Monday, January 12, 2009 Flunking Chemistry Test
January 12 2009 - Monday A day of failures... A day of stress... A day of wasted effort... But, a day worthwhile. Today began like any other day. When I just arrived at school, I realized that I forgot to complete my geography homework! However, on the same day, we were going to have our chemistry test! Worst of all, I did not study for the test! A new school week, and there are already so many problems. I decided that the chemistry test was more important and began studying for my chemistry test. After the morning assembly, we returned back to our classes and our form teacher began to give us a talk on integrity. I then listened to her and read my notes at the same time! I only caught on some important phrases like “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” I felt that this phrase is very meaningful. Why? If everybody has this phrase in mind, then the world would not have any conflicts or wars and it would be a much better place to live in. Soon, it was our chemistry lesson. But little did we realized that the test was going to be held in the science laboratory, so we decided to stay in the class and wait for the teacher, Miss Boey, to arrive. However, we spotted her on the fifth floor waiting for us. Just then, our class monitor remembered that we were supposed to take the test in the laboratory. We rushed up to the laboratory but sadly, we were late and thus, Miss Boey briefed us on the TfU project before giving us the test. The experiments Miss Boey did for us were fantastic!!! The magnesium strip dissolving in the diluted hydrochloric acid was my favourite. Bubbles and vapour were present, the experiment was one of the best I have seen in school. Soon, after the briefing, the test papers were given out. I began looking through the paper. After a minute, Miss Boey wrote the time the test would start and when it would end on the board. I just ignored it and continued to wait till the test would start. A few minutes passed and I felt that it was odd as nobody was making any noises. I lifted my head and to my horror, everyone had started on their test. I only had five minutes left... My heart was beating very quickly and my mind almost went blank. I quickly rushed through the paper. Sadly, I did not manage to complete the whole paper though there were only about fifteen questions. The early dismissal was the only thing that was good for me today. The O level results were going to be released in the afternoon. I really hope that the batch of 2008 would achieve good results for their examinations not because that there would be a half day tomorrow but because I hope that they would do Victoria School proud.
