A rambling post

Physics this year (this school year, I mean (or maybe just this semester, the next might be better)) is one big disappointment. First we get a lousy teacher (it's amazing how I survive) and then now we suddenly push our lab test (sorry, I don't know what else I can call it, any ideas?) forward a week, so that: one - we couldn't finish all the experiments that were lined up for us (hey I like Physics okay!! And labwork is nice...if we weren't given marks for it...:/ ), and two - we were completely taken by surprise; we already had a Mechanics test the same week, and half of us have our Chemistry lab test as well! (and poor little me has a Spanish oral test that she's gonna have trouble with...luckily it's only comprehension and we don't have to speak!)

[okay, I said lousy teacher, but she's quite nice, I guess...or tries to be...she certainly doesn't try to be evil ;)]

This beats the other time when we had 4 tests in 7 x 24 hours (I wrote a post about that, remember?) So here's my test schedule for next week:
Monday: Mechanics test
Tuesday: Spanish oral test
Wednesday: Physics lab test
Thursday: Chemistry lab test

The only times we should have this joyful get-together of tests is during end-of-semester exams!

Another thing...
Today was HOT! (the weather report says that the highest temperature was 17°C) In early afternoon (around 2pm) you could have walked around in a t-shirt and shorts and felt great (just like a cool day in M'sia...) And this is called winter?! Hmm...the effects of global warming? Judging by the temperature just before Christmas, it wouldn't seem so... (it was around 0°C (or less!) at the time...)
