Almost the end...

2 days ago was math and lit paper....
Came at 7am to revise lit with some other guys and to niao the 7 math exam takers in the class....

Then revised literature till 11....it started to go crazy when a number of guys joined us during te 9-10 am period...

Overheard that the mainstream lit syllabus were much easier...
Instead of unseen poem, they know the poem coming out and practically the questions....

Short story and novels I can't compare anyway...
ours was flowers for algernon and animal farm...
mainstream had lamb to the slaughter and village by the sea...

Literature test was still okay.....
Couldn't really understand the essay question though:
"Do you think that a real friend is one who walks in when the world walks out?Discuss with specific evidence from the short story."
I think i misunderstood it, nvm, what's over is over anyway...

Yesterday was english paper 2 and history paper...
I can't believe I slept on thu afternoon cos I was reading history...guess I wasn't that interested...

Anyway, the english paper was somehow quite easy, easier compared to the ones our english teacher normally give...

Then 0945-1045 was everybody's chionging time....all revising history, shooting rapid fire questions at each other, pecking at others with questions, asking someone to test.....
I can't describe it all but one word says it...."chaos"..LOL!

History was like so-so, at least the stuff I came out I managed to revise during the "chaos" timeslot...
Suprisingly, the section I am most worried about is MCQ cos they asked for specific details, which I suck and will probably fail the MCQ...

That was another hard paper gone....

Today's IMO test was HHHAARRDD!!!!!

There were 4 questions and 3 hrs, dun think that 3 hrs is very long....
The teacher said if we could finish before 3 hrs can hand up and leave...
I think only one guy did.....
I only managed to solve 2......in 3 HOURS!!!

I'll give an example to show the difficulty...
Warning:
MTG (math teacher guidance), unsuitable for those who go screaming and hiding in corners after looking at super-hard math questions...
(Given any positive integer d, prove that at least one of 2d-1, 5d-1, 13d-1 is not a square) seems easy but i didn't solve it in time.....

Take home test could only solve qns 2-8, qn 1 i didn't manage to solve, neither did some of my friends...
Looked at the answer at almost wanted to smack myself in the face.....

Almost forgot one more exam....my keyboard grade 5 practical....
I think I had a post on this already...
My result was......94%!!!
Too happy to be true...
And my teacher expected higher cos I made a few stupid mistakes....

So now left one more paper.....Chinese paper 2.....
Not much use preparing for it anywayz, except for maybe the cheng yu...

Good news: ALMOST FREEDOM, LESS THAN 2 DAYS!!!
Bad news: Need to go back for band soon.....
I think I need to get my band teacher's approval ASAP so that maybe I can quit b4 the practising starts (I hv actually 4gotten most of band cos been focusing on exams too much) and so that I can go for ec3 instead....I miss going to ec3.....
Band I've been going in the morning till last week.......
Ec3 teacher had already approved of me, now the hard part is to convince my band teacher to release me ASAP altho I think she may be a little reluctant cos I'm the only one playing my instru.....

Can't think abt that now, next week is the checking of papers where I'll know my results.......WISH ME LUCK!!! (And all of you too)
