ugh school [really] starts tomorrow.
and my PW is screwed.

and really I should be doing GP right now - owe him what either 14 or 16 articles. so actually I've spent the whole evening cutting up a month's worth of straits times. but haven't actually gotten round to writing the stuff yet. ugh. what a waste of time.
but then again GP is only on wednesday!

so tomorrow is just lecture spam - 4 lectures in a row in 4 different LTs whee.

anyway how were CTs...
chem was screwed cos I took 10 min to do the first 2 MCQs and then chionged the rest in 15 min then went back to redo the first 2 questions ._. I so cannot do mole concept MCQs ._. And I screwed up my first structured question. mainly cos I kept freaking out after the MCQ mess. oops.
so chem was quite sucky and I nearly ran out of time [cos I forgot the paper started 5 min late].

geog was bad - well physical was ok just that I didn't see the word formation in part b so I wonder if they'll take marks off for that. but human was utter rubbish mainly cos I was being incoherent and I didn't think through my essay and I was smoking a bit too much. and I ran out of time. yay.

math was decent. somehow I managed to get the probability right even though my method for 8iii was atrocious - it took up an entire page and involved fractions with 6 digits in the numerator and 18P6 in the denominator lol.
but after that disgustingly long working I actually got the question correct. hint it involved counting 6 cases with 6 fractions for each case. zzz.
and so far the only thing that I screwed up in math was writing 30.1 people and then deciding to cancel the .1 - but then again all but one person in the class wrote 30 ._. and I suspect some of my graphs were dodgy. but who cares.

physics was crap. cos I wasted too much time on the MCQs. but somehow most of my answers were correct except that I didn't quite understand how I got them. cos I meshed all the topics together. oops. but at least only got 2 wrong [I think]. structured was a mess though - forgot my definitions, screwed up the people standing on a cart question and the crane thingy - just placed the pivot in a convenient location instead of where it'd actually fall. lol. but it's physics! which I will never ever understand in my entire life! somehow I'm just able to do the questions ._.

ok oh but CT period is actually quite fun cos what I'll do is like go to the [RI] library which is nice and empty and quiet and has sofas like at 8am and then sit there and mug [on the same day as the paper of course]. and then maybe fall asleep. or read something random. so I'll be like in the library until 10 or 11 [i.e. when I get hungry] and then off to the [RJ] canteen and then camp there until the papers start. lol.

so friday woke up late went to school to help settle humans quiz then had a meeting with OWL then rushed down to dhoby for a post-CT dinner. which was quite interesting just that turnout was 7 [22 - 7 scholars = 15 locals - guo and ewan at training, 3 in MIT, lightbulb at IYPT and zhiyuan in sydney and danieltay who ponned = 7 lol]. so talked quite a bit and walked about. but was a bit stone. lol.

then saturday off to darren's house to work on SLA. then got home slept at 0045 then woke up at 0430 to send mr lu off at the airport. problem with me is that I cannot estimate times properly [which is why I'm usually either late or 20-30 min early for things - usually the latter XD] so I ended up at the bus stop at 0515. And the first bus was only supposed to arrive at 0537. anyway reached airport at 0610 thereabouts and ziyang came at 0620 so like since his flight leaves at 0845 we reasoned that they should be at the airport already - but no he only showed up at 7 ._. yay.

so after that went to darren's house for SLA again in the afternoon and stayed over. so got home about 11am today. and even though I slept close to 6 hours the previous night I ended up sleeping until 2pm or so.

ok then what did I do in the afternoon oh I read a book. then I spent the evening cutting out newspapers. when actually I should have been wrapping up the SLA stuff. which is still lying undone. and there's GP due on wed and yay I now have 5x chem lectures a week.

zzz chem O is now mon/wed/thurs. and like they condense/spam everything and wty expects us to do the tutorials and stuff. argh.

I'm a slacker. damn.
