Game on??

   It's the second mandatory rest period and its good to know that the papers this week are much better than the previous ones. 3 papers were on the line this week and Its not gonna get any easier. First in line was the physics paper...


   With the expectation that the paper's going to be tough, I went in with a heavy heart and full of hope for a first true win. The 2nd paper was well known to be of a time battle and you need to beat the clock to finish the paper (not that the 3rd isn't the same either). Strategy in mind, I fought the paper and finally got my first break with only a few "bruises" a.k.a missed questions and a rushed through planning question. Back outside the hall, it was the first time that I've jumped for joy (not until I've discovered some careless mistakes - the constant variable in this "war").


   The following day saw the Chemistry paper and with motivation from yesterday's paper and the fact that the H1 Chemistry was slated to be easy for all years, I went in trying to make a "double kill". The first few question was breezed by me but not until I was "perma-stunned" by a Hess's Law question - something that I've never expected in the syllabus. To add to the problem, time caught up with me and with a failed "jigsaw question" that cost me a lot of marks, I was officially down and out. Back outside, I felt the same shit that I once felt - after last weeks Math paper.


   Then came my element - Geography. The first paper was the Physical Geography and with the "Around the world as a USGS geographer and scientist" dream in mind, I must win this paper. With all the case studies in mind (or at least the spotted ones) and a few tricks under my sleeves, I fought hard for that win. In the end, I've managed to pull out a clear win for my DRQ and a 16 mark essay but time forced me out with another halfway complete essay. I came out of the room feeling neutral, not happy nor disappointed. Looks like it will all come down to the 2nd paper - Human Geography.


   ...So the scoreline's as follow - Exams 4.5 Aziz 2.5. Looks like the exams are OWNING!! Anyhow, I've known that I've tried my best and there are some things like time and careless mistakes that may be beyond my control. My victory or loss in this "war" is already predetermined by God and if I ever lose, I've to accept that it's my fault and that's the consequences. Sooo, next week will see 2 more tough papers - 3rd paper Physics and round 2 of Geography. All the best to all for the rest of the papers, regardless of what examinations you take!!!<3
