AS exams begin in 3 1/2 weeks, so I am in full study mode.
OK, not really la, but I am trying my best.
So-called study leave is just two days. Two days between the weekend and my first exam on Wednesday. I cannot believe they are calling that a study leave.
And somehow, during this major exam period, classes will still be in session. Imagine trying to focus learn next semester's material while half your mind is on next day's, possibly future-defining, exam.
And for the second year in a row, I have another exam on my birthday. This time the exam is Chemistry. The good news is that it's the second last exam.
Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to deal with it, won't I...
Just saying that so I won't sound like an emotional ranting adolescent :)

Post-Results Reactions
Alright, so I finished my trials a few weeks ago and this is what my results look like:
General Paper: 76
Maths: 78 (Pure Maths: 65/75) (Statistics: 33/50)
Physics: 45 (haha)
Chemistry: 73 (1 mark from an A!)
Biology: 72 (2 marks from an A!)
So it's glaringly obvious that Physics was a disaster and then some, isn't it? To be honest, I was terrified I was going to fail (passing mark is 40), so this is a huge, HUGE relief. Most importantly, my scholarship won't be revoked by the college.
Overall though, I am slightly disappointed because I know I can do better than what I did for these exams. Except maybe for physics , which makes me want to yell and pull out my hair almost every time I try doing exercises. But I have to be optimistic, so I'll try saying it again:
I KNOW I CAN DO BETTER. There, I hope that was more convincing. AND my actual exams start in 3 weeks, so optimism is a very good thing to have at the moment.
Right, so on to something else.
Looking back at previous posts, I realize that the only things I talk about consists of studying, college, exams, and more studying. So from now on, I am going to try, well, to put it bluntly, less boring. There are aspects of my life not related to my studies, after all. Being a little more personable couldn't hurt either, I suppose. Not to mention adding posts a little more frequently.
On a slightly related note, however, I don't think the number readers of this blog go beyond the double digits. haha...
And on a completely unrelated note, 1 1/2 years after I registered for Facebook, I have finally taken the step to respond (or ignore) the increasing number of requests on my profile. 312 requests, I wonder if that's some kind of world record...
So that's it for now, I will try to be back soon (key word here is try).
