Exams!

While most of my friends are rejoicing because their finals are officially over, I have to wait til Saturday. I still have MATH. =( Daymnn. Lol. In a way, it's good because I have like a 2-day holiday from now to study for the exam. I'm really hoping to nail it this time. I've never been good at Calculus... same went to Addmath when I was in high school. And I noticed a thing about Addmath teachers.. no offence, but they're horrible.

I remember I was doing SO badly in Form 4 so in Form 5, my friend introduced me to a supposedly "excellent" Addmath tutor. But the tutor turned out to be some cranky old woman who expected all her students to be BRILLIANT people. She used to scold me every time I asked her a question about Addmath and ever since then, I began to dread Addmath and her classes even more. The reason I stayed on was because deep down inside of me, I felt this small little flame of hope flickering there that she might be able to transform my low grade into a higher one. But she never liked me, I think. I was always struggling in Addmath... and she was always scolding me for my mistakes. 0.o Wth right. Haha. Maybe she was PMS-ing la. Or probably it could be signs of menopausal. =.= Whatever. I'm just GLAD that I did not FAIL my Addmath in SPM, and that I didn't have to see her again. "Excellent" tutor... yeah right.

I had two exams today - Macroeconomics and Religion. I slept at 2 am last night while studying Macro. So this morning when I reached college, I was like.. "econs... whatever laa.. i'm so sleepy" 10 minutes into the exam, one of my classmates walked out. She couldn't do the subjective part of the exam, I guess. And as for me, I just wanna hit my head on the wall right this very instant.

Our paper was divided into 3 sections: A, B and C. A is the objective part, B is the structural part and C is the essay part. Usually we're required to only pick one essay... I mean, that's how it went for my other papers. I thought I was doing okay. I finished my essay about 30 minutes before 10am. So.. I relaxed a bit, and because I was sooo tired, I decided to take a brief nap. Then I checked my essays... all done. Good. I looked at the clock... 9.55 am. I smiled. In 5 minutes, this would all be over. And that was when my eyes fell upon this: Section C - Answer any TWO of the questions below.

Oh. Crap.

I only did one. How could I overlook TWO written in dark, bold letters?! So I was rushing to write the last essay... and I'd only reached my 7th line of the first paragraph when the examiner demanded us to stop writing. And before I knew it, my paper was being collected. =.= Shyt. That whole essay was worth 20 marks. How could I have been so careless?! :(

Anyway, I didn't have much time to mope about it. I still had another exam in 4 hours and I had to study. So I went to the Starbucks right outside my college with Kye Le and ordered a hot Caramel Machiato. I finished 7 chapters in 2 and a half hours! :) Hehe. Anyway, it was seriously hard to study in Starbucks because of the music. I thought nice lil' cafes like Starbucks would play soothing music like Kenny G or something... but no. Even Dana who popped in at 12.30, left around 1 because she couldn't stand the music. It was a mixture of congos, drums, electric guitars, opera singers, etc. I spent half the time wishing they would PUT ON A DIFFERENT CD. The Starbucks in Taipan is so much better =D

I have a dilemma now. I don't know which subjects to apply for next semester. Philo? Micro? Public speaking? And besides, I'm still so undecided on my university! It's best to start narrowing the options now, so that I can refer to the uni's study plan to choose my subjects... but I'm vacillating between Nebraska, Missouri and New York. I used Google Earth yesterday and googled up Nebraska... hmmm it was okay la. Lots of greeneries. Then I googled Missouri... and it's just lots of BROWN patches around the university which I was planning to go to. Not a single mall in sight! And finally I tried New York... and that place is bustling with tall buildings, busy roads... unlimited shops... but New York? Dunno la. =/

Gee. I wish time would just freeze for a moment so that I could think. Every second steals another moment of the day.
