An update on the current state of my ordinary life

Well, exams are almost over - I just have 2 more to overcome. I'm really not confident in my performance, I have to admit, especially for GP and geography (the last question. It was on a case study of TNCs which I didn't have time to research on, so I just spouted anything and everything I could come up with, in the hope that I might get at least 1 mark. Though I don't think the teacher is so easily hoodwinked. But you can't blame a girl for trying, can you?)
For GP, I practically had no examples, and I think my writing style sucked. Bigtime. Imagine my utter apprehension when I emerged from the classroom overhearing that most of my classmates had chosen a certain question because of notes the teacher had given. I'm really worried that I'll be the worst-scoring; having low marks and being the bottom doesn't do wonders for one's self-confidence, after all. I generally like to think that my paper 2 was better, but after the unexpectedly abysmal marks I got for the last practice.. I don't know. I can only hope.
And for geography, I feel that that was such a pity. I'd been so prepared for certain things! But no, they had to ask that accursed question on the only topic I didn't have time to study in. Really, I was strapped for time. I only managed to start studying Geog 2 days before the paper. Not 2 full days. One was the morning before my GP paper (on wed. Thu was my Geog) and when I came back from the exams in the evening. The second was in the morning just before my physics paper, and in the 2 hours just before my Geog paper. I had no other option. I was so prepared for physical Geog, and certain topics in human geog,too! Curse the setters of the paper.
Oh yeah, to make matters worse, Geog was on the same day as physics! So yeah, I was really stressed and anxious. I couldn't eat lunch on wed- my attempt led to me vomiting. I was irritable on thu. That's why I hate exams.
Today was Chinese paper. It was the earliest I've ever been dismissed from school! ^^ It wasn't too hard, except maybe the front part where I had to guess at the meaning of the words. Passing is a sure thing, but I'm worried about getting an E grade.
So now all that's left is math and Chem. I really need to pass. I don't wanna be retained. Especially chem. But I'm worried for my math too because there is a topic I haven't managed to cover (sequences and series, which is incredibly annoying because I hate dealing with number patterns). I suppose I'll have to begin tomorrow.
Just now I was checking my email, and I'm unpleasantly reminded of my impending internship interview.. It's on next Wednesday, just a day after my last exam. This means that I'll have to start preparing and gathering information earlier, maybe tomorrow too! I'm really hoping mom can help me with this one. I have never gone through such an experience before. I'm worried there'll be sarcastic or scary teachers around.. T.T
This afternoon was spent playing ps2 games with my brother and loading up my brain with fanfiction. I finished a hikaru no go one, read a deathnote AU one (and they censored all the lemony goodness, which I'm NOT happy about. Honestly! The author said I could find the link of the uncensored one but it's not there! Depriving me of my daily dose of lemonade, how dare you! I'm gonna suffer from lemons withdrawal syndrome, I tell you!) and found a deathnote-cum-code geass one(brilliant! Two geniuses interacting, and there's the promise of a bit of shonen ai! Though it's not what's important about the story). It is really interesting to see what will happen. As you may know, light has a god-complex, while lelouch believes in a hero, a ruler, somebody who is human and noble. I bet the latter's an atheist.
They both have the same ideal- justice. And their methods of operation are complete opposites - light as Kira was not the name he gave himself, and he preferred to remain obscure, while lelouch as zero is dramatic and regularly appears in the media, monopolizing the spotlight like an experienced politician. How will two very different people interact? Will they work together or against each other? And how will they choose to battle it out? It's really a plot which piques my interest. I'm hoping the author's muse pays him/her a visit soon. The story hasn't really gotten into the swing of things yet.
Well, I know I've been babbling quite a bit (who am I kidding; I've been babbling for about 10min!!) and I really ought to sleep now. Though I often wonder, is the blog's timezone set differently from my own? because it's 10.21pm here. I wonder how to set the correct time? (excuse me for being a noob!)
