oh meee oh myyyy...

well..just got home from math tuition. hmmm....
what can i say? where do i start...?

@.@

last night, went to tuition too. well, the teacher said that this paper that i am going to sit for is REALLY HARD. well, i know that already laa. =.= and he said i need MINIMUM three months to cover Trigonometry if i am smart. =X aiks...i only have a few days neh!! and......i don't know if i am smart or not tiam. faints.
well he said just hope that the questions that come out are more on probability, statistics and quadratic equations. goodness, i am praying hard!!! >.<
because this sample paper that i downloaded from the university site......16 out of the 20 questions are trigonometry/add math questions. GAH GAHHHH....
and my math standard is only SPM and SAT lorr..


in the past three weeks, i have covered 12 out of the 21 themes/topics.
only 12, you might ask? well, for me it is quite alot laa.. =X
Indices.
Surds.
Graphs and coordinate geometry.
Simultaneous equations.
Polynomials.
Quadratic functions.
Sequences and series.
Binomial expansions.
Matrices.
Probability.
Measures of central tendency and dispersion.
Discrete random variables.

PHEW. alot right? well...NO. because i have not covered trigonometry.... and as i said, more than half the paper is about TRIGONOMETRY!! oh me oh my. WHY WHY WHY???

tonight...went to tuition again. at a different teacher. lol.
and she said that the math questions are for people who want to be engineers or something. what are they in my entrance exam for the Bachelor of Education course?? I HAVE NO IDEA! plus,'i'm majoring in English.. not math. GAHHHHHHHH... sure i expect to do basic math in university..but not add math and trig. @.@

showed her my textbook.... she looked at it. and from the expression on her face....i wanted to faint. =X she said it would take her two years... TWO YEARS to teach the things from that book. and i had like what...three weeks?? OH MY.

stuff i have not gone through?
-trig functions.
-exponential/logarithmic functions.
-functions. *scratching head--why so many functions ah????
-inequalities.
-differentiation.
-integration.
-permutations and combinations.
-normal distributions. *normal distributions?? so is there a math topic called "abnormal distributions?? lol.
-sampling.

@.@ how ler?

well,tonight teacher went through the questions in the sample exam paper...
goodness...as she explained..i listened as hard as i could and tried to cram all that info into my tiny little brain.
but after a while....i could feel my head spinning.. my eyes getting blur...
one questions asked to "Convert the parametric equations x= sec t and y= tan t into a Cartesian equation." what does it mean? i have no idea....lol
well........i saw the word "paramedic" instead of "parametric". and i almost asked her why a paramedic was involved in the question...luckily i kept quiet la. >.<

finally got home...after about two hours of math math math and non stop math....
i walked straight to the fridge and got out chocolate and milk.
terus felt so CALM!! lol......
seriously stress. yet feel so at peace. the amazing thing about chocolate. =D

all i know is i've studied as much as i possibly can. =X
all i can do is try lorr.. sigh.


"Hope for the best... Prepare for the worst."
i am so hoping that i can at least pass this entrance exam and get into the university.
preparing my heart just in case i dont get in... where do i go then? still thinking... because i ont really wana go oversees! >.<
oh well....God help me.



good night.
