Rendezvous

I'm listening to Losing My Religion while I slump on the sofa trying out mathematics sums. It's actually quite addictive. Okay, it's a little too late to find that out; I should have realized years ago.
The whole examinations so far has been a fiasco.
For biology practical, we were given 4 substances and had to test which substance was bile, saliva, urine and blood plasma. I don't know what I did, but the yellowish looking one was saliva, and the pale, milky-ish one was urine. I'm only certain that I didn't get the bile wrong, after all, only one tested contained bile salts. Ruby said to make certain of her results, she spit into one test tube and test her own. Why didn't I think of that?!
For chemistry practical, I didn't get to use the unknown organic substance they had provided for us. I even missed out a question worth 4 marks.
Thankfully, I think I didn't screw up my physics practical. Hopefully!
For social studies, I wrote a whole bunch of bullshit. I used a total of 5 writing papers. I couldn't back my answer of the most important benefit of Swiss internal peace was international respect with a logical argument, and I ended up saying how all the benefits are intertwined, and some other rubbish I'd manged to cough out at the last instance.
I hope literature was okay. Although I think I did beat around the bush a lot. I'm doing Shakespeare's King Henry IV. I'll absolutely kill myself if I can't get an A1.
For my math paper 1, I didn't bring in a compass set, so I couldn't do a question.
I finished my additional math paper 1 in less than an hour. It was a 2-hr paper and several of my classmates complained how they didn't have enough time to finish it. I kept wondering if I'd missed out any questions.
I hope I wouldn't have that much to complain about the rest of the papers.
I really should be studying now instead of writing this, and reading poems online.
I really like Sylvia Plath's villanelle, Mad Girl's Love Song. It's a beautiful poem, go read it when you can.
