resurrected
i'm finally back from my not-so week long hiatus. the exams were brutal, especially with the festive season so near. what else can i say?
day 1 (13 dec)
chemistry was my first exam and it turned out easier than expected. but as usual, i dare not make any
predictions as for my midterm, though i found it easy, i did okay but not as well as i thought i would.
then, i was so sure my heart stopped pumping when i was sitting through my statistics exam. i think i can seriously flunk it. i hate it when MCQs have answers like 'I is correct', 'I and II are correct', blah blah. it sucks if you know one is definitely correct, but ain't too sure about another, and end up choosing making the wrong final answer.
day 2 (14 dec)
i rushed into the gym panicking. thankfully i wasn't the only one, but was the minority- a group of people coming late for the exam. it wasn't our fault; it snowed relatively badly the previous night, so buses were delayed. once the doors opened, i saw people running out of the bus into the gym (including me). it was hilarious, yet solemnly serious. people were already sitted at their desks waiting for us.
thankfully, the invigilators sort of knew this was coming. so we started half an hour later from the set time. but i was disorientated, since i had to catch my breath, and had no time for a quick recap. nevertheless, i'm hoping i did fine.
day 3 (16 dec)
i made sure i left house early to be at the examination venue on time. other than that, i don't really know how to describe the psychology exam itself.
day 4 (21 dec)
this is the one where i got so sick of the exam. having to spend the weekends so close to christmas in a house filled with people who finished their exams the last week, really sucks. having to write short answers for geography was more of a bullshit thing i suppose. but i really got stumped at certain questions.
it was kind of a bad day today overall. first, the geography exam. second, some bitch borrowed my pen and didn't return it. i know i should calm down, but that pen has sentimental value. i don't really know her well and i don't think i would see her anytime soon. even if i do see her, it's weird striking a conversation with "hey, you took my pen", right?
third, i was supposed to go to yorkdale mall with jessica to catch a movie and shop. i left the exam kind of early, so i waited outside the gym. i waited, and waited.. i had a feeling she may have left or didn't come. i wanted to call her, but realized i didn't have her number. in the end, i just went home after half an hour of waiting. then, i found out that jessica didn't even turn up for the exam as she was down with a high fever due to some viral infection or something. this sucks for her: she now has to petition for the school administrative board to allow her to take a make-up exam, otherwise..
so i came home, made some noodles and ate in front of the tv. and i watched 'E.T.'! OMG, it is one of my most favourite movies. i mean, i watched it a long time ago when i was young, so it had some kind of impact on me i suppose. this time, i watched the 20th anniversary edition, with restored scences, etc.. drew barrymore is so cute in the show. made me laugh. and the show made my had tears in my eyes too, again! the show is just classic film. "E.T. phone home". aaaawww..
anyway i'm glad the exams are over. time to relax and just have fun since christmas is here, with SNOW! i will enjoy myself watching animes, shopping and catching movies! weeee!!! (:
