Maximum pressure at maximum volumes.
Forgive me, Sir Robert Boyle, for seeming blasphemous of your beloved law. It's just Chem 16 has totally worn me out. I have had enough of my scientific calculator, the Masterton textbook I just have to carry every Tuesday and Friday, those freaking problem sets and postlabs due at the same time, and all the effort I have to exert just to pass (I failed my first long exam anyway).
Since the sem started, I had my mind set toward a single goal: To not let Chem 16 ruin my chances of being a College/University Scholar. I promised my self that this sem would be better since I thought I knew better. I promised myself that my final grade in Chem 16 would make up for that shameful 3.0 I got in Math 17.
And I failed my first Chem exam with a score even lower than the first exam I failed in Math. What a way to start, huh.
And so as I prepare to face my second exam, I try hard to resist the pressure and anxiety that haunt me ever since I started preparing. I have to pass. No, I have to do better than to just pass. I could not afford any more failures and any other forms of mediocrity.
I face this battle alone on Saturday. Pass or fail, I will only have myself to blame. Win or lose, I swear to not give up on every problem. I will give my all no matter what.
Pray for me, please? :)
