Still mugging
>> Saturday, September 16, 2006
Yesterday's test on electricity made me realise how little i know. Din study at all and practically scribbled answers mindlessly. Everyone was so excitingly discussing about the questions...
Knowing that you know less than others is bad..
You know, not long ago, my brother was encouraging me to take up 2 H3 just like those "super-genius-smart-intelligent-mugger-hardworking-clever-martin" students (or for now, "PRC" for short) who took 2 S-Papers. Although 8 years ago, he himself only took 3 A Lvl subjects, in which he regretted now. He wanted me to surpass him, but i told him i am not that smart either. He says it is these people that gets the scholarship and have the chance to go to prestigious college in UK, USA.
But actually, my ambition was just to get into NUS or NTU.
However, I thot taking 1 H3 will be good. A science H3 may be useful for the future.
I know its not easy. Even yutse advised me not to think so much about taking H3. (thank you) But i want to try. I don't want to finish Promos like Block tests...
Promos start 1 week later. GP and Econs are on the first day, followed by Chem and Physics then Maths after the weekend.
GP depends alot on luck now. To be lucky enough not to get my papers marked by Nimamala Ong. She gave me 21 for 3 consecutive essays. I think my essay writing skill is real bad actually. You have to back up all your opinions with examples, statistics, reasoning, logic. Its not like blogging. I am free to make 1000 sweeping statements in my blog and no one is going to underline it and write "sweeping statement" and i am free to any-o-how use words or scold bad words without being marked as "wrong word".
For economics, I have reserved 2 40 minutes revision time everyday, which is during before and after school, on the bus. But i seriously need time to understand all the costs graphs in market structures. It feels good to study on the bus and have curious auntie and banglas looking at what you are reading, which is full of words and chim graphs.
Chemistry is fine. At least chemistry questions are more rigid and logical. But yutse's ability in explaining chemistry concepts which is 滔滔不绝 make me feel so noob.
Physics I am still stuck in the middle, and need to get the concepts of Electricity right. And physics like to ask all sorts of questions too. Have to apply the right formula, manipulate the equations, cross reference equations. Very chim.
Maths has the least topics, but the questions are the most flexible. And I dunno why i can think of ways to niao people in seconds, but cant even twitch my brain a little bit to tackle out-of-the-norm questions.
I am forcing myself to buck up in this last week. Including forcing myself not to lie on the bed because i will sleep, and make the lights brighter so that i don't get drowsy. I am way off behind schedule and theres no time to lose.
Everyone (almost) is under stress now. But you are not the only one! And its only going to last for 2 more weeks!
After the promos, I can watch all the movies that i downloaded, watch animes, go out to watch movies, continue on my perth recollections, play ball, make countless babies in Sims 2 (boon keeps telling me about this), slack, and SLEEP!
After the promos, i will be
