Still breathing...

A breather finally after 4 intensive days of exams for 5 papers.

Still, 1 last paper in 3 days time.

The first 5 papers have been moments of ups and downs...

The first paper has brought some panicking even before the start, not because of going to take my first exam for Sem 2 but because the bus i took was moving slowly in heavy traffic and eventually reaching about 8 minutes after the start of paper.

The second paper was too tedious to finish on time, unless one really knows his/her work very well.

The third paper i have s/u-ed, but despite that i still wrote a lot for the 3 essay questions. Maybe it is due to the nature to write good essays with at least 3 points? Sometimes i wonder if we were to take A level GP paper now, can we actually finish the essay in less than 1 hour, in view of how Arts modules have trained us to do 3 or 4 essays of length 3 to 4 pages in 2 hours?

The fourth paper was quite relaxed because it was simply open-booked MCQ and armed with the mindset that we won't know how to do, so let's just tikam them. Hence i didnt study much and did the paper as though i didnt take the module before - the questions looked so stranger to me. Despite having 6-minute limit per question, ended up spending most of the time reading the notes/textbook before answering/tikam-ing, and that was what people sitting around me were doing also as i observed. And i did learn something new as i read. Ha. But as expected, calculation questions proved to be incomprehensible and showed no hints to which equations we could use. Most people simply skipped and tikam.

The fifth paper i have s/u-ed too. People started leaving after 1 hour, but i only finished after 1 hour and 20 minutes. But i didnt want to leave yet. And i actually felt asleep during the last 10 minutes while waiting for the time to be up and collection of paper.

Ah... seems like 5 papers gone so fast..

Counting down...

3 days to holiday!!
