messed up day.

and so, the most screwed up day of my entire A level schedule is over. 8D

i actually feel euphoric! ok, not as euphoric as i would be after this whole shit is over, but still quite euphoric. ^_^

today was chem AND econs papers 2. chem consisted of surprisingly few questions! there were only 4 questions in total though there are usually like what. 6? i kinda got owned by question 4 though. x_x i mean, what the hell is "ligand addition"?! -_- i dunno what possessed me to write that. then again, if i didn't write that, i would have simply left it blank. OH WELL. maybe it's some rare obscure process that is actually feasible in the given scenario! :O
yes i shall continue deluding myself.

felt really sian and unwell and tired and headache-ish before and after chem @_@ econs was in a few hours from chem so i had to try very hard to stay focused. the paper was...strange. (as with the other A level papers of 2008) i remember looking at the list and thinking,
"damn, i can't do any of them."
but once i chose my questions and started work, everything kinda came back. not just the stuff i studied since a month ago, but even little obscure bits of information from way back came in useful. i tried to write as much as i could, and managed to write more than i ever did. :D

of course, that warranted me a massive hand cramp during my second last para. x_x my entire hand just cramped up and hurt like crazy, so i had to stabilise my pen and my writing hand with my right hand. weird experience. i remember continually willing myself to write more, haha.
I WILL NOT BE OWNED BY HAND CRAMPS. >=[ *determined look*

i also remember thinking,
"eh. WHERE'S THE CONTEXT."
when i read the questions. XD

most of the questions i attempted were kinda open, and free. i wasn't limited by a given context per say, because the only question i attempted that actually carried a HINT of a context simply asked me what the Singapore government does to correct market failures caused by imperfect knowledge and immobility of factors of production. which was still very very general compared to the crap we get at school exams.

my other questions simply left me free to write almost anything. like,
"discuss what A GOVERNMENT can do to achieve actual and potential growth."

A GOVERNMENT. man. look at the specificity!

i dunno why but the only words i can come up with to describe my feelings about how general and theory based the questions were are,
"trigger happy."
JUST RANDOMLY SHOOT.
*shootshootshoot*

alright. the last econs paper EVER tomorrow. and it's case study!
shall mug:
small firms
EOS
market failure: externalities
elasticities
unemployment and inflation

whoopee. 8 more days! :D
