Legal massacres, statistical butchery and economic screw-ups

I think I died and got dragged back to life again. Seriously. I don't know if that's a good thing or not cause as I get dragged back to life, I have to face the rest of the papers which are seriously gonna murder me. With sharpened parangs and huge double-bladed axes. =p

Monday
The day started out as pleasant as it could for a day where I knew I was going to screw up my exams, thanks to sneaky surprises that send you off into the exam hall feeling a little better.

Law paper 1. Opened the law paper and nearly had a massive heart attack as I only knew how to do 2 out of the 4 essays I was supposed to write! So much for my law and morality notes! I was mentally kicking myself, why didn't I study jury more throughly instead of giving it a cursory glance. And why didn't I read EC law when I roughly knew that they would ask about either Parliamentary sovereignty, the impact of EC law on UK law or the EU institutions. Sigh. I'm a real doofus. I still did jury cause I didn't read the Human Rights Act 1998 therefore I couldn't do the statutory interpretation question caused it was linked to HRA 98 and I studied for SI somemore. Sighsigh. And I only had 30 minutes to do the twisted law and morality question, resulting in 1 page and 5 lines of serious spinned-up on the moment crap! And I was relying on my paper 1 marks to help boost up my overall law grade. Sighsighsigh...

After discussing the law massacre with the rest, came out and studied for Stats 2. And this was another major boo-boo. I lost 7 marks instantly cause I didn't study a part of Chapter 4, thinking that it'd be too simple to come out. And when I was studying Chpt 4 earlier, I was smiling cause I thought that the part was so easy-peasy. Ahh...so darn ironic! And I discovered that I screwed up both my hypothesis test questions. I knew there was something wrong when I redid the question and got different answers for both, where the answer was lower than the significant level, resulting in the Ho being rejected. And I got the mode question wrong too, after drawing the damn graph. And I added more pressure to someone's already overloaded burden. Majorcatastrophicsighsighsighsigh...

Shoot me, or stab me or murder me please somebody. So that I don't have to finish taking the papers and collect the results. Okay, so apparently since I'm not allowed to be shot, stabbed or murdered by anyone, I guess I'll just have to take those papers. =)

Wednesday
Was fairly prepared for Econs 5, managed to read and re-read the past year answers. My only regret before entering the exam hall myself was that I didn't have time to finish going through the Economics Web Guide 5B because it was quite interesting reading material. Entered the exam hall and died. Most people I know did the second question and I did the first question. Sigh. When you're against the trend, chances are, you're pretty much screwed. Sighsigh.. I know why I did the first question. Cause I knew how to do the first part (15 marks) and I took like..half an hour writing 2 pages happily cause I had so many things to say! Then I realised that I was on a time constraint and that I didn't have that many points for the 20 mark part and the rest. Oh die die die! Simply crapped and rehashed the same old tired points. And now I'm a bit worried about my A for Econs slipping away. Okay, I'm more than a bit worried, in fact I'm a heck of a worried cause I need that A to get into uni, but I said that I would not worry so much therefore I shall only be a bit worried. Haha. =p

Came home and was depressed. Instant noodles and texts helped. And so did that hour and a half nap that I took cause it was raining cats and dogs and sleeping always helps. =)

4 more papers and 6 more days till the exams are over. In exactly 144 hours, I shall be done with the exams and only have the waiting to do, which can be ghastly, and the actual collection of the results, which can be horrifying, depending on how well you do!

Nevermind, I'll try to keep my mind on the next papers and hopefully do better on them. =)
