Prelims: Chem 2 & Econs 3
This is the most tiring day of the whole prelim period. Econs paper 3 is supposed to be the most terrible paper ever. Need to study so many chapters of stuff, memorise all the factors etc. Then when the paper comes out, you realise you remember every single thing, all except that one important factor that's tested.
Anyway, I glad that didn't happen to me. I'm actually quite happy with the paper. Cos I really took a lot, A LOT of effort to go through all those factors that affect price elasticity of demand, factors that shift the consumption function etc. I made up a list that's 8 pages long, and went through it like almost 7 times! Until I got every single factor correct. It's all still in my head now. *I'm so proud of myself! Hehe...* :D
We had to do 3 essay questions in 2 hours and 15 minutes. When I first started, I quickly did the outline for each question, in case I forget any of the points later. I thought I wouldn't be able to finish. Time was really tight. I rushed throughout, with my terribly messy handwriting, and finished one minute before time was up. Yay!
I think I did really well for the essay on wages. After the paper though, I realised I didn't quite pick out the point for the last question. Hope it's not too bad. Overall, I think the paper went well. :)
Chemistry paper 2 in the morning was quite difficult for me. Maybe because I studied for econs the whole night before and didn't study Chemistry. I didn't know how to do the first question and got quite demoralised.
I still remember the paper 3 I think I did not bad. Now, I'm afraid this paper will pull me down. :( There wasn't enough time to finish too... I left about 6 marks blank.
After the Chem paper and before the Econs paper (sorry a bit messy cos this post is not in chronological order...) we had 4 hours to study for Econs. I went to the library with Sheryl to study.
Then there was this super irritating girl. I seriously can't stand her. When other people talk, she'll give that bu shuang look. But when her friend came, they talk like nobody's business. Damn irritating!
Anyway, I think the exams has taken it's toll on me or something. I don't feel stressed, seriously! But I somehow became more introverted. Like when I take the bus with Shanelle, or when I talk to Sheryl, I'll have nothing much to say, it'll be very awkward when one person just keeps talking, then after a while, the conversation dies down and we just don't say anything. Super awkward la! But I can't help it, cos I really have nothing to say...
Anyway, now that the most stressful day of prelims is over, I can finally relax a bit. Tomorrow is maths paper 2, don't have to study much because I already studied for paper 1 the last time. (That's why I've been watching tv and online for more than 2 hours. Haha...) Looking forward to the weekends to take a short break.
I wonder who will be kicked out of Singapore Idol today. Only left with Hady, Jasmine and Jonathan. Actually I kinda support Jasmine and Jon, but I don't really care who wins in the end. Yesterday's performance was pretty much disappointing. The judges all think Hady and Jon should go to the finals. Whatever... This morning during assembly, there was announcement to ask VJ people to vote for Jamine cos she was from VJ (she's Sheryl's table tennis senior). And Jamine will be coming down to VJ tomorrow at 5pm (if I wasn't imagining that I heard that... Haha...)
