End of Exams

Today was my final exam from my first semester at uni.  It was for cell biology and to tell the truth I don’t really know how I did.  I actually finished about 15 minutes early and didn’t really have a good look over to see what I’d forgotten or if I could answer any questions better.  I just packed up and left.  That was kind of how it was.  When I’d finished reading through the paper during the perusal I knew what it would be like.  I didn’t seem to know anything on the exam.  Genetics, cell communication, cell cycle or plasma membrane.  I couldn’t remember anything.  I baffled my way through and by the end I just didn’t have a good feeling.  I was speaking to a friend after the exam he was saying what he put for some of the answers and I reckon that the blood must have been draining from my face.  I have to wait until the 5th of July to find out how it went and whether I passed or not.

A testing time

Last Friday I sat my chemistry exam.  I know I wasn't ready for it and that was proven to me in the short answer section of the exam.  I didn't get the bit on finding the pH value or even how to balance an equation.  I know that now, but there's nothing I can do.  Anyway, it's all academic now (in more ways than one).  Hopefully I managed to scrape in with a pass but chemistry was pretty hard.  

Another hard exam that I have coming up on Tuesday will be my cell biology one.  This is one that I want to do really well in but I haven't been able to study really for the past couple of days as I've been not feeling my best.  Today though, I seem to be improving and am going to go outside in a minute to continue with my study whilst sitting in the sun.  I'll be revising metabolism and the cell membrane and structure today.  Wish me luck!
