Organic Chemistry Test ....

I just had my Organic Chemistry test ( which is to me the toughest paper ever ) .... I have even broken my own record ... I was still studying this yesterday morning ( which totally went against my principles of not studying a few days before exam ... ) ... but this is just too much for me .... it was 10^n times , n>100000000000 tougher than what I experienced in A levels ... omg ... what kind of language am I speaking now ....

Just to give an idea how the test structure in NTU is like ....

First question was about stereochemistry .... quite similar to A levels optical isomer and stuff .... but I spent too much time on this section ... I am blind when it comes to 3D structure .... and a little of Sn2 reactions were involved ... generally still manageable ....

Second question was all about reaction mechanisms .... this one to be honest is the most redundant part to me in chemistry .... just swallow and vomit .... this part I messed up a bit ... but still okay ...

Third question was about cyclic organic compounds where the conformational structure of a molecule suddenly became damn important .... I totally screwed this part up .... well , I guess this question was supposed to separate really smart people from normal students like me ... haih ...

Fourth question was about benzene chemistry ... it was okay ... just need to talk bad about Friedal-Craft and why it not a good method after all ....

Overall , this exam was very tough to me. The worse part is , right after the exam paper was collected , the first thing I heard was ' this paper is much easier than I expected' ....... OMG .... I was so close to walk over him and strangled his life out of him ..... NTU geniuses memang cannot underestimate .... now I know where I stand .... lol ... next semester I got to work harder already .... as for now ... I need a serious nap ......

Last Forensic ..

I know I am supposed to be studing now , but I must share this ......

Today I had my last forensic lesson. We had a crime scene officer as our guest lecturer. Wa ... it was damn interesting ... lots of REAL crime scene footage ... some really gruesome ....

I think I learn most today in term of application of the previous knowledge .... We even learned how to interview people .... there are skills to make people talk even with the presence of lawyer and without violence ....

Well ... as much fun as I had today , need to study ...

Exam is Around The Corner

My finals is coming in 2 weeks ... so I won't have time to update this blog ....

Give me a month ok ?
