day 1 and day 2

i have decidedly moved my countdown list to the front page of my blog for easy reference and moral boosting.

so, 3 down, 8 more to go. O_O
so far the papers have been...not as easy as what people make the A levels out to be.

GP went alright, i managed it without panicking, thank God. the essay question i wanted to do and had the most confidence in (science/environment) had (take a listen to this) RELIGION tied into it. this was my reaction upon seeing the question:
oooh science! *ticks*
*looks at 2nd part of the question*
*crosscrosscross*

so that left me with my other comfortable topic--mass media. i was actually considering doing the question on migration, but i supposed that would be a much attempted question, meaning that an IMBAlanced bell curve would result. hence, i decided that my points wouldn't be special or eye catching enough to warrant an A amongst the many who would probably attempt the question. i chose to wite about the pleasures of reading vs the pleasures of visual entertainment.

the compre passages were clear and easy to understand, but some of the questions i found kinda difficult to answer. especially the question about explaining the paradox. i mean, isn't the sentence self-explanatory and paradoxical in itself? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN THE PARADOX. @_@

didn't finish AQ, as usual, but i'm happy with my ONE point in the AQ, since it had evidence, evaluation and both sides of the argument. i think i shall score a 3 upon 8, one of my highest AQ grades ever. *prays that language marks will pull my compre marks up*

and that, was GP. my supposedly strongest subject.

on to my 2nd strongest subject--math.

the paper was...weird. that's the only adjective i can think of to describe it. the easy questions were really do-able, but the concept testing ones made me waste so much time on them and confused me more than clarified my concepts. the 10 mark stupid flower garden crap got me weird answers that deviated from everyone's. (then again, i think everyone's answers deviated from everyone) and i was unsure whether many of my answers were correct though i double-checked and triple-checked and quardruple-checked my working over and over again.

left 14 marks undone in all. glenn and i are wondering whether that's a lot.

oh, i also forgot to write my subject code on the cover page. @_@

i wonder how tomorrow's bio paper will be. i'm honestly quite sick of bio, and i'm especially worried for my Diversity and Evolution topic since my concepts are really blurry and weak. *memorising answer keys now*
that's my level of desperation. XD

at least there's less pressure for me on bio and chem. though i really want As for them, they have, after all, been my weakest subjects. ohwell. JUST ZHAM.

i really must continue praying that the Lord will get me through these papers. it's only day 3 tomorrow and i'm already feeling sian and worn out.

A levels drain your brain. x__x
