Oh gosh, the last three weeks have been so hectic...
Today was Social Studies. Erm, luckily for me, both Sri Lanka and Northern Ireland as well as Iraq-Kuwait came out... It should come as no surprise to those who know me that I chose the latter. SBQ was pretty screwed. I forgot how to do usefullness! Who forgets something after studying it that very morning?? Put it doen to exam nerves. I was the least prepared for SS out of all my exams. Aaargh.. But I just did cross-referencing and critical analysis of provenance in the end.
So far the exams have been pretty good and bad. The physics paper was a disaster. My prediction for physics after seeing our Prelim paper was correct. I think the teachers could have prepared us a little better for it. Yes, challenging questions should be set. But not to such an extent that it exceeds O-level standards by so much. The O-level physics paper was simpler than the Prelims, and I think that was my undoing. Instead of being asked to prove complicated things about heat capacity, we were asked to state the definition of a vector quantity, and were expected to know things like the size of an atom (which I admit is rubbish). Pity those things weren't reinforced in us before we went for the exam.
Geography too. We were never really taught how to look at pictures and answer questions, and it led to me being totally filled with self-doubt during the exam. Should I rely entirely on the picture? Or should I write about other things as well? But, for the first time in my Geographical life, I actually finished the paper! This compared to last years SA2s when I left thirty percent blank, or this year's prelims where I didn't do an entire LORMs question. So, pretty much okay.
The other subjects were pretty much routine. Not that thats an indicator of me doing well, just that what the teachers had prepared us for came out. Especially Amaths, where after we finished paper 1, Mrs. Tee looked at the paper, predicted the things they would set for us in Paper 2 and went running around the school passing us a list of all the possible topics. She really should have won this year's caring teacher award! :)
But the biggest hurdle is left to be crossed. Lit girls, you know what I'm talking about. Will we jump over the hurdle with ease, or collapse, falling to the ground in our efforts to triumph?
Literature!
Oh, how I love you, yet despair of you at the same time.
The other day I was at my friends house studying, and I was talking about how scared I was for lit and all. She's taking H2 Lit so I guess she knew what I was talking about. She held the Fahrenheit 451 book in front of her face, and started talking, pretending to be the book. You know what she said?
"Love me, hate me, its still an obsession."
An obsession which I can do well in, I hope. --------------------
Oh, and I have another favourite quote stuck in my head..
"Because..... I'm Chuck Bass."
I swore I'd never watch Gossip Girl yet I caved in after the prelims. Dumb as Serena may be, the series is enjoyable.. if only because of Chuck and Blair. Is it just me or does Chuck's way of speaking remind you April Chye? Haha. Probably just me.
And they released a promo video for one of the episodes for Season 2....
While this coonclusively proves that the morals Gossip Girl preaches are not to be followed, oh gosh, I can't wait to start season 2 when the O's are over! I know Nat and Xianwen I think aren't gonna watch it until O's are over too, but I think I'm going to cave in soon...
