I love coffee! Especially when it's ice cold and with milk!

A's: Maths 1

The paper was great! This is the only maths exam that I've studied so hard for. The previous ones, I just read through my notes. This time, I actually did 4 years of practice papers! Haha... I'm so proud of myself.

Anyway, the paper got off to a bad start. The teacher started us too soon, only after we had time to write our names on the question paper. I felt there wasn't enough time for us to relax yet. And, he forgot to remind us to surrender our handphones, so he was still talking even after the paper started.

Then, Li Yue started complaining to the teacher about the air-con. She wanted to switch it off cos she was too cold, but it was really quite hot. Then, after some more commotion, the teacher asked Clarissa to change places with her. It was so, so irritating! The teacher sounded super irritated with her too! After the paper, Li Yue said it was because the aircon was blowing directly at her head and it was giving her a headache. I guess that's quite a valid reason, but it was seriously very distracting!

I couldn't do the first question, and I got a little afraid. I skipped to the second one, but some how, my brain couldn't focus and tell me the answer. I roughly knew how to do it, but my brain just couldn't click.

So, I decided that I would jump to another section of the paper that I would probably be more confident in. I started at question 9. And from there, things went quite smoothly.

For the option question, I did OR first, but somehow I got stuck so I did EITHER.

Then, I went back to do the questions in front. I didn't know how to do 3 questions, but luckily I figured all of them out after I finished the others. I had time to check and I'm really pleased with the paper. So far I knew how to do all the questions, and I haven't had any wrong answers. After the paper, the teacher told us the answer to the complex numbers question cos he saw some of us using long division. I got the correct answer and that was actually one of the question I had trouble with, so I'm glad I got it right.

Hope paper 2 on Thursday would be great too.

Tomorrow's Chem paper 3. It's only less than 12 hours away! So little time, so much to study...
