Oh man, this is a long awaited blog entry. I am suppose to update it 3 days ago but I'm kinda lazy and decide to rest and revise for my Tue paper. This is going to be the hardest paper in my 4 years in NUS!
Nothing really exciting happened for the past 2 weeks. It consisted of resting, revising, exams, occasional journal reading to catch on the latest research updates, chatting etc. I had Bioorganic Organic exams on Monday. The paper was fine except that I felt it's more of a Medicinal Chemistry paper than anything else. Advanced Coordination Chemistry was kinda crap; it was really easy and I guess everyone will score really well. This translates to poor grade for this module. Bioinorganic was an interesting paper. For once, characters from Huckleberry Finn came out and discussed Chemistry; we were suppose to judge whether their discussions were sound. Interesting.
Along the way, some of my poor juniors were lamenting to me that the Transition Metal paper and the year II organic paper were very difficult. I took a look at the Transition Metal paper; Prof Hor changed his style in asking Q and it was a really exciting paper. It's more of selecting students for competition rather than exams. I showed Zhijie the paper and he displayed his giftedness in inorganic by naming 5 out of the 10 unknown metals effortlessly. o_O The year II organic paper was pretty challenging too. One of the Q is really mind bending. Hmm...
I guess it's good for our junior to tackle more difficult papers. Or rather, it's good that the profs in Chemistry department now set more challenging papers. In this way, it'll give students the intellectual challenge and stimulation.
Poor Emily dear is having tummyache. Wish her recover fast so that she can go back to her books and concentrate on her presentations. Hope that she'll sail through her remaining paper and presentation in the upcoming week.
Ah yes, election is round the corner and I hope to take some photos of it after my exams. This is the first time in my life that I become more politics conscious and am pretty interested in what's going to happen. But too bad, I am not able to vote.
I think I'll be busier during the upcoming summer holiday than ever. I'll be doing Honours Project, coaching Chemistry Olympiad, preparing notes for Prof. Wu, reading my favourite books, going to categorize my piles of journal articles into a more orderly manner, project X etc. Wah, seem occupied ah. In addition, I'll be looking forward to my upcoming semester, which is my graduating semester. In that semester, I'll be taking 4 organic modules! So exciting!
