Disaster Paper

Oh dear. Very big oh dear. The physics paper today was an unmitigated disaster. It was terribly difficult. The questions, especially that bl__dy little question on the terminal velocity of a ball, and those idiot chemical equations. I don't know where I am going to hide my face after this terrible paper's results appear. Most unfortunate.

Uh well, at least the Lang Arts B was easy enough. It was actually quite fun writing the commentary, and it's very nice of Dave Ivan to provide what is essentially an answer key and ask us to copy it down one week before the exam. Well to be precise, the theme for the last commentary was extremely similar to question A in the exam.

Also, we had Dheepa and Turrance for invigilators again. In the Physics paper we were supposed to attach the writing paper to the back of the question paper with the string provided, except that there were no holes on the question paper. So Turrance said: "Here's the string, you go do your fiddling and stuff. I think there are supposed to be holes, but unless they are microscopic..." Ms Suseela had a different approach: "Here's the string, good luck"

Also, Jia Yuan left his calculator in his bag during the Physics paper, and asked Turtance if he could go take it, after the paper started. Turrance took approx. 5 min to decide, with a lot of "hmm.."s and finger counting... :)

Well, one last paper tomorrow, Chinese paper two. Half my friends couldn't care less about it and are now celebrating today, but I think I will try and study for it. Wish me luck just one last time! :)
