My Preliminary Post - Chemistry Practical + Social Studies + Elec. Geog

It's week one in the three weeks of hell!

Chemistry
Urgh! I've always been an okay Chemistry student. I don't break things, don't have the misfortunes of defective apparatus, so why did my bloody burette leak in the midst of titration?!!!! Seriously, and we had to titrate something with potassium manganate which is purple in colour. I wanted to ask for a new one but then Veronica Chia told me to just tilt it or something like that. In the end, I did 5 titrations! 5! It's like, a personal record! And I misread "anion" as "cation" and I wrote down "reducing agent" instead of "oxidising agent" and I couldn't finish the extension question. 8 marks gone!

Social Studies
This was OK. Finally I could finish the paper! Yay for me! Well, I made one of the essays seem like an English essay.

Elec. Geog
Couldn't finish this one!!! Boo! Didn't understand what one of the questions was talking about. I'm so gonna screw this one up! I'm so scared I didn't write enough points! Bye, first three months of MJC.

Anyway, I have discovered the magical powers of coffee! Yes! I have become a coffee addict! My mother told me about this girl she knew in secondary school who was really smart, but then she over-exerted herself and in the end, she couldn't think properly and failed the exam. Way to motivate a person! But then this morning my mother told me that it's "only the Prelims".

I'm cured!
