[1: cut a hole in a box]
AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. That is a long sigh of relief for those of you having trouble reading onomatopoeic words. Been running on adrenaline for the past couple of hours.
Just finished my last paper. Can't tell how relieved I am right now. Electromagnetism and Relativity (Advanced) is one hell of a subject. Electromagnetism that is taught is first year seems like kindie. 90% of the lectures presented, you won't understand a thing. When you get back home, you tried to revise what in the earth is the lecturer talking about, it's hopeless. Divergence and curls make the world go around, wrong. It turned my world upside down. When you get to SWOT vac, you try again but still to no avail. 2 days before the exams and your failure is imminent if you do not act. You turn to past year exams and start remembering how to do the question. I personally hate rote learning, but desperate times calls for desperate measures.
After subuh today, I pored over the solutions for the hundredth time hoping that it will stick. Hope is a double edged sword. After breakfast and 2 stronger than usual cups of coffee, I started to have panic attacks. The butterflies in my stomach started to turn violent, flapping their wings ferociously. They might have turned into lizards. I was scared shitless. That was only a figure of speech as I went in and out of the bathroom 5 times in about 10 minutes.
Come 830 I was ready to leave the house, promised to meet a friend. I had already walked for about 400m before I realised i did not bring along my calculator and pens. Brilliant, just brilliant. Ran back, no more strolling to the REB, met Rob, tried to get ourselves psyched, tell a few lame jokes, curse everything at large (he did most of the cursing, he's an expert) , went in the hall, did the exams, BANG, done, finished, let's get the hell out of here.
Looking back, the exams wasn't so bad. If we were given 8 hours and be allowed to bring in the notes, books and even a tutor, I'm pretty sure H1 is not out of reach. Alas, it was not to be.
Lame joke of the day:
Idiot: So, what's your plan after this?
Jeenyus: Perhaps doing the part before part B?
Idiot: What is before part B?
Jeenyus: Partaayy.
A bunch of baloney.
