, is never fully resolved to full acceptance between both parties."
My reaction: o.O............
Overall Rating: BAD

^ Two in love, one envious party. Why can't they test us on this Off-Centre cover page; ask us why it reflects a feeling of loneliness.

Final Day: Chemistry
Once again, the good old timetable. Sleep in the afternoon, study till 12, sleep till 3, wake up and study again. The exam itself... I left practically the balanced equations and ionic equations BLANK. MCQ wasn't too bad.
After the exam, everyone not in bio started cheering.
I couldn't surpress the urge to cheer as well.
IT'S OVER!!!
Felt kinda bad for the bio students though =P
Overall Rating: OKAY

^ Never knew you could actually make a road out of a freaking e math graph.

I'm positive if this exam had gone on for another week, I'd have been diagnosed with a case of serious depression.
Thank You God.
Thank You Myself.



^ And thank you, alarm clock, for waking me up every morning.
