Jan. 27th, 2003 05:21 pmExams are of the evil.
Had Physics and Economics. Everybody agreed that the Physics paper was unnecessarily difficult and incomprehensible. Nobody answered the first four-mark question in any kind of reasonable manner. (Picture of tennis ball resting on horizontal tennis racket. First question - draw the two forces on the ball. Nice and simple; weight down, normal reaction up. Next question - Every force has an equal and opposite force. Explain what the opposite forces are for these forces and what object they act on. Four marks. Wrote something incomprehensible about corresponding forces on the racket, thinking 'butbutbut, these *are* their own opposing forces'...) As for Economics, wrote an awful lot of junk, needed all 26mins of my extra time and still don't feel that I satisfactorially answered anything. Questions were terrifically vague and woolly. Couldn't think up any decent 'evaluative phrases' or 'conclusions' for them because they weren't the kind of thing that concluded properly. Didn't feel that what I wrote was an answer to the questions, but couldn't figure out what it was that they were actually looking for.
So, bad.
Exams over now. This should be of the good. Am still stressed. This is somehow Wrong.
People at school say I am immune to exams. Tend to forget about being stressed when looking after people who are about to explode due to being stressed, but am not immune, so bah.
I really do write these entries in a voice that isn't my own, these days. Is most upsetting.
