Not Again
Oh man, got kind of screwed again for today's second paper. And I just realised, its not good that I keep saying this kinda things, I mean, I do not have many papers left and if this is gonna carry on, all my papers are going to be screwed! Saturday's paper was screwed because the tips were wrong, and questions were totally unexpected, but today's one was even more amazing. The lecturer told us in the final lecture that it would be question 1 compulsory, question 2 choose either one. And when I sat down at exam hall today, I saw the cover page, and almost raised my hand to say I got the wrong paper. The cover page wrote "This paper has 19 questions, Answer All Questions!" And only when I flipped open, then did I realise the first section was actually fill in the blanks, and the 2 essay questions followed at the back was compulsory.
Some of you must be thinking, fill in the blanks good right. But no way. I am also sure some of you will understand why. Now that there is fill in the blanks, the lecturer's words of "there will be no right or wrong" has just been negated, and the worst thing is that, if you have been told that there will be 2 essay questions, you would tend not to pay attention to the minor details of the notes and books. But there we go, all getting surprises again. I am starting to wonder how the rest of my papers will turn out. In the end, almost half of my fill in the blanks, were blanks. Oh dear oh dear.
Well, there are some consolations though. My group did well for our project, although I must say it was a little unexpected. Furthermore, the two papers which I considered the most challenging are over. Feeling a little more relieved now. Although I know that 2209 on wednesday will be challenging too, at least it saves me the trouble of the most hated factor of exams, and that is memorising. Its open book. Thursday's paper is MCQ, and Friday's is an SU module. Before I know it, the long awaited holidays will finally be here! Just some happy thoughts that will keep me going.
And one advice to all of you, please do not look back at your notes and books after the paper is over. IT IS OVER. If you look back at one of my entries not to long ago, I mentioned that one of my weakness is that I tend to brood over things that are over, so from last semester, I told myself that I will never look back to check if anything it right or wrong. But thanks to Josh who started flipping the notes, it ignited my weakness, as he alarmed me to the fact that I had one question whereby I knew the right answer, but wrote the wrong answer. As usual, its the case of "If Only".
