Math actually went well. I think I'm certainly going to score 100% this time. That is, if I haven't made any mistakes. As far as I know, I haven't. I mean, after finishing the test I reviewed it and spotted and rectified TWO mistakes. I mean when I spotted the first my heart skipped a beat, because I'd omitted to do the second part of this one sum. I erased the margins and somehow (messily) scribbled it down at the last moment. The second ignorant mistake I made was writing down 16 as the square of 8 in this one sum, and then calculating the square-root of seventeen. I had to strike that out and calculate the square-root of 65, which was a pain, because the proctor was looming over me - time was up. But yeah, in the end it was a satisfactory test - and I may add misanthropically - even more so because the people who are usually a cert to ace the math tests (apart from me of course) collectively did badly this time. Except for a couple of people to whom I wouldn't mind conceding the step right below the pedestal of supremacy (where I stand), my - cough - 'rivals' all did badly. One of them, in fact, said that he did horribly. I quoted this when I was talking to the math teacher right after the test, and she said that she was expecting nothing better from him, since in class he would never admit that he was wrong and instead would always argue with her. I could hardly care less about that boy. Then again, I'm not exactly known for caring about anything except perhaps some very close material possessions of mine such as my computer, Nintendo DS, etc. But that's beside the point right now.
Tomorrow I have my physics test, and to be honest, I can't wait to see what kind of a test that ol' prof-cum-tutor poseur has made. I mean, I'm not trying to be boastful or anything, and definitely not trying to render myself nerdy, but I mean just to satisfy my undying curiosity as to what kind of test he could have set this time. The last time it was so effing theoritical (an amalgamation of logical and theoretical questions, to be precise) that I nearly lost my head at the absurdity of some of them. The problem with real-life questions in physics is that most of the time they pick out some random, uninteresting phenomenon from some remote corner of the planet as though normal people would even give a shit about it if it slapped them on the face. This time there were speculations that the test would contain more mathematical questions than theoretical questions, which makes more sense, because you only have to know the basic formulas and stuff and not conk out in the middle of the test and go on philosophizing about the possible explanations behind a fucked-up phenomenon.
