Slaughtered...

Highlight if you want to read...beware, it's going to be... gory...

I am predicting a clean sweep for the maths department this time round. 4-0 in their favour. The papers were not entirely merciless like last semester's Complex Analysis 2 paper or as word of mouth has it, this year's Financial Mathematics 1 paper. They were doable, but not scorable. But it sure doesn't help if you leave entire questions blank!

"I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter" - Jeremiah 51:40a

Ok this is probably out of context. Do you know that lambs, when being led to the slaughter do not even try to resist. They just lie down, and let someone slit their throat. No screaming, just eerie silence.

Sure felt that way this afternoon, and yesterday. Everyone just keeping silent in the examination hall. Being slaughtered...

Well, one more paper to go! Lebesgue Integration. This one is a merciless module. The proofs are out of the world. The lecturer even said, "I am not expecting any of you to complete any of the questions. Your aim is not to complete the questions but to show me the ideas in your head. I am only expecting partial answers, in fact only partial of the partial answers." Oh well... what an exam season!

Look on the bright side! 1 day to go before the holidays begin! A nice long 3 month holiday.
