I had my science practical exam today. Chemistry was still all right. Physics I did it the way it should be done but my answers are very different from all my friends. I mean, for the gradient I got like 20 odd and my friends got 10 odd? Furthermore, they got 10 odd for their T2 and I got 3 odd for my T2. It is obviously very different. Some even got 20 odd for T2. Just who is right?? Okay, because my ramp is extremely smooth. Thus, I got a faster rolling speed? Sound so dumb right. Duh. I hope the cambridge marker will mark me correct. I mean, I did everything according to the requirements. I'm quite suspicious of the retort stand. There was this metal thing stuck in the middle of the stand. That limited my 5cm height. Still, my answer couldn't be so far apart, right??? Duh. Okay, so I stick to the fact that my ramp is smooth. I got a nice piece of wood. (DUH!?) I wonder if my friends got this metal thing stuck in the middle of their retort stand. It they don't then the metal thingy is a jinx. Enough. Okay. Let me talk more on Chemistry. I got zinc nitrate as salt T. Most people got zinc nitrate. However, I was such a goofball. There was supposed to be carbon dioxide gas. Both the tests for gases are positive. It is just that they gave us the test for carbon dioxide to confuse us. In the first place, there will definitely be carbon dioxide if we react sodium carbonate. Right right!!?? Riiiight. The answer is zinc nitrate nonetheless, I think. I can just go on whining about goddamn Physics. I studied very very very hard for this practical. I'm glad I didn't screw up as badly as I did for the prelim practical. I didn't watch television, didn't on my computer, didn't listen to music which was really torturous. I didn't go out, didn't talk on the phone. It was purely science for four whole days. I practically memorised the whole Chemistry practical book. My mom and dad told me to relax. I thought they were more nervous than I was. Anyway, its over. Argh! Physics! I hope my answer will be accepted. I really need to pray very hard. I seriously need to do well for science or I'll be damned. Sigh*
