Stressed over the lack of stress
Hmm. Have not been online for an entire week, am feeling good about myself.
Nothing to do with the fact that it's exam season though. My modem-router thingie just decided to stop working for a bit. Not entirely die out on us, its lights are still blinking, but it doesn't connect us to the world wide web.
Still. Good timing la, 'cause that's one less distraction to deal with.
Oh my oh my I am so so stressed!
Over the fact that I am not very bothered with the exams.
I remember back in form 3 and form 4, I would study for hours and hours with only ten minute breaks in between. Heck, during one term exam I actually studied 9 hours everyday, and that was right after I came back from school!
Almost all my waking hours were spent cramming in "knowledge".
Yeah. Knowledge that only lasted throughout that exam week. And then it was bye-bye-baby!
But I'm pretty glad I made short, concise, really easy to read notes when I study. When I took out my notes in school last year, there were people who asked me, "What you doin'? Waste time lah!"
Very waste time meh? See who's wasting time now la, now I can study two chapters of Biology in under three hours (excluding breaks) because I have my very nice looking graphs and mind maps and short notes nicely written onto A4 papers, underlined and highlighted.
It certainly helps. No kidding.
I did notes for every chapter of hard-to-study subjects for PMR, and when my mom made me clean out my study table/shelves, WAH, really, like parting with lover, seeing all your months of effort being chucked into that black pastic bag. Mm seh dak.
Speaking of exams. I think PJK is so totally stupid. I know I sound like a whiny 6 year-old, but really loh, I don't really wanna know what cricket games what cricket equipment what what lah.
So I only flipped through the textbook when I came to school. And then I found out, quite a number of people actually study for it.
I know last night Li-Ann was, hmm, going insane from studying PJK. But I thought, aiyah, Li-Ann lah, cannot compare one. So I continued not-studying.
Then I came to school, woah, people actually said they FINISHED studying PJK.
"Finished? As in, all 150 pages?"
(I don't really know how many pages. I assumed 150 was almost there.)
"Yeah. Finished."
Why would anyone wanna spend so much time on PJK?
And to think, I was watching American Idol last night, pointing fingers and happily criticizing the performances of the contestants.
And it's unfair because PJK is one subject (if you can call it a proper subject, that is) that people who don't study can get better results than people who do. Like, they know the rules of the games, and their coaches go like, "okay, now stretch your triceps" or something to that effect during warm up sessions, so they know what is what la. At least, that is what they said.
People like me, have to sit in class an hour before exam, flipping through 150 pages of the textbook, and still cannot answer stupid cricket related questions.
But I don't regret not studying. At least, I ran the rounds around the field for UDTA, instead of just settling for 1 mark. (Consolation, okay.)
I am off to study Bab 9 of Biology.
It's supposed to be the easiest of the 3 'I-Hate' subjects, a.k.a. "FiziksBioKimia".
I really don't wanna screw it up.
