I realised a number of things during my "study break". First, NTU is absolutely shitty in the sense that they still teach new stuff even though it's the last week of lessons. I'm the most incensed by the amount of content they tried to cram into MAS183, linear algebra and multivariable calculus. We've covered about 80% of our linear algebra text and almost half the entire chapter of multivariable calculus from James Stewart (and that's a lot). I've been preparing "cheat sheets" for every topic as I feel it's good revision. I've managed to cram 112 and 182 into a single A4 paper, but guess what, for 183, I had to use, not one, not two, but THREE whole A4 size papers, filled on both sides. The people who plan the course syllabus for physics really should sit down and think of the quality of learning rather than the quantity.... sigh.....

Second, I've just completed the PAP113 06/07 paper and while checking answers, I realised one thing, I've been made paranoid by "tougher" modules like PAP111 and 112. I come up with a simple answer first, and upon looking at the weightage of the marks, I will overthink things and come up with a more complicated solution that's wrong. And it'd turn out that the simple solution would be correct..... Maybe next time I'll just write both answers down. Prof Sum said that he would mark the cancellations too.... I hope this holds for Prof Shen as well....

God Bless to all Physics students in this coming exams... May you be given wisdom and the clarity of thought.

PS - Walter Lewin is damn cool....
