Today, i wanted to try wearing my jeans a bit lower at the hips..Act cool mah...XXX...bad move...As i was walking to Kent Ridge hall from the carpark to sit for the exams, i could feel my jeans slowly but surely slipping lower and lower off my waist...I really dun know how some guys can wear their jeans so low that their undies show...Do they sew it to their underwear which is in turn glued to their skin or wat? (I need to attend "How to wear your pants low-low without it slipping off" 1101E i tell you) Anyway, i stole a secret pull on the way to the hall (the stupid carpark was so far away) but still not good enough. Upon arriving at KRH, i was about to rush to the toilet to readjust my belt when Hannah stopped me to pass me a book she had bought for me on Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. I quickly thanked her and was about to make my way to the toilet again when Claudia came. She asked me if i had brot our superbly written and skilfully argued project and wanted to know what Lazaar had said. All these while my jeans was slipping down lower and lower (and i cudnt steal a pull with so many people watchin). I rattled off some comments about our project being wonderful and well-written and seeing claudia's satisfied face, quickly excused myself to the loo. FINALLY!!!
When the exam started however, i realized that this time, i had made my belt too tight such that whenever i leant 4ward to write, the belt buckle pressed against my bladder..Win aleady...In 15 minutes i was out of the exam hall to pee...Waste time only...
I wun say the paper was good..In fact it was quite tough...While the issues the exam dealt with were certainly not alien to the course, it was the way she framed them in her questions that really made it shit. You know, sneaky details like "To what extent is power negotiated" which in a moment of anxiety can easily be glossed over as "How is power negotiated" especially since the latter is so much easier to answer...I wrote really little...6 pages for 2 and a half questions to be exact. In fact 1(b) was only half a page long and that worries me. I really hate exams that require you to apply what you learn...I just havent mastered the ability to think on the spot and organize my thots and translate them into words in a short amt of time...But i told myself that i would at least try by avoiding regurgitation of stuff that i memorized and it is on this point then that i would say that the paper went ok. Hope it turns out as ok as i think it did though...We'll just have to wait and see whether regurgitation (hope i'm spelling this rite) or my attempts at application is a better approach to tackling exam questions especially for such modules...
