so, the A Levels begin. math was not as easy as all the science students claimed. right after the paper ended i heard some unidentifiable science student gushing to his friend, 'that was so easy!' which really was quite disheartening.

it was not easy for me, but i didn't expect it to be. it was okay, though. i'm not upset about it, which is enough for me when it comes to math (but then again, i have never truly been upset about math because i have always expected my grades). i have not passed math the whole two years of my JC life, so you get the idea. i am counting on it quite badly for the As though. i felt a strange sort of pride today, about taking math. i mean, arts student and all ... yet taking math. i know how to use a calculator and integrate things. okay, so in the larger scheme of things who really cares, but for some reason today, it actually made me feel good.

clearly, i'm going insane. you wouldn't normally hear this sort of Math Pride from me. maybe this is partly derived from the euphoria of the realization that once wednesday is over - GOODBYE MATH! i want to have a bonfire and burn up my math stuff. and it seems quite a lot of other arts students have the desire to do this as well. (i really really really hope i do okay. please, God?)

i'm getting a little nervous now that the exams have officially begun. oh, and today we were greeted by a teacher in army camouflage barking into the microphone, as we stepped into the hall. he was probably back from reservist - but really, the head invigilator in camouflage and boots? it really was very absurd (and true of the situation). i did not think it was funny, at all. maybe under other circumstances i would have laughed, but i was wound too tight to think it was funny today. in fact, i found it annoying.

i am listening to jay chou on repeat. i got his latest album through devious means. the thing i like about jay is that he sings with quite a lot of emotion (though, ironically, i don't understand the lyrics) - is that generally how it is with chinese music? i am uninitiated in this music scene. but it seems chinese music is very melancholic in a mushy way.

okay, time to do some STATs now. oh i feel so clever, like i'm a statician!

... no, not really.
