Long Time No Blog
Wow. It's been so long since I blogged. I can never understand how some people can update their blogs daily. I admire those people. I'm always too lazy to update my blog. :D So today, I shall do what I was supposed to do... update!
(p/s: feeling extra chipper today 'cos had a fun time with some new pals... haven't met anyone fun for quite a while... or maybe it was that cocktail i had??)
So.. this post will be about my exams. I wanted to summarize my posts into my long one, but decided otherwise. Some of my posts will have pictures, so I thought separating the posts will be better.
I'll be writing in point form, as I am lazy, and bullet points are fun! (or so I say)

Exams, exams, exams!!
1st exam: 29 Oct, 2.15pm-5.30pm. ENGLISH. 3 sections, 4 essays: poetry (1 essay), novellas (2 essays), plays (1 essay).
- totally unexpected questions. had assumed novellas as being the easiest section, with plays as the hardest, and poetry as in-between.
- turned out the plays section was the easiest, poetry the hardest, and novellas in-between.
- the poetry part is the worst! i didn't even know what to write! so i had to guess, and bullshit some parts along the way. hopefully my crap essay will be misinterpreted as 'insightful'.
2nd exam: 1st Nov, 9.15am-11.30am. PHILOSOPHY - HUMAN NATURE. 3 sections, 3 essays.
- was extra, extra worried. especially after seeing the questions. wanted to die there and then; dig a hole and bury myself; wished a time portal appeared and sucked me into an endless vortex... etc. basically? i wanted to give up. but i decided to stay and give a shot. after all, it's better than not trying at all, right? please, tell me i'm right. ppleeasse.
- 3 essays, 2 hours - whose shitty idea was that, huh?
- you know, i never liked this course anyway. my crappy essays have a valid reason to be crappy.
- i'm dead.
3rd exam: 2nd Nov, 9.15am-12.30pm. LINGUISTICS. 4 sections, 12 questions.
- was freaking worried before exam. lecturer's words ringing in my ears: "This year's exams will be much harder than before... much harder... much harder... much harder..." and also: "What topics will be tested on? Everything!" gee. thanks for the advice, sir.
- furiously studied the night before. took an energy drink at around 10pm to 11pm to stay awake. thought effect will wear off around 2am.
- 3.30am: crazily wide awake. forced self to sleep.
- luckily, managed to wake up at 6.30am. very energetic. effects of energy drink haven't worn off.
- exam was fantastic! the best so far! i actually knew the answers for nearly all the questions!
- that night, energy drink's effect worn off at around 10pm. that's like, 24 hours, man! now i know why students are so addicted to energy drinks and coffee during exam periods.
4th (and last!) exam: 11 Nov, 9.15am - 11.3oam. PHILOSPHY - ETHICS. 3 sections, 3 essays.
- thought might do well.
- proven wrong. mind went blank near end of exam all of a sudden. ideas flew out of my brain. last essay not finished. doomed!
- yet relieved last exam over. finally, i.. can... ... rest... ... ... Zzzzz.
i know that i have loved you ... at 2:27 AM
