Finally, some peace, quiet and repose. Whew. I desperately need to rant about Promo 1 so far. Please pardon me. Literature P1(Reading Literature) on Monday. What more do i have to say? Unseen poem? Hard to analyse. Wasted a precious 10 minutes deciding which question to choose. Which was pointless eventually anyway, since both questions were around the same difficulty. Wuthering Heights? I thought doing the critical commentary question will be easier, but it didn't turn out that way. Surprisingly, the question on The Birthday Party was the easiest to tackle (And this was the component i was getting all worked up about). To sum it all up : BYE B GRADE, HI E GRADE -.- Economics P2(Essay Qns) yesterday. This wasn't so bad at least. Time management wise was good, and i felt that i could answer all the questions sufficiently. With some luck, and assuming that they don't decide to torture us for case study, i should be able to get at least a C or a D grade, or hopefully, maintain my B grade. Geography P1 (Physical Geography) today. This is the most heartbreaking to talk about. The essay questions were fairly manageable (If only i had more time to spruce up my answers -.-). DRQs 1,2 and 3 were still quite okay, except that i forgot the definition for carbonation and solution for Qn 3, and couldn't draw my mid-oceanic spreading ridge properly for Qn 1. ................QN 4 WAS THE ULTIMATE. EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND DANDY UNTIL THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF THE PAPER, WHEN I REALISED THAT I DIDN'T MAKE USE OF THE INSERT TO ANSWER PART (B). DAMMIT. THAT'S 3 OUT OF 5 MARKS GONE FOR NOTHING JUST LIKE THAT. WORST CASE SCENARIO, 0 MARKS FOR THAT PART. OUT OF 5 MARKS. EXCELLENT JOB ROU URN. SUCH A CLEVER THING YOU DID. Thank goodness the remaining 2 parts just asked us to explain and account for the differences in interception rates in temperate deciduous forests and subtropical forests, which wasn't really related to part (b). And luckily, my Secondary 4 Pure Geography came into use (for once) when determining the precipitation and evaporation rates of temperate and tropical areas. Yes, i did it WITHOUT THE INSERT. If only the question asked us to cite data from the evidence, then i would have remembered to refer back to the insert. Sigh. I just penalised myself for nothing. Oh, did i mention? BYE A GRADE. I knew you were too good to be true. I'll be lucky to pass this time round. After the paper, i was lamenting my silly mistake to anyone who was willing to listen. That sums up my sucky experience so far. I can just picture Mdm Shamala and Mr Toh's evil expressions when filling up my paper with red crosses. I should seriously throw myself off a cliff now. Oh, don't even mention cliffs to me now. I'll claw your skin off. Cliffs=Geography. Papers left : H1 Math, Geography P2 (Human Geography), Economics P1 (Case Study), and Literature P5 (Women in Literature) I think the only thing today that gave me some enjoyment was giving someone the cold shoulder. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. He looked like he had just been slapped. Or maybe i shouldn't be so proud of myself. My careless mistake was perhaps a form of retribution -.- Seriously, we can't even express ourselves freely nowadays. Life sucks man.
