For the first time in my life, I had a chance to sit for a 3 hour Math paper and I must say it's been quite an experience. For one, this being a 3 hour paper, it meant we could all take turns to go to the toilet, multiple times. Doesn't that sound great? Anyway, apart from the toilet breaks there is really nothing very exciting about being seated for 3 hours doing Math. Rather I'm more used to sitting in front of the computer and doing Math for 3 minutes which sort of explained my restlessness during today's paper. All the same I somehow or other managed to finish my paper even if it meant giving wacky answers. For example there was this question asking why m<0. I read it and I asked myself too, why must m<0? Alas it was a trick question or so I thought thus I gave a reply, cos that's the way it is. I mean why else would m<0? Why must we all be so negative? Let's spread some positive cheer around here shall we?
That's beside the point since that m<0 bit was worth only a mark; but the part behind it which seemingly required prior knowledge as to why m<0. Ah, that one I couldn't do either and it was worth 3 marks. Damn. Needless to say, I'm not too sure about Math now that I'm reflecting about it. But it's too late for regrets. Only thing I can do now is to look forward to Physics and see what other nonsensical answers I can flood the examiners with.
