Oh well, i just studied it during my miserable christmas... getting so stressed up, having insomia and almost giving up on studying...

After 10 days of chionging. i did 5 topics (i spotted) and out of 8 qns that came out, only 2 is super confident (basically only spotted 2... ) 失败！never did my spotting become so lousy. nevermind... luckily i was a mugger in Adelaide... banging on my ~LaSt~ semster's knowledge, I Crapped! (last sem was 2007 sem 1.. lol) I LOVE ADELAIDE!!! if not for wad they teach there, i can't slack so much and travel so much here instead and still standing in quite good ground in Glasgow.

So what happened during the exam... I WAS THE ONLY BIOMED STUDENT THAT WENT FOR THE EXAM... (1 out of 3, somemore i am an exchange..) lol..... and the EXAM WAS 5% OUT OF 15%.... if i know i wont even bother to study like exam... okey tis still and exam but... the level of stress would have been lower and it would not be that detrimental to my health! coz I start seeing fine lines on my forehead after the exam and i am AGING... okey i am such a freak like many of my friends said and i am obivously worrying too much.

During the test, the first essay was not well planned even tho it was my favourite topic and i did quite alot of work on that... but its the first exam so i am not quite use to writing under exam condition - after like half a year of no-mugging. So well 2nd qn was quite gd. Feel gd. subsequent 3rd and 4th qn i was doing a lot of choosing and then trying to crap things out for classifying the 20 a.a. (can u imagine u are doing SUCH qns when are u already a 3rd year - okey i din score for that one at all but still its dun seems to be the things for 3rd year) anway. and the last qn that i choose was a total mistake.. Genetics... and i din even touch Genetic engineering, Gene cloning those chapter... Bang totally on that DNA workshop which we had early last year. And i DIN FINISH THE QN coz i was just dragging time and trying to write that in last 15 mins.

Does these seems quite bad for the exam? i din think much. But more or less know i will pass. That's all i cared for back then.

Today i saw the paper. Jus as expected. I will give u a break down on my score: (qn are numbered in the order i described them above)

Qn1: A4 (excpeted an A2 actually or there about - but loss mark prob due to bad planning)
Qn 2: A2 ( i love ethanol metabolic pathway... so there u go)
Qn 3: C1 ( this is the 20 a.a. classification qn - i din study that... only did that last year when lynn roger keep asking in class ... write things base on vague memory)
Qn 4: D1 ( i wrote half an essay... did until the getting the Gene of Interest only, din even write more then that... Marker's comment: "SO U RUN OUT OF TIME? NOT ENOUGH SUBSTANCE". When i see it i was like.."yea man... i make it such that i hve no time to write for it... lol coz i dun quite remember ... haha)

Meeting with the coorindators was okey. They tell me that i am getting a B2 overall - 2nd class honours eqivalent.. so i was alright with that... Explained abit of how come i am getting these grades and tell them how i feel about the exam and my expectation. They have no opinion so it was fine. I said: since i am an exchange and i not gg to study the way i did in Adelaide because then it would be pointless to come all the way and i am suppose to go back and promote Glasgow uni... so i am quite happy with what i get as long as u guys are happy with my grades.. lol... I also told them that it was obvious that i was spotting qn and lack preparation, but yea " i will start studying now..." Angela Watt laught... lol.. but i was fine with that ...

COZ I REALLY HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT THIS SEM... as i am gg away to somewhere and having so many gatherings / social events with people... so its only wise to do things consistent and picking up my momentum, preparing myself for Adelaide. So TatA i am off to finally study my pharmacology.

Feel so gd typing here. It frees my mind sometimes. I love med sch lib also. too bad i am not a med student.
