I think one can never be thoroughly ready for exams; lest you’re someone who’s both hardworking and brilliant at the same time. And I think I happen to know someone who’s like that. Unfortunately,  it’s not me, DUH.

But back to the topic. In my world, I suppose no one, and I mean absolutely no one can ever be a hundred percent ready for an exam, or for any other tests for the matter. You can prepare yes, but you’re never fully ready. The list of things to prepare frankly never ends.

So in a last minute attempt to salvage my GP, albeit however late it is, I finally finished Paul Ng’s notes. I know I was yapping about how wonderful they  were, so this may pose as a surprise to many that I hadn’t already finished them earlier. Oh well, what can I say? Priorities. Or more accurately, “Priorities”. Seriously, I’m really blame this whole regime (I don’t care if it’s not an appropriate word here) of the sciences being more important than the arts, here in Singapore. Admit it, how many times have your teachers forgo a music lesson for an extra math or science class. So I guess you can’t really blame us if we perform poorer for our arts (read: GP and Economics). The fact that such delineations (of science being your ticket to a stable job and income in the future) has been in bred in us from a very young age, is in essence the very reason why we spend more time on our other subjects.

But the main take away lesson here is that despite it not being your “priority”, you should still give it some attention.

So yep. I wonder if technology and new media is gonna come up for the essay.

I do hope so.
