Form 6: Sem 2

We have marched into a new semester for a month, and this semester proves to be quite hectic as we have many things to study and many projects to be completed.

So far, Pengajian Am is fine. The graph drawing is pretty useful, but the marking scheme is way too stringent and the time given is severely scarce. The structure questions on dasar-dasar, in my opinion, are killers because obviously nobody can remember all the dasar so well you won't get them confused and write them all out without given any hints or choices. One and a half hours to complete 4 structures, 1 graph and 1 essay..you think it's enough?

Maths is fine. Calculus is to be studied this year and so far everything's good. Differentiation is very nice but integration is downright annoying. How differential equation and Maclaurin series would appear would have to wait for the next month.

Physics is fine too. My teacher is teaching very fast and he has completed more than half of the syllabus. He has covered till Kirchoff's Law and Potentiometer. The project with 'heat' as theme is a bit intimidating because 1) we are the first batch to do the project and there's absolutely no reference and 2) what can you write about heat?

Chemistry is the worst so far. I hate electrochemistry and sadly that's one of the 7 topics covered in this syllabus. I always got anode and cathode confused, and the standard electrode potential itself is disconcerting.

4 more months to go. Guess I'll see how everything winds up.
