Exams

Hello,

Exams are coming towards us quick and fast! And I have not even started my revision on anything yet. Not to worry to those who have not started revising - START NOW!

Heh...just a few quotes to spice up your revision.

On Mathematics:

Numbers exist only in our minds. There is no physical entity that is number 1. If there were, 1 would be in a place of honor in some great museum of science, and past it would file a steady stream of mathematicians gazing at 1 in wonder and awe.
- Linear Algebra by Fraleigh/Beauregard

On Physics:

Physics is like sex. Sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.
- Richard Feynman

On History:

Any fool can make history, but it takes a genius to write it.
- Oscar Wilde

On Literature:

[Literature is] an organised violence committed on ordinary speech.
- Roman Jakobson

On Geography:

Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it.
- Terry Pratchett in The Last Continent

Damnit...I wanna get below 2 for my End-of-Year MSG! But how? How...?

The loser,
Zhun Song

P.S. I heard that this Javan guy had 6 exemptions?? OMG, he's alien! >.<

--EDIT--

Wen Hao twanted me to add more quotes, so here you go.

On Art:

Art is made by the alone for the alone.
- Barragán, Luis

Um, I can't find any suitable ones for English, Chemistry and Biology though. But here's a quote of mine on Chinese.

On Chinese:

OMG, I am so gonna fail Chinese! My vocabulary and command of the Chinese language is not up to standard!!! And I need to get an electronic dictionary ASAP. ARGH, Chinese, AH Chinese, 我们分手吧！这是命中注定的！我们就是配不上，不管多努力...... (Chinese quoted from somewhere...haha)
- The loser (especially in Chinese), Zhun Song

Damn, I've calculated that I'll need about 80% for my IHC exam just to get a B3 overall for Humanities? O_O
