Oh! What can I say. Exams have started. It has been like a battle. Exams are challenging and I like challenges, but not when I do not have sufficient time to prepare for it. This time, prelims does help me. It got me into the exam mode, something which I felt at O-levels. It told me that A-levels is not as simple as I thought and more importantly, it forced me to study way before the real thing starts. I wonder what will I be doing now if there were no prelims. I am a lazy and last-minute person, this I must admit. I like to wait until things become important and urgent before I act.
I have just scraped through both physics and chem papers. Physics was still ok, but chem was madness. It's not that it's exceptionally difficult. Problem is I didn't have enough time to revise everything again before the day of exam. My phy paper ended at 5 yesterday. By the time I started studying, it was already 7. I slept at 12 but still couldn't finish. Chemistry covers just too many topics and most of them requires some memory work here and there. As a result, Those topics which I should have no problems doing gave me problems instead. I needed more practice, and I will have to do it before the real test starts.
Today Shao Rong said if we do badly in prelims, we will have to be enlisted in April. My first reaction was like what the heck! Enlist with those bengs whom I will definitely not 'click' with? Won't I be bullied the daylights out of me then.. *chuckle* Anyway, April is too late. What do I do during the time when my friends have been enlisted and my enlistment date then? Just rot at home I suppose. I really hope I do not do badly enough to fall into this category. Anything can happen and I'm going to make sure that only what I wan to happen happens.
I am already mentally drained after 2 days of exams. Yesterday, I was forcing bits of infomation into my brain. I do have a good memory, but not a photographic one. At least now I can relax a little now that I've studied most of subjects. I still feel kind of uneasy though, it's like anything can come out and I did not study practically everything. Still, confidence comes from practice. I have a whole month for that after prelims. A-levels: Here I come!
