The first of the promos is over. Only a few more to go. It all started at 8am today, where we marched our information cramped brains from the lockers to the multi-purpose hall. I learnt that two purposes of the multi-purpose halls are for examination uses and for freezing students for the heck of it.
The general paper essay was pretty good. I managed to write something that I find somewhat structured, valid and sound, all at the same time. There is a good chance that this essay would be the highest scoring general paper essay I have ever written. I looked through the questions and quickly canceled off the questions that I knew that I could not do. These questions are those the others would specialize in, and be equipped with a whole multitude of relevant examples and information. I cannot risk having the other student's outstanding essay dwarf my own essay can I? After a quick mental elimination of all media, politics, relationship, science, arts and weird questions, I was left with two options. I could try writing about play, or do one about economics. Hmmm, considering that I was studying economics for the past few days, it was not really surprising that I chose the latter.
Then the comprehension paper came. As I was reading through the passages and questions, I could hear the brains of other candidates exploding into thousand pieces, through the silence of the examination hall. I knew it would be my turn to moment I attempted the questions. You know you are screwed when you cannot understand what the questions are looking for, fail to recognize most of the words asked for the vocabulary section and find yourself unable to think of any examples for your application question. Ah, I was so close to scoring a decent mark for general paper finally. I feel like a Mario that have finally cleared all the maps in the first world only to get owned by Bowser at the end of it all.
What is done is done, I shall gear myself up for economics tomorrow. I have really high hopes and must not screw this one up. As for Chinese, hopefully my prayers would be heard tomorrow.
