3 DAYS TO MYE.i cant wait for olvls to come. this year, Os examinations are brought so much forward. i think it's good news. imagine you having your Olvls while your juniors are still having lessons and then while your holidays start early, they struggle for EOY exams! in the past, the seniors have to come back to sch during HOLIDAYS for exams... poor thing. but our period of misery will be so much shorter! woots.
BUT. i cant seem to cope with mid-year. i suddenly forget how to do derivatives! how terrible can that be! the subject which i can rely on most is probably chemistry.
bio is killing me. there are so many terms to remember. O.O those funny terms like SPHYGMOMANOMETER and HERMAPHRODITE are horrible, esp when my spelling sucks. then there are very similar-sounding terms like AFFERENT, EFFERENT and ARTERIOSCLEROSIS, ATHEROSCLEROSIS which damn confusing. i cannt stand it when biologists give a particular thing 2 names... eg. ATRIA is also known as AURICLES. it's even irritating when the terms have singular and plural forms... like MYCELIUM(singular) and MYCELIA (plural). sometimes people say that my name is hard to rmb or spell... they hvnt learn about bacteria like LACTOBACILLUS BULGARICUS and STREPTOCOCCUS THERMOPHILUS! LOL. ohh right... sometimes biologists try to make their/our lives easier by introducing abbreviations like FSH which stands for Follicle Stimulating Hormone.
URGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!on the contrary, chemistry is so much more interesting. chemists are kinder in a way such that they dont ask us to write AVOGADRO CONSTANT but instead, MOLE. wad a pretty short and familiar 4-letter word. :) even so, when we write mole as a unit, we can emit the E so that mole becomes a 3-letter word-
mol. HAHA. besides, chemistry is so colourful! transition metals, which have more than one oxidation state, changes colour as their oxidation no. changes. hee :D
i just received a second postcard from my cousin. I SO MISS HER! she has been to Vatican city and BARCELONA alr! haha. :D:D:D:D:D:D
since tml is a holiday, i shall attempt to 'mug'.
sigh!!!!!
i rmb the first word i learnt to spell was APPLE. however it has a scientific name called MALUS. apple and malus both consists of 5 letters. but why did people choose APPLE to be used commonly?
HOMOSAPIENS are really weird.
BEST WISHES FOR MID-YEAR EXAMS! :D
for muggers: HAPPY MUGGING
True friends
