A lesson learnt

Today had the 2nd quiz for mathematical engineering. We are seated at the seminar rm while doing the quiz. My neck and back was hurting from overly bending my head just to write the answers. I was not thinking straight when i reached the 2nd question and i just skipped the finding of matrix to the power of 100 and just solved halfway; matrix to the power of one. After finishing a long computational qs 3, i couldnt bear it and i just handed in the answers though I still have lotsa time left.My head was thinking, that question only 4 marks, if i manage to complete it, i would get 4 marks, if not, i just have 2 marks deducted and this could save my neck. I didn't know i wud regret later because after the others come back to the office, it seems like most could do it. Jialat, I should have sat there and think abt the qs and just ignore the uncomfortable seat. I have forgotten this is no longer undergraduate studies. This is postgrad studies which everyone wud try and maximise the marks. I have learnt my lesson, I should not be complacent for being able to do all the qs besides that 2 marks which i refuse to think. I should have sat there and think abt it. This is a postgrad war, is no longer the familiar war that i had in undergrad. I shall keep this in mind for my final exam. I should think as hard as possible and not dismiss any qs as a worthless qs to think. Luckily, I learnt this during the quiz and not during the exam :)
