I had like a sudden jolt of the importance of this year for my life all the sudden a few weeks ago and started rampaging through my books to get in as much as i can for the exams. I didnt want to screw it up this time compared to the average work or maybe below average work done last term.
Besides that, this was the semester examination and it holds a way higher weightage as well. So panicky, I ran pass pages after pages within all the time I had. Do as much questions I could, access to any materials I could obtain and ask teachers and lecturers and tutors how to do so and so, because I think for the whole of the semester, I was pure slacking, I hardly asked anything in tutorials, especially maths. It is not that I am supper good at maths, was because I was doing much enough to dump into questions that I dont understand.
However, lucky for this sudden realisation of the whole scene and some wise words from several people, I manage to get whole of the loops I have creating ever since slacking for the whole half a year and fill it up with useful information. In fact, I realised that I actually wasnt that stupid. I actually could understand the chapters super fast if I did give it some effort. But the lecture style of classes is partly to blame for my bad understanding of the lecture. hahaha, but of course laziness was also to be blamed.
Anyhow, I made it through the exams, barely. It was rather weird for some of the questions and some were rather challenging. But I think it was fair for the amount of work I put in.
I reckon I would put in way more effort this semester and keep on fighting!
Even though I'm on holidays now, its not a time to slack. I got UMAT coming up next. UMAT is Undergraduate Medicine Admissions Test. Its one heck of a crazy test. Testing on EI and IQ and so on. Lots of aspects that are important to any jobs and anyone's well-being.
Anyway, I am working hard for that and yup, I need to do maths, after UMAT is over :D
ok... study freak...
on another note, I went to catch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Finally a movie in the cinema after a long absence. I am sad to admit that I have not watch a lot of blockbuster movies throughout the year since coming to Australia. "Its a sad sad situation"(Elton John).
Well I thought Harry Potter was sorta OK! maybe 3.5 outta 5? It is a really good adaptation of the book this time as every detail in the book is so important that it had to be in the movie and not sliced off. And Quidditch is back! I think its fun to watch Quidditch as it gives a platform for the CGI effects. Talking bout CGI, I guess since the movie has so much hype, it comes for a bigger budget, so CGI was so much better. However the use of magic in this movie was rather sad, not much fighting, but I know its a climb to the climax in the last movie which is two movies away! ARGHHHH! It does build that hype for the next movie though... And I have to say, at certain scenes they did still have that British movie feeling... You know,the screen play, the way the camera shoots that scene and so on...
Anyway, its worth watching if you have watched the last few movies...
