I thought, you think, who confirm

Physics paper. sigh. It was the best of both worlds. Tough and tricky. Well, all i can admit is that I have tried my best. Its kinda irritating in university when what is being taught in lecture and in the notes seem so little yet the scope of testable contents is ambigiuously varied. There is no use spotting questions cause no 2 same ones will come out. You can't blame people for not doing well when most would have studied their asses of for this subject. Its psychologically demoralising when you think you have done your best, but it will never be enough. It sure does not help when all 5 mods share this common trait. So we all thought that university life will more forgiving if one wanted more time for other activities. Mind you to make that assumption. It does not happen in NUS Engineering that I can say.
The main problem now is not so much how much one can study, but how much one can think during the exam. So everyone is given the same time, but everyones thoughts will be different. So after the exam, tricky questions still have no answers and tough ones, well, are left for someone more intellectual to attempt. Not me or you. Like the lecturer, who will further attempt to enlighten the most dense of materials. Perhaps its time to coin a new element, brainium. At any rate, one thing is for sure, the next exam will still continue to elude me till the day we can confirm whats in the syllabus. Half the library??
