The Eyes of the Dragon (BR)

T

The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King One of King’s earlier novels, this story is more of a fantasy than the horror he is best known for. The book’s setting is in the kingdom of Delain, where King Roland reigns. Quote: Roland the king was neither the best nor the worst king ever to rule the land. He tried very hard not to do anyone great evil and mostly succeeded. He also tried very...

The Father-Thing (BR)

T

The Father-Thing by Philip K Dick This is the third out of five volumes of PKD’s collected short stories. The 25 stories written in the period somewhat over a year before the author’s first published novel. My favourite in the collection would have to be ‘The Hanging Stranger‘, in which a man on his way to work notices a corpse handing in plain view. His disturbance at the...

Chemistry Paper (Exam 5/5) Last Friday I had my chem exam. It went much better than expected, although as a friend once said in conversation – “In physics, they test to see what you know, in chemistry, it’s to see what you don’t know”. Probably made a lot of mistakes. But here’s the best bit about it… It doesn’t matter anymore. Or at least, it does...

*woohoo* No more gravity, no more light, no more structures. Who needs that stuff anyway. The thing with physics (and other science subjects) is that they split the course into two, and so there’s a midyear exam as well. That means that each exam is worth less than for subjects like English, and therefore, even though they’re important, the feeling you get is they’re...

Math Methods Paper 2 (Exam 3/5) *woohoo* Had my second maths exam today. Extended answer. I didn’t manage my time too well, but finished OK, and had time enough to look over some of my answers. I think I did pretty good on this one, there were a few that nearly stumped me, but I think I got them all right in theory – any mistakes I would imagine will be just silly mistakes. Obviously...

Math Methods Paper 1 (Exam 2/5) The worst thing about maths is that they’ve got you sitting two exams for it. Which means, that after nearly two hours of tackling antidifferentiation and binomial probability questions (last Friday), I can’t even enjoy the feeling of being over and done with the subject. To make things worse, the first maths paper is the easier one (multiple choice)...

English (Exam 1/5) I have to say that it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The problem with English assessments, besides doing well, is trying to keep oneself not overly bored. I find that I write very quickly, worried that I’ll run out of time, only to finish with so much time to spare that I end up filling up a blank page with little stick figure men. The exam was 15 minutes...
