one down; four to go.

after a certain amount of fear and trepidation, my foundation mathematics paper is finally over.



at the beginning of the semester, perhaps it was due to a lack of interest and lack of understanding, but this module was one of the modules for which i feared i would fail and re-take next semester.



but during the light-weight mugging sessions prior to the quiz, i managed to grasp a little of the part on statistics, thus reducing my chances of scoring a big fat 0, by 50%.



after the statistics and probability lectures were over, calculus took over and for the second time in my life (first time was in poly), i am profoundly happy that i took a-maths in secondary school. differentiation and integration thus did not seem that alien or unfamiliar to me, like statistics or the rest of the calculus chapters covered such as matrices and vectors.



after today's paper, i can be sure that i will not score, but at the same time, i do not think i will fail, though the possibility of that happening is still frightfully high.



well. one can only move on in the face of adversity.



such as sleeping.



such as sheer lack of understanding.



such as red alert 3.

studying

<rant>


studying has to be the worst form of torture any student can endure.


c'mon, eating books and regurgitating them onto the exam scripts? hasn't anyone heard of google nowadays?


</rant>


<mug></mug>



exams suck. period.

it doesn't seem much too long ago that i was having my FOC in NTU, having fun and enjoying it while it lasted.



now, with exams coming up on friday, fear and uncertainty clouds my mind. fear of not being able to pass the module, coupled with the uncertainty of my own understanding of the various modules makes me worry for my own future in NTU.



damn.



personal resolution: if i manage to scrape thought this semester, i'll never procrastinate and leaving revising for the last damn minute.



grr.
