Newtonian Win

To summarise today's general studies exam:

• Section A, on methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus was win, mainly because I'd read up on a lot of that when doing research for my medicine interviews.
• Section B, on Newton's discoveries was very win, because Newton is amazing. Who would've thought I'd be able to write about quarks and leptons, laws of gravitation, motion and thermodynamics, and the uses of calculus in a general studies exam! However, there were two questions in this section that I was rather offended by. First, it asked to what extent scientific discoveries and artistic innovations are similar. As a stuck up scientist (who "talks like a dick", as Chow would say), I object to having to compare the superior purity of science, to the field of study they call "art". (I don't actually think this, but it's always fun to stress out the arts students.) Second, they asked to "discuss" the extent to which Newton's discoveries were "progress". I mean, seriously, Newton's discoveries were like the epitome of "scientific discover"! There should be no dispute, at all, as to whether or not they should be classed as "progress". It is simply impossible to argue otherwise.
• Section C, on either paedophilia, or transport. I chose to write the essay on transport, primarily because it is just far too easy to go with the global warming rant. The pedo question was more risky, since the person marking my paper could be a pedo, and I wouldn't want to cause him offense! The essay basically had to be about the problems raised to humanity because of the revolutions in transport technology. I wrote about the issues of energy, road traffic accidents, and obesity, which made me lol. I didn't agree with any of the "issues" that I said, but it's funny to think that some people would.

All in all, it was a good exam. However, this means that the next general studies exam will be far more arts-y, ergo major fail. Never mind, still over a week to not panic for that.
This morning, very luckily, I missed the bus but ended up getting the same bus as Rebecca, my bus buddy! It was pretty sad reminiscing all the many times we actually arranged to meet at the bus stop at 7.45.
7.45!!
Nowadays, I'd be lucky if I'm up by 7.45 for a school day. After the exam, we walked home - we used to do that really often as well. I think we stopped, not because we're lazy, obviously, but because I walk far too slow. It takes Rebecca about 20mins I think, but for me, it's more like 45mins, if I'm pushing it.
Orchestra today was good - the alumni came back!
