Imsomnia
yup, prelims has officially started...
15 essays to write for the whole of the exams.
yup, u've seen correctly...15 essays.
Lit Paper 1 exam (3 essays) yesterday and GP (1 essay) n econs paper 3 (another 3 essays) today...
7 essays down, 8 more to go.... *groan*
lets see...
there's 2 essays for lit paper 4 and 2 essays for lit paper 8.
2 essays for physical geog n 2 essays for human geog.
arrrrrgh.
hmmm...lit paper 1 went ok i guess.
its hard to fail lit unless u din complete the essays so i guess i'll pass.
*recalls last jjl's incomplete test though*
erm.... -.-"
but not putting much hopes in this paper...
othello was like, huh? hard times was hard (curse the stupid charles dickens for writing such a see-no-understand novel) and silas marner incomplete. end result?? bravo...prob jus a passing grade.
hmmm...did i jus say i'm not putting much hopes in this paper?
sorry, let me make a correction...in all the three lit papers!
think if i were to pit my performance against the class percentile, i'd scored better than average in paper 8. but its one thing to do them as assignments or tests under time constraints, its another to do them under exam conditions (ie. stress)! hai...after my last lit test paper for jjl, i cant afford to not do well in her upcoming paper le... =/
and as for my lit paper 4, wat can i say?? two words...
blur and bluff.
still dun understand any shit of wat we'll have to write during the exams. guess like paul chau (our lit teacher for that paper by the way) says, we'll jus have to crap and bluff our way thru. yeah, rite...
hmmm...GP was ok today i guess...hopefully i'll pass.
but its econs that left me with the most sense of satisfaction as well as a sense of waste. cheem? go figure it out.
hmmm...a sense of satisfaction cos tho i know i'll probably still fail my econs overall, for this paper 3 even, but i'd been able to write an essay on a subject that i'd studied and practiced on before...finally man!
all the role of govt essays that ms. lai (our beloved econs tutor) had forced us to do has paid off...
saw a similar rog question on the exam script today and jumped straight into it...tho i wrote the essay in more than 45mins, but still...cant believe i actually manage to do it!! so happy... haha =p
but yeah...
the rest of the the two essays was crap.
dunno if i can pass either one of them anot, but as long as i pass that rog qn, i'm happy enough :)
cos it means that there's still hope for me if i study.
oh yeah...and guess wat??
my star virgo dream is not a dream anymore =)
mum has given the green light and xiang n i will be going to book n buy our tickets this thurs or fri!! ;p
ahahahahaha~
so happy!! >.<
been so distracted by all these anticipation the past few days that i find it hard to even concentrate on my exam papers. kept drifting off half-way thru n start day-dreaming bout how it'll be like to go on the trip wif xiang, to be all by ourselves and enjoy and relax and have the time of the world on a place where no one recognize us...
having trouble sleeping these few nites...
dunno issit cos of the coffee i've been drinking to keep me awake cos of the exams, or my body clock still not adjusted back from the one week sept hols, or my subconscious reluctance to fall asleep n dream of all that again...
shall try to sleep tonite. no exam tml so shouldn't be so stressed... issit cos of stress??
dunno wat to do if i really cant fall asleep again...pop a few pills??
lolx... sounds so nasty :p
nah, dun misunderstand. i really mean only a couple.
yawnz...gotta pia physical geog tml le.
gambate pple! =)
