I really should be studying for Bio, given my wholly unsatisfactory marks so far, but then again, I have like...a few hours...
AND the whole of tomorrow morning! Joy!
Today,
Something happened.
I thought it was dejection,
But there wasn't even a twinge of gloomy resignation.
Baarh is a small red fruit. We guard our hearts.
Not, of course, that I used 'Girl Talking' as my poem today. Nope, none of CAD's angsty word clunking rubbish, I used two of my favourite poems - 'The Virgin Punishing the Infant,' and the infamous 'Warming her Pearls.'
'All day I work willingly...slack on my neck, her rope.
Her pearls, her milky stones...(she is) puzzled by my faint, persistant scent."
Suggestively put, I say.
Well, I'd hardly done justice to two of the few poems worth a second look in our silly 'women in Literature' anthology, but but it was otherwise the best I could have done given the circumstances - nil preparation and scant practice in expressing myself over paper, amongst the other crucial things, such as the lack of a gel ink blue pen -I had to make do with a ballpoint black, which affected my writing speed.
Well, it's good to save money.
[Nobody can be blamed I supposed, for our inexperience - CCC did do his best to give us a detailed analysis of where we'd gone wrong, after all, and he did present whole afternoons to be at our disposal. The point of contention is whether a certain two someones could (or couldn't in in this case?) have been any less suited to the task of -
- but nevermind, this is not a place for spite and contempt; I shall stop here.]
After literature exam, there was some free time before mathematics. I had an adhoc math tuition with Lee Kwok Hao and Shaun Ee in the library, during which I covered a grand total of 4 subparts! of one question!- pertaining to linear regression. Sorely reminded, once again, of my inadequacy as KH and SE debated about physical chemistry theorums, one involving a dude named Clementi.
Anyway, after much floundering unsteadily after my impromptu tuition teachers' train of thought, it was the Mathethematics exam!
For which I was all geared up and raring to attack!
Face my impunity and cower in terror, o heinous permutations! To the abyss with probability, and hypothesies be utterly damned!
Turned out to be less of the oily vixen it usually is, more the irksome scutwork of retrieving half forgotten GC notations and functions, which I remembered by trial-and-error. I DID manage to do the linear regression question; however I forgot to 'Diagnostic On' the GC, so I had no product moment correlation coefficient to begin with. BlAH!!!!!
I sallied through the rest doably, with the exception of being unable to find the variance of one question, I conjured one out of thin air and used it in the further calculations.
Error, please be carried forward!
