Insomnia

I hate it when I cannot fall asleep at night. I tend to get even more stressed out when I cannot get myself to fall asleep.

That was what happened to me last night.

I went to bed at 11.30pm, but by 12pm I still could not sleep.

I tossed and turned, listened to my ipod and tried to fall asleep.

I did, eventually. But I was not really sleeping well. I woke up again, and I was still very alert and not sleepy at all.

Then the tossing continued.

It was so damn hot last night.

Then I slept a little, until an sms woke me up at 3am. Could not sleep even though it was already 3.30am. I then proceeded to "scold" the person that woke me up -.-

But I did fall asleep, and woke up at 7am with a heavy head.

Stress. I was even more stressed because I could not fall asleep.

I hate it when that happens.

All the more since my very first A2 paper was at 9am the next morning.

Further Maths!

It was the paper that required a whole lot of quick thinking. And with my lack of sleep last night, I was worried that my condition would affect my performance in the exam.

But praise God, the headache left after breakfast, and then it was game mode ON, further maths nerd style!

During the exam, I was so super blegh!

This is how I was during the exam :

*recheck the questions I just did*

OMG WHAT THE *%#@ WERE YOU THINKING WHY DID YOU WRITE THAT!!!!!! OWH *&%$@%&^%$%$#^%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pulls my face*

Owh, false alarm..........

It happened many times! My heart just stop beating when it happens. Then I would say to myself, OMG Sherene you have GOT to stop doing that!!!

-.-

I answered one questions during the last 1 minute. So simple yet I could not get it in the first place. I felt so stupid.

I quickly wrote the solution as fast as I could, and when I was done, the examiner took the paper away, and I was still stunned at what just happened -.-

On the plus side, I do not have to deal with further maths anymore :D

In this post, I shall formerly bid furthers maths adieu.

Goodbye further pure maths.



And the topics:


Goodbye summation of series. You were a fun introduction into further maths.


Goodbye polynomials. You were fun to solve, sometimes...


Goodbye i-forgot-what-you-are-called-asymptotes-thingy. You were really time consuming :(


Goodbye polar coordinates. I really hated your sin and cos questions...


Goodbye mathematical induction. You were one of my favourites :D


Goodbye differentiation. You were one of the easiest!


Goodbye integration. There were so many parts to you it gave me a headache to even begin to start revising you!


Goodbye differential equations. I prefered you over the one in pure maths!


Goodbye complex numbers. You were tricky, but I finally got you!


Goodbye linear space. I never really understood you...


Goodbye matrices. I always thought that you were the same as linear space...


Goodbye vectors. You were so confusing at first, but you slowly grew on me :)

Hence, ends the chapter of further pure maths.

But further maths is not over. I still have further mechanics and further stats next month.

Did those pictures of maths give you a fright? Well frankly, its nothing compared to further mechanics and further stats. They are the most awful of all the awful horrors in A-Levels!

Hahaha so yea. I am glad paper one is over. I am grateful to Petronas for forcing us to sit for that paper, because we engineering students need all that math knowledge during our times in university!

Tomorrow, mechanics!

The battle continues...
