@Thushan: I found it easy. I did so much practise, and it all goes down the drain. Not confident I'll get that A+ because my worded answers were rushed and may lack some specific terms. I ended up writing essays for them. I want to protest for a hard exam.
I'm scared that I wont achieve that 45+ study score in chem. WHY IS VCAA A BITCH.

I ask that same question every day.... Why VCAA, why?

You must be chlorine cause you are polarizing my bond!

Side note: My mum came up to me today after seeing me watching movies for the past 2 days straight. I told her I have nothing else to do, and I need to relax, because I know that I have to work hard, when I do. She's like, "What about starting Unit 4 Chemistry Nisha?"
I was like, " Thats a really nice joke Mum"
Was laughing constantly for 10 mins:)

We got stuck straight into Unit 4 at school..

We had class after lunch on the day of the exam and although I didn't attend because I was sick - apparently the teacher started Unit 4.

I much prefer mathematical pick-up lines.

I wish you were sin^2 theta and I was cos^2 theta so together we could be one...

Girl you must be the square root of negative 1 because you can't be real!

I wish I was your derivative so I could be tangent to your curves.
