Finally, block tests are over.

So here's a post mortem.

GP: I am amazed that it took me one try to finish writing the essay. Even had time to write conclusion cox I was stubbornly refusing to write 3 main points for the essay. In the end, it was a compromise and I wrote 2.5. Compre was not that happy an affair though. The dear GP department chose at that particular moment to unleash 2 texts with egards to the wordl's 2 least favourite topics of the moment. Multiculturalism (check out today's news 23.3.06, I think somewhere in the pg 30 of review-it was about multiculturalism in certain countries, it is so spooky, the coincidence) and Australia. The views were kinda polarised though.. And I am doomed for failure.. If I didnt recall wrongly, my word count for the cummary is.. 140+ .. All is not good...

Math: Wahaha. Trigo is a definite goner, so is vectors. I had what, root 145plus some other fractions.. Think I calculated the obtuse angle, or so I am told.. Still, I am hoping for a B on that one.. On second thoughts, with the amount of marks I have lost, let's just pray hard for a pass. Damn.

Chemistry: Benzene compounds galore. Freak ah. I guess I am glad I gave Ionic eqmb lesser priority. Still, I think it should be more or less okay ba.. I KNEW IT! Must study hydrolysis of nitriles. I can almost hear Mr Wan smirking at our answers as he strikes a big red cross against our answers. Which brings to mind the interesting notions that quite a few teachers seem to take sadistic pleasure in savouring the moment of crossing out our answers with a red ink pen. I would enjoy it too, if given the chance. Or maybe it is not esctacy they are feeling.. Maybe it is pure anger.. Whee!!

Physics: Doomed to failure from the start. The consequences of not printing that damn formula list for us: Students squiting their eyes out to see the formulas. I had the charge of an electron to a power which is 10^3 times smaller of the actual value. Wah... Oh I had the joy in discovering a fellow slacker at around 9 pm on Wed. Jamie called and we both were marvelling at the dismal resmblance our attempts to study had. We both just finished superposition, skipped temperature and thermal properties, and were staring at topic 17 and 18. It would have been funny for both of us if not for the fact that that meant we only studied 1 topic out of the 9 tested with less than 10 hrs left to the test.

Wahahaha. I cant wait for the results to be out.
