*186 - biotech, chem s

I found Biotech pretty tough. The essays in particular, which seemed a little GP-ish, and some of the structured. And because of my policy of never leaving blanks, I dutifully filled up all the spaces with rubbishy answers, and I was rather tempted to seek Mr Tan out after that to beg him to please not laugh at the stuff I wrote, because under exam conditions one can't be too creative and so the answers I invented on the spot were more absurd than anything else.

Chem S later, Bio 1 tomorrow, Math S tomorrow. Then we shall be done. (:

I'm not sure what to do about Chem S, tried looking at some past year papers and saw, in the answer sheet, an unintelligible muddle of out-of-syllabus stuff like the Grignard reaction, the Sandmeyer reaction, the Diels Alder reaction, the Williamson synthesis ... Well, maybe some smarties out there actually know what all these mean, but the regularly-nearly-failing-normal-Chemistry-papers me hasn't a clue.

Me, of all people, taking Chem S. Hahahaha.

[edit, later]

What I have to say about Chem S now that it's over: Hahahaha.

I finished about 45 minutes before the time was up! Virtually wrote nothing for 2/3 of the paper. So I had lots of time to invent "creative" answers to fill in some of the blanks (:

Nearly there, nearly there. 2 more papers to go and then I can collapse into bed and sleep away my up-and-coming cold. -sniff-
