I took the chem test today and what a surprise I got.
Two girls in the front row dozed off. One in the nodding position, the other in the lie-on-table-and-drool stance.
My MSN pal next to me had a 70% empty paper while I tried to lie/create mechanisms imaginatively, hoping to strike it.
But there was one girl, plainly dressed, bespectacled and short-haired who checked her papers assiduously with every page painted with blue words of wisdom. Impressive.

Honestly, I guess most of us used the test as a measure of what Uni life would demand from us.
Heck, I haven't even finished studying for tomorrow 2 one and a half hour papers.

It has been difficult to focus on the text, allowing text to transform to images and meaning. Every 15 mins or so, I inevitably start surfing blogs and oogle at my MacBook at apple.com hoping it would be mine.

Otherwise I'd be deeply serenaded by Silje Nergaard's baby voiced jazz songs.

After tomorrow, QET would be next. Fighting this beast is a 50-50 thing. I haven't been very confident of my English after GP grades demoralised me further. Sometimes when I look back, I felt I was simply too stubborn to accept what was taught, always trying to carve out my own alternative understanding of the topics and many a times a very myopic view surfaces. Then again, environment degradation, politics, media, censorship, whatever boring topics were simply too boring. The sights, smells and sounds of attending GP in E block with its dusty, unventilated smell is still very vivid. I feel I let my GP tutor, Ms Lim down a bit. I just couldn't be bothered. My attention was almost all on my core subjects which I felt were more definitive and gratifying.

Well, at least now I can fully concentrate on the sciences and slowly appreciate the cirriculum of GP as opportunities for genuine interest in the various worldly issues sets in.
