the end does not justify the means

right. got it back.

cannot believe how careless i was.

see.. i guess this is why i might do better for harder papers. i'm more pressured. more pressure=work more efficiently.

i tell you, if lingster saw my paper, he'd kill me. gosh... that was about 1 mark for writing the wrong thing for b over a. i didnt get a lot of time but from what i can remember... another mark gone for not drawing the asymptote x=0. hell, it's the freakig y-axis!! even if i did dot it, you won't be able to see it. spesh teacher drew it in in red, next to the axis. like that, of course can see la!! then you wanna be so yim chim, i be yim chim and tell you drawing the freaking asymptote next to the y-axis...it won't be x=0, it'll be x=0.234.... or whatever non-zero value. ok.. 2 marks for asymptotes. then ah...

translation of hyperbola to the left.. idiot me wrote (x-3) instead of (x=3). my problem. brain not working, stupid careless mistake. so because wrong equation ( i think), the consequent question somehow also wrong. i think that was worth two marks. so now.. 5 marks gone. and that's just in the first two pages. whatever the hell ft was supposed to mean, at least i got consequential marks.

right...can't remember what else i did, but the last question on proving linear dependency, minus one mark.. that one not so sure.. coz she put a 'check?' there... ok.. so that one must check with teacher.. apparently, our papers still need to be crossed mark.urgh...

oh got one more question, 8squared + 4squared =78.. shit la. don't know what i was doing... it's supposed to be 80. got calc don't wanna use. freaking hell. i think from there lost another 2 marks. coz i had to use that value later on for the next part.

sigh... dont even get me started on part 2. she underline acute angle. but hello!!! the cos of teta was freaking negative la!!!! if not... then to find the other angle, it would have to be 360-angle that i found. which would give me a reflex angle. i understand to get that stupid acute angle you have to take 180 minus the angle i found, but that isn't logical. so just because the question told you acute you must go and find acute angle. question don't tell you acute angle, then you'd just leave it, wouldn't you?

fuck this la.


got another three marks minus.. that one ok la. i didn't know how to do.already wreck my brain to get two marks out of the 5 for that question. then second last part-question, didn't write about asymptote. ok lor.. minus another one mark. freaking hell...

got another mark taken off.. can't remember what it was for.

-------------------
tomorrow seeing head of senior school about methods teacher. honestly, i don't know what to say. the only reason i know what the hell she's doing is because i learnt part of it before. if not, i'd be so lost in class. i think i better make a list of what i want to say to head of ss tonight. otherwise, i'll just be there and saying nothing.

urgh...


i'm upset that i'm not quite upset. i'm going crazy.
