The 9th Finals
I could hardly look back and feel how amazing things have been. I am referring to this day, the most memorable of all. In less that 40 minutes since I left home as early as 6:00am, I found myself studying at one corner of the college caf. I am not a geek or any, excuse me, I was just preparing for my final 3 judgment hours in no more than 10 hours today. Gee, I am already playing with numbers. Anyway, first of, I continued browsing my theo notes from last night's one-hell-of-pure-memorization exercise. Oops, it was Toni's notes pala.
Grabe, I can't really describe it. The exam's comprehensive so I almost memorized around 50+ terminologies on Human sexuality, Marriage and Family life. I was expecting an objective type of exam, meaning identification, enumeration... etc., but no! Imagine, the exam, although objective, was matching type! Oh well, up to now, I can't say if it's really frustrating or not. I am just thankful that it didn't give me headache although the true/false part has used up some of my braincells. Next up, history.
Although not comprehensive, I devoted my 2 days (out of the 3-day grant) going over my notes (and so niki's handout) and the long history readings summing up to 1-inch thickness. Again, I expected an identification type, but unfortunately a modified true/false appeared. By the time I submitted my answers, I guess, my braincells were greatly reduced to 50%. Do you think it would be sustainable to end this day with a comprehensive math exam? I don't really think so.
I was left with half an hour to refresh my halved memory on euler's algorithm, newton's method of solving diffy ques, same with the undetermined coefficients and variation of parameters... etc. The good thing was, I didn't panic. Not at that very moment, maybe right after. I sat in front of SECA208A for 2 hours, writing and solving equations. Instead of having a severe headache, I had a trembling right hand. Imagine, I started this day writing long essays since 9:30, nonstopping and super exaggerated.
Anyway, enough of the rants.
This one-hell-of-an-incredible day was a blast. At last! The moment that I have been waiting for has come into play! Yey, one more to go... mamilosopiya na!
