Free time / Exam Debrief

Well, I've certainly had a lot of free time on my hands recently. So much that I sometimes don't know what to do. Right now, I'm trying to pick up grade 1 music again, and have quite some trouble with the theory:P The flats and the sharps are particularly abstract to me, but well, I'll just keep going slowly. My enlistment date is 27 March, so I'll have about 3 months on my hands. I want to do relief teaching next year if I can, and I want to teach maths or chem. If not, then I'll just do whatever job I can find.
Ok, now for exam debrief. For those who do not wish to revisit those memories, please skip the next 2 paragraphs. I'll just keep it short because I don't want to say too much about what is in the past. In the words of coach (approximately) after the friendly match with RJ:"It's history. It's over. We can't change what happened, so just focus on what is to come and learn from your mistakes."
I am particluarly disappointed with myself for Physics 3 and Chem 3. This is because I was inadequately prepared for the option topics on both occasions, and this was rather terrible. In the case of Physics 3, I really didn't see that the expression to be derived in Q4 was E=V/r, so I was stumped there. And the worst thing was that I actually used that expression in my working later on without realising it. The examiner must be laughing at me now. And Q1 was rather simple but made to look tedious, and so, I left it to the last and left it unfinished as a result. -sigh- I can't believe that i actually let the marks go so easily. I wish that I could have been more organised for the essay papers (GP1, EC3). I am used to an unorganised, just whack approach for essays, and this resulted in my not developing my points fully, and not explaining stuff enough. An example is GP1, when I didn't get to explain comparative advantage as I should due to lack of time, and I have one toilet break to thank for that. The rest of the papers were seemingly ok, so I will not comment about them. What I do know is that God saw me through the whole thing, he provided, and that is all that I need to know.
As we wait for results, just trust God. His grace is sufficient. Nothing is too hard for Him.

"And the peace of God which trancends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
