Today i managed to finish up a 25 mark Economics Essay question, as well as revise Taming of the Shrew and do an essay outline regarding Katherina's soliloquy. Thinking that i probably haven't reached snooze mode yet, i decided to press on ahead with an Economics Case Study.

Wrong move.

I was about to complete it when i realised that all my answers were chockful of mistakes. I didn't differentiate between current account balance (in US$ billion) and current account balance (as % of GDP). I knew that the statistic they gave was real GDP growth (in %), but for some unknown reason, my entire 8 mark question answer was full of 'real GDP' and not 'real GDP growth'. Which undoubtedly made my ENTIRE answer irrelevant.

Lessons learnt?

1. LOOK at ALL data carefully before attempting the questions
2. Don't be so anxious to start answering. ANALYSE FIRST
3. Always look back at the question to ensure that you're giving them what they want

Despite feeling really humiliated at my own stupidity, i guess this was a valuable lesson learnt, and a reminder for me to rid myself of the bad habit of jumping straight into a question without analysing it first. Hmm...i wonder what could have happened if i didn't decide to give this particular case study a second look and just stash it away?

Unthinkable.

Integration is giving me a headache. I'm going to bug Mr Sim to teach me tomorrow (: Hope to start on Probability by this Saturday. Yuck. I hate Statistics.

Yes, another 3 hours of leadership challenge tomorrow, and more NEC stuff after that.
