LT4 is very cold.
i'm serious. you won't feel how cold it is by simply sitting in there for a lecture or two, but when you sit in there from 7.20 to 10.30, i'm think that you'll freeze. i was freezing just now. i was contemplating about giving up on that chemistry paper when it started to get really really cold. i looked hard at the questions & decided that i should give up when i started to shiver in the cold. so i spent the time trying to keep myself warm whilst looking around.
the chemistry test sucks. the questions were set in such a way that once you cannot produce the equation for part (a), the entire 10 marks is gone. the other parts were dependent on that equation. so i got stuck halfway through the paper. it was really really very tough. or maybe it was just me? but whatever it is, i'm definitely going to fail it. anyway, i didn't study very much for it. = X i only spent a little time looking at my tutorials & class assessment. but the questions for the test were nowhere near those tutorial & assessment questions, so i guess my studying was pretty useless.
the biology test was a tad better. i did study for that, all the alpha & beta glycosidic linkages, cellulose, H-bonds... at least the questions looked answerable.
the 2 tests are finally over. phew. i can't believe that i actually spent friday night mugging for these 2 subjects. just like last friday. they shouldn't set common tests on saturday mornings. friday nights are supposed to be the best time to relax, the end of a long week & the start to a weekend. they're depriving us of that!
went to NUS to do research for our project. i actually was in the Faculty of Medicine! goodness. we went to the medical library to look at the books & journals there. i accidentally stumbled onto the shelves of psychiatry & i took a look at the psychiatry books there. read this part about schizophrenia. i'm suddenly motivated to work very hard towards my medicine dream = X but our teacher aid was telling us about the quota & how it is better to major in psychiatry overseas. told mom just now. she was like "we shall see". = ] "we shall see" means that there is hope! lol. but regardless of whether i can go overseas to study or not, i really do want to study medicine. i guess it all depends on my O's results now. am feeling apprehensive again.
went down to jess's place to celebrate her birthday after that. there was food, food, & more food. i think that i've gained like 10 pounds? lol. i hope not. but anyway, jessica, if you're reading this, Happy Birthday! = ]
