Revision.

Everyone dreads that word. Who doesn't is a freak of nature. Period.

It's that time of the year again. No, it isn't Christmas or Chinese New Year. IT'S EXAM TIME! WOOHOO! Exciting isn't it? I'm being plain sarcastic. Who likes exams is a freak as well.

Had a scare today during thermodynamics lecture. It was a revision class and the lecturer came in with 2 questions prepared. I haven't revised that topic so I didn't really remember the equations. Fine. Forgivable. Then for the second part of the question I followed the lecturer's method on the board and got totally thrown off. In the end, i got the same answer for a much simpler method, or short cut as you would say. And that's how I've been doing my tutorials all along. Phew. Big scare. I thought my thermodynamics was screwed up because all along it's been one of those subjects that I actually could do the tutorials so I'm hoping to do well for it. HOPEFULLY.

Anyway, I'm scared for exams. The seniors keep saying year one can slack. That's true to some extent, but if you put in consistent work there really isn't much time to slack around at all. There's always something to do like project, ProE, tutorials or just meetings. Sigh. In a flash, year one has passed and I don't think I've gained much from it except the fact that Imperial is highly competitive and I'm not enjoying it one bit. And the worst thing is that I have to compete with scholars too. I hate it. Thoroughly. Maybe coming to Imperial was a wrong choice. Nothing but punch a big hole in my morale.

Oh well. I'm bitching. Ignore me. Boohoo.
