Rain after papers everyday and I still don't bring my umbrella

Hahas.. no school again today coz again no paper. Rather, it's that I've finished all my papers already. Last paper Chem was yesterday. A quick review of my papers...

First paper was GP before the hols started. GP paper was not too bad. Did a question on Environment and was quite satisfied with it. Hope to score well for it and keep up with Mrs Fadzleen's expectations.

Second paper was physics on the Friday on the last week of the June hols. As I've had little practice on Physics (ie. I haven't been doing my tutorials), this paper was really tough for me. Could do some of the questions which required open- ended answers and definitions but most of the calcuclation questions were GG for me. Hoping to at least get a passing grade for this paper and I've really got to work much harder for my physics in the coming months.

On Tuesday, I had Econs paper. I think I did okay for the Case Study section and answered the Essay question pretty well. Should be able to get good grades for my Econs paper, unless I get an "IR" for the Essay section. Hoping not to get that of course!

Wednesday was a killer. Had my chinese papers 1 and 2, chinese listening compre and Maths papers all in one day. Had listening compre first thing in the day and I was glad that I had a chance to take a paper in the hall. Well, due to having extended timing, I am having all my other papers in a classroom F1- 47. The hall was air conditioned for the exam (something I've missed out). Well, one can't have too much of a good thing, right?
After a short rest of 30 mins, it was Chinese Papers 1 & 2. Altogether 3 hours straight without any rest. After the extra time was added, it became a 3hour 45 min paper, almost 4 hours! As I needed time to revise for my Maths paper later, I requested to leave early should I finish the papers early, thinking that it shouldn't be a problem to finish off early. However, I changed my mind when I got to paper 2. Paper 2 was so difficult, unlike any of the practices I've done before. In the end, I fully utilised the 3hours 45mins to salvage what I could for the chinese paper and left for a 20min break before Maths.
As I didn't have much practice for Maths as well ( totally have not touched Functions and Inequalities), I faced problems again for my Maths paper. Again after adding the extra time, the Maths paper lasted more than 3 hours. All in all, it was almost 7 over hours straight of exams with little rest. Really drained after that.

Thursday was my last paper, Chemistry. Having done more practices and having had more time to read up on it, I felt more confident for this paper. That is, with the exception of Chem Energetics and Equilibrium. Majority of the questions seemed easy to me, some required some thinking and a few just could not be done. All in all, still not too bad, should be able to get quite good grades.

Think I've really got to plan a study schedule for myself for the coming months before the promos. Really got to buck up.
Even with the extended timing I am still having so much trouble with the papers, seriously..
Going back to KSS later in the evening for Cultural Fiesta. Meeting up with John, Eugene and Zhao Wei first for dinner.


And its been raining everyday after my papers and I still didn't bring my umbrella. The result is of course, a drenched me every evening when I get home.
