3 and counting. @ 5:44 AM

Suddenly I find myself in the midst of exams already. It is just so true that time slips away ever so quickly once you start the first paper, in my case, maths. Held in the big basketball court on top floor of Sackville Street Building, this time we weren't lucky enough to catch the never-comes/forever-full lifts. No choice but to climb the stairs from floor C to floor K. *do fingers count* EIGHT floors.

That was the 1st paper - over! And the next morning I made a wonderful discovery - my student ID card was missing. Couldn't recall myself putting it back in my bag so I concluded I dropped it in the exam hall. Some luck. So the next day I flew up the stupid stairs again in hope to catch the invigilators for some other courses' paper which just ended. It turned out any ID cards found were sent to the Examination Centre down Oxford Road along with all the answer sheets. Off I went with a glimmer of hope and was directed to the Students Services from there...and hurray! My ID was really there! :) So glad..thought I needed to waste 10 pounds to make a new one. Thank God someone picked it up! okay, thanks to whoever did that too.

Dramatic start to my exams, phew. Now there's 2 papers left. The two scariest intimidating modules - Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena. *shivers* Sometimes it's the books and lecturers that sink our confidence.

From our thermo professor, "Even if you do all the past year papers, doesn't mean you can pass the paper."

From the first page of our EBL booklet,

"The three laws of Thermodynamics:

You cannot win,

You cannot even break even,

You cannot get out of the game.."

(Lol these aren't the real ones if you are confused.)

From last page of "Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering",

"This is not the end,

This is not even the beginning of the end,

But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

- Winston Churchill -

Can't blame us to get depressed at times ehh?

But oh wells, there are fun parts too! Lecturers aren't always nerdy and strict..ours can be rather funny (though sometimes lame and resulting in them laughing on their own). Have a look at our mcq sample questions.

You seriously feel like banging the wall doing these questions.

Or maybe just drop dead trying to read/understand these books.

That's why you need lots of food to keep yourself hanging in there. Hmm yeah, those are all bags of crisps, instant noodles, biscuits etc.

Tadaa! My super messy and disorganized tabletop..(high entropy? XD). No laah, few of us studying together so of course everything is everywhere!

Okay. I really shouldn't be here writing silly stuff. Carnot cycle is feeling lonely. toooooooooooodles. next time i blog it's gonna be happy days already, wheee :D
