exams

I wonder how many people from UC will visit my blog since I told no one, but oh well, these are just meant for you.

Let's list what I've done so far.

On Sunday, I took the Honors Chem Placement Exam. That was manageable. Then in the afternoon I took the Calculus Exam which lasted 3 hours in this very cold lecture hall. I was struggling through, especially in Paper 2...
Let's preview a few questions:
"Explain what is meant by limits and continuity."
"Prove that two negative numbers when multiplied gives a positive number."
??? But you'd be surprised, after the exams, there were many people discussing the heuristics they used to prove these big problems.

On Monday which is today, I spent the entire morning taking my Chinese Language Exam. Well, I had to convince my examiner during the oral exam that B3 was a good grade in an AO Chinese Exam back in Singapore. She agreed to give me full credits for chinese, provided I did well for the paper. So how was the paper? Oh, the first section asked us to translate phrases from English to Chinese. The only word I forgot how to write was Nutrition....grr. Then we were asked to translate English sentences to Chinese. For that, please forgive me, but I forgot what was 'my wife's younger brother' in chinese. Ahh! How embarrassing! After which there were 85 MCQs. It was fine till the end, the comprehension was really crazy. I was guessing my way through.

Tomorrow morning I'm attending my swimming test.
And the results for all tests will be out tomorrow. Let's hope I do well. I got to go now, and study for Chemistry Accreditation on Thurs. That will be a 3 hr paper.
