CG's Exam thread

Well, just had my first exam; Dutch Language. Had to summarise a text, then answer some questions about another text. Went ok, really. Shaking like crazy, of course. But hell, I guess thats normal.

CG the Zen master is no more.

Currently waithing for my second exam to start (1 1/2 hours). Management and Organisation. Not that hard either. Thank god for calculators that allow you to store formulas (yes it is allowed, no it is not considered cheating. I was as suprised as you are). Essentialy Economics, only easier.

Anyway;

EXAM STATUS:
1/7
CG STATUS:
Freaking out. The good way.

Best of luck, CG!

And don't worry; your symptoms are simply those that are common (pun intended) to man.

To quote Kansas:

"Carry on, my wayward son. There'll be peace when you are done."

WOOOT! I feel for you, not quite an exam but my first day at my new job starts on the first and first impressions are very much like a test. Only one you can't retake another semester. Good luck with the rest of your tests.

Management and Organisation done. Test from all hell, I must say; far harder then anything we practised... Reminder to self; blame the teacher, should you fail the subject. Not that I will.

Tomorrow, Biology. Not my favorite subject... just study and pray I'll pull trough. Sigh. More studying.

EXAM STATUS:
2/7
CG STATUS:
Tired. Yet, must... study... more...

Keep going the feeling of been free is great and just think you may be losing some free time with revision but your have more than you know how to handle when its done and don't stress over it because it doesn't get you anywhere and sometimes the revision turns out to pay off later on in both my psychology exams this yr I wrote a nice amount of it based on my a level knowlesdge despite now been at uni lol

You can do it CG!!! I know studying your brains out is horrible and exhausting but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Best of luck and don't forget you've got the whole of RC cheering you on!

Yep my brains turned to mush thanks 2 so much revision i went out 2 the shops to get some pasta sauce 4 my dinner and looked at the till and amount on it and said he was over charging me and then realised iwas looking at the change due. Thanks psychology lol and then ith the history exam one of the pages had a map and I became France and Germany were to small the joy of revision destroying you lol

Like hell there will. Those post-exam parties are ****ing insane, man! With the kegs, and the hookers, and the drugs, and the donkeys, and...


ahem, nevermind *straightens his tie*
Study hard, CG. That's what college is really about. Keep your head in the books.

CG, for you...here is the one and only cheer that I know:

Rah, rah, rah!
Kick 'em in the knee!
Rah, rah, rass!
Kick 'em in the other knee!

And I will also add a famous quote that I kept tacked up over my desk in college and art school:

Quote :

Wasn't that Bugs Bunny? I could swear it was.

Biology, oh, wonderfull biolgy. Tell us to learn about 700 pages by heart, then ask not a single question about 90% of the revised material.

Joy. Wonderfull. Bliss.

That said, I would like to say it went well, but that would be jinxing it. So out of fear of te evul jinxx, here is a smilie instead;

EXAM STATUS:
3/7
CG STATUS:
Cool and collected (probably because my brain has started dying)

Physics done. Over halfway there. Where you ask?

I don't god a god damn clue.

Found out a new rule of physics though; when in doubt, divide. Got two number? Divide. Got a number and a lettre? Divide. Two lettres? Divide. Don't ask me how, just do it. Here's to hoping it worked out ok.

Three exams remaining; chemistry, English, math

EXAM STATUS:
4/7
CG STATUS:
5 days of rest... more revising, y'all.

Alrighty, update time. Since I just got my results.

I failed. For now.

In the Dutch system, it is allowed to get a 5 for a single one of your classes. I managed to screw up and get two 5s. Luckily for me, I can resit one exam. Which means that I get to resit Chemistry, and hopefully manage to score higher this time.

In order to make sure I am overly prepared, I am going to a nearby University for 4 days and do a special program. As a result, I will be doing nothing but Chemistry from 07:00 to 22:00 next saturday until next tuesday. Pretty intense, but hey, these are my finals.

This sadly means that I will not be posting (a lot) on those four days. After wednesday however, I'll be back to glueing myself to my laptop.

Dutch. Schools. Are. Insane.
