Well. Today was quite screwy.
First we had a lousy NPCC day parade. Typical same old boring stuff. zzZZzzZzZzzzZZzZzzZzZZZzzZ
After that, we have a POD session where I have no idea whether the reflections I handed up were correct or not. Free period but I don't do anything.
After that, we have a 1 hr 20 min recess. Half the class comes down to the library. And I rob 400k. I am also facing land problems, namely
1) I have too much land and too few scientists
2) I have too few barracks
3) I have not enough money now to explore
4) Exploring costs 6400 money each
After that the first paper, which was Lang Arts
I managed to understand the passage pretty well, and I actually managed to understand and have a good idea of how to answer the questions. Except that I spent the first 15 minutes of the 1 hr writing notes. Then I spent 35 minutes writing the first question for 3 pages. Which of course left me with a grand total of 10 minutes for part b. I actually managed to write 4/5 of a page during that time. The most irritating part is that I knew what to write but didn't have the time to do so. I don't think I spent too much time on part a. In fact, I actually had to cut short that part and leave out some points. So I'm not too sure what went wrong there. In any case, I thank God for providing me with the clarity of thought and understanding to be able to interpret the passage properly. Right now, I'm just praying that I will score 20 marks based on my part a alone. And maybe 1 or 2 marks for part b.
1 down, 8 to go.
