it has started
1 down, 4 more to go. well, i didn't exactly start the day on the right foot, considering i woke up late. gulp. jolted out of bed at 8.06am for a 9am paper. beat that man. luckily pop sent me to school.
but i thought the paper went fine. i didn't really put in much effort on the first 5 topics, because it was already tested, and only mcq wld come out. however, the mcq's for those topics were pretty tricky cos i cldn't really remember the readings. d'oh
the essay component went well enough. i only studied 2 out of 5 topics in detailed, and both of them came out which i believe that i wld have scored equally well if i had done either.
i felt that the 2 page limit was too short, and i have enormous exam handwriting... so that doesn't do my 2 pages justice. damn. i finished my essay with half an hour to spare, i had so much more to write, but i wasn't sure whether the markers wld not mark anything beyond the second page.
i was contemplating rewriting the essay, in my neater and smaller handwriting, so that i cld squeeze in more facts, but decided against it. i hope i don't regret it...
anyway, soci is over. phew. next paper on tues, real estate finance. yes, i can calculate mortgages and financing stuff.
the real killer would be on thurs, when i have 2 papers in a day... and as hard as i tried to plan my mods so that none wld clash with each other, there was no way i cld have avoided this 2 papers in one day. crap.
ok, hopefully it'll go well. to all those who are taking or studying for exams, take heart, it'll be over soon.
i shld know, i'm graduating in 3 weeks.
