after all that ranting about being a slacker in the last post, i decided to try moving my lazy ass and doing some homework today (erm, yesterday?). i started off with econs, but seriously it's tedious as hell. i mean, i could probably do it if i wanted to, and even if i couldnt most answers can be lifted wholesale from notes, but the damn thing is just so tedious. come on, who the hell wants to write 5 freaking lines worth of crap to get that measly 2-3 marks? it's especially frustrating when the concepts are clear in your head, but to write it out is such a chore. this is precisely why i wanted to be a science student, but even then econs is still there to haunt my school life. and sadly, chemistry has also evolved (devolved?) to become another writing-intensive subject, which leaves physics and maths as the only 2 subjects that i dont get immediately turned off by.
so quite naturally, i gave up on econs and went on to do maths P&C. i know that many people have been saying that P&C is some horribly difficult maths topic and all, but i find it surprisingly refreshing. P&C is really just a test of logic with a bit of maths added in, and i like tests of logic because it means i get to think of everything on the go and dont have to memorise anything before the exams (which means slacking ~ :D ). compared with repetitive, memory-intensive topics like differentiation and integration (in case you cant get the hint, my two most hated topics), P&C is actually one of the more likable. still, there is quite a thick line between "likable" and "manageable", and most of the time i had to refer to the answer key and correct myself numerous times. im guessing the main gripe that most people have with P&C is that it is so logic-intensive that written working is reduced to one or two lines at most, and arriving at the answer can really become a case of hit or miss if you dont know what you're doing. still, i eventually finished it, so now all i have to do is the rest of econs, physics filing and tys mcq, and the 5 maths promo papers. haiz, still a really long list... well, progress is progress, and progress will eventually lead to completion. im just hoping that "eventually" means "before 11 jan" :X
here's a song i cant get out of my head nowadays. i like the whimsical tune and fairytale-like lyrics, but unfortunately it usually causes me to daydream when i hear it while doing homework. oh well. Fireflies by Owl City:
