Half a month is gone and i'm back!


Exams came like a whirlwind and left like one too! Haha my exams are NOT over YET. 3 papers down and there's 3 more to go. Econs paper wasn't THAT terrifying. It goes without saying that i'm clueless on certain questions but because 20% of the questions evolved one way or another from past year exams question, i was able to do them. However i have to bear in mind that able to do them and doing them CORRECTLY is different issues all together. So in a nutshell all i can say is just let me pass the paper!

Statistics1 & 2 papers are the worse that i ever had. If we are able to use our scientific calculators (ie our secondary school and JC calculators), we will seriously have no problem securing a pass. BUT BUT BUT this year university of london decided to ban scientific calculators and make us use only BASIC CALCULATORS!! You know the type where your mum goes market buy fish and the uncles use that to punch in the values? The type where there's only (+) (-) (/) and (*) sign ONLY. No square sign okay.


I actually thought it was a joke at first. How can a Statistics student NOT use scientific calculator you tell me? The missing square function in basic calculator is enough to kill us all. It was a herculean task trying to multiply, add, substract and then square root a string of numbers using THAT thing. I checked, re checked and re re checked my answers and i got different answers for all 3 tries!! Like totally WTH can.


For all you know maybe for my statistic modules in year 3 i have to use abacus!


This calculator issue can keep me talking to myself for hours, and talking to my friends for days. All of us are going to write in and give our angry two cents' worth to the university after exams. I hope they feel remorseful and decided to add 10 marks to every paper. Muahha!


Ok so 3 more papers to go. 2 math papers on Mon and i will be left with 9 days to study for my banking&finance paper. YippppeE! And of course knowing myself, i will declare a unofficial holiday after monday! I will use that 9 days to pack my room, watch spidey man3, tan myself (i look like vampire now!!) and go exercise also! My tumming is growing at an alarming rate! How disgusting right. Oh oh of course i have to study too ahhaha forgot the most important thing to do.



After Mon i shall post pictures of my exam venue : EXPO HALL 7. The hall is so so friggin enormous ok. Plus the air con is like superbly cold. You can actually hear the sound of the aircon howling while everyone was scribbling away during exams. You have to be there to know how scary it feels too. Sitting among some 5000 students doing the exams like your life depended on it. I almost wetted my pants on the first day. But thats partly because i drank too much H2O too muhahaha.



Anyway i'm basically feeling quite relax now. The 3 papers are like a big big burden cuz i'm never good at stats. I'm a newbie at econs so naturally i will be scared of it too! I guess i stayed up too late everynight that the weariness is starting to creep into me. I just slept for 4 hours upon reaching home and im still sleepy now, despite drinking tea! Examinations can be so draining. I feel that i have aged quite alot recently. Must go apply anti-aging cream later. Not to forget anti-pimples cream hahah.



Alrights time to go tata
