Mock exam report:

Day 1:

Wei Yun decides it will be a good idea to wear orange. Reason? The more orange she wears, the less likely she is to fail. She gets up at 645, puts on brown and orange headband, orange tank inside white shirt, brownish orange beads. Might still possibly fail her exams due to the fact that she forgot orange socks. So she gets to school, and sees...

Everyone! Talking about how nice it is to see each other BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY the first paper that is coming up. Su is actually memorizing literary terms which is... wow. Wei Yun, being the lazy ass she is, decides to just look through Su's list briefly before traipsing off to talk to other people- because she doesn't think she can cram in last- minute info anyway.

Now for the report:

English Paper 1, HL: Okay I guess, I loved the piece of prose that we got. It was really a great piece of writing and well I could relate to the surreal elements in it I guess? So well I think I'll do okay. Not great because I was a little stuck at the beginning, but I think I'll do okay.

Maths Paper 1, HL: WAY better than last year's paper in June. I think I'll pass this one.

Jas woke up at 6.15 a.m., took a not so nice cold shower cause she'd gone to sleep only 3.5 hours before and put on the first thing in her closet. She left the house at 7.00 a.m. at which point Wei Yun was probably STILL putting on her funky beads but Jas still got to school way later than everybody else. At 7.49 a.m. to be exact, when everyone was outside the hall. I know this because Panit messaged me at 7.47 a.m. asking me where the hell I was, most people thinking I'd overslept seeing as how I've been sleeping at like 4.00 a.m. every single day. Anyway...

English Paper 1, HL: I didn't understand crap. I did half of one, half of the other and finally settled on the first one. Took me a full 20 minutes to decide which question to do.

Maths Paper 1, SL: If people were free enough to look up, I was the one staring blankly off into space thinking "OHHHH CRAP!" But everyone else seemed to be writing so I tried to be smart and write stuff too... I stabbed myself with my compass. Twice. Once in my leg and once in my finger. Wanna see??????
Alarm rings at 645. Press Snooze.. Sleep until 710am. Brother comes in saying, 'OMG WOW. I BEAT YOU'. I wake up, rush down, and pick Sara up. Then make the insane drive to school with Sara saying, 'Wahhh.....' *must be her lack of sleep*. We get to school at 744am. ONE MINUTE TO SPARE. And run upstairs like a bunch of mad people. And get to the hall. Greetings galore. And a very loud 'GOOD MORNING'. =_=. Enter exam
English A1 HL - I like the prose. It was philosophical. I was so happy to finally get an author that I know. C.S. Lewis. I jammed alot trying to structure my essay until finally winged it and just analysed it paraphragh by paragraph. I then said C.S Lewis wrote "Alice in Wonderland". It was supposed to be LEWIS Carroll. Hello, they are almost the same. Glad to know I provided some comic relief. Because Mr. Cadman gave me a very amused look when I told him. >.<
Maths SL - First 5 questions: OHh... Nice.. easy.. I can do... Oher questions after that: OMG. WTH. DIE. So what I did was copy the question, and copy the formula, and insert whatever knowledge I had. You get points for working see. HEH. Math is murder. MURDER. Grrr maths.
This took all of 10 minutes of my Chemistry revision time. OH dear.
Yay! Considering I don't have a paper today, why not use up some of my revision time telling everyone about my shortcomings in the first paper! OH JOY! :D :D :D well I'm online anyway, might as well :) heh heh okayyyy so I woke up at 6.30-ish and ate some bread with ba hu and then I had a cup of MILO (the drink of Champions, or so they say) then off to school after I suddenly realised that I forgot to bring my jacket or something whatever its called :P so I went to search for it in my closet, couldn't find it, asked the maid where it was, and finally gave up when she realised it was kept in this huge suitcase together with loads of other clothes on top of my parents closet. Delightful. SO anyway I put on my long-sleeved shirt so I could roll the sleeves down if I got cold. Which was exactly what PiLip did too! Great minds think alike, eh? HAHAHAHA
Anyway, I'm the dude with all three Highers on the same day. English HL -> I chose the prose. No surprise there. Mr. Walton even told me that he won a bet with Mr Cadman because he bet that I would do the prose. HAHA I should get a share of the winnings! :) anyway I did it ainly because I couldn't really understand the poem. I thought it was about Dust Bunnies. And theywere DYINGGGGG awwh so sad. Then I realised that it was highly unlikely that dust bunnies would be a focal point in a mock exam poem, so I dismissed it and did Prose instead. blah blah blah
Don't even get me started on Math HL. PAH!
Business HL..... was okay at the start but I think I made some mistakes midway through and at the end, where I couldn't name a motivational theory because I FORGOT TO STUDY THAT PART *smacks head* how could I forget? that was 8 marks. and I left it blank. :( and I couldnt define what a profit centre was, so I hadn't a clue when it told me to evaluate it. -.-"
Haha. I shall add my story too! Woke up at 6.30 to Alarm 1, hit snooze, Alarm 2 rings, snooze, then Alarm 1 again, I turn it off and promptly fall back to sleep. Thankfully Alarm 2 rings and one of the 3 cousins who sleep on my floor yell at me to get up. I woke them all up with my alarms. Heh.
So, English and Maths: Doable.
Day 2:
Chem 1 and Chem 2: Also doable.
TNT is more reactive/explosive than sugar. Explain this hypothesis -.-
