The Elementals II: Knit of Fate

I made myself an instant star in just a night!

Call me the greatest careless person, who’s ever lived, I lost my journal for almost two weeks! And I’ve been looking for it all over the campus! Really, I thought I have given it to someone by mistake or it jumped off from my bag while I was walking (which is sort of plausible) but hell! I found it under my bed sheet and people, friends around me almost slap me for being so slovenly.

Anyways... I’ve two weeks to write down or to type in so I better start filling you in.

The week was the worst; we’ve been given loads of exercises for the last four days (Wednesday to Saturday) was preliminary examinations. I don’t remember anymore how I studied for those exams especially those mind-boggling, strength-consuming and patience-bursting E-subjects examinations.

For normal engineering subjects (where in I still don’t find the relevance of History classes with a parallel discussion of Religious acts and behaviour appraisal to engineering), we had the usual written exams.

Physics with five problems about finding resultant of forces and one number should be solved using three methods: Summation of Forces, triangle method and Polygon method or Parallelogram method. Geez... I almost repeated twice for sketching the Polygon method, it’s to be scaled using a ruler which when you graphed should be fitted in the paper, but my sketch kept on jumping from my paper towards the desk, so I’ve to re-sketch it.

Oral Communication gave us modified true or false and for your information the hardest exam must have been true or false already but imagine modified one? You have to find what’s wrong and write down what makes the statement correct. Hell! I only know it is wrong but don’t know which makes it wrong.

Rhetoric of Mrs. Promethea is the easiest of all, simple identification and matching type (quite very elementary). Mrs. Samartia, though it’s Philosophy, made sure we don’t single her subject out as one of those minors ‘coz her exams are really for REAL Philosophers, it makes you think and force you to remember the happenings in the Philos (which is kind of a novel with built in discussions in Philosophy), before the end of that exam, I’ve got confused which one is a Philosopher and which one is an Astronomer or a Scientist or a mathematician or just someone’s weird name that’s randomly taken from list of enrolled students. Wew.

Calculus is of course the hardest, we had half an hour of good discussion with Mr. Moxi after that very first I saw his intelligent side. Finding out Domain and Range is really hard for me though others have find it easy, good for them, I almost tried looking for them outside the window but it’s just that my mind can’t take staring at those numbers for long. This time, I proved that lessons are only easy during class discussion.

History doubled with Current Events plus Religious beliefs and behaviours of Ms. Sacanova, is quite easy, easier than what I’ve imagined. I tried reviewing all those books she’s given but as I answer her test, I think the questions came from only one book, the one written by Fernando Balagtas. Well, over preparedness is not bad after all. I wonder if she would have ever included the Lost Scripts and the Blank Book in her exams, that’ll happen is she has found the former or have read the latter.

Our ever beautiful PE instructor, Mrs. Selphyn, told us to prepare for an easy written exam which as it turned out, was indeed easy. She almost gave us everything that will be out in the exam. She did a discussion and put stressed on those things that’ll be included in the exam. She never told us it’ll be included you just have to have a sharp listening skill and sharp memory as well; well my very useful hearing prowess covers my shortcoming in memory aspects.

E-exams are harder this year... Harder.

Aside from not having exams in Political Governance with Constitution and Element Jeopardy, we’ve got so many troubles passing the other E-exams.
