Got back my test results again. I always look forward to getting test results, no matter if it’s good or bad. I have to admit that this is a very good semester. My results are better than the past for some reason.
I got my Organic Synthesis and Reaction Mechanisms (OSRM) back. I got 29 out of 40 for one section and 59 out of 80 for another section. It’s not really fantastic results, but I’m contented. Perhaps I’m too easily contented.
A couple of my friends fail one of these test. Pei Shan got 40 out of 80 this time, she got herself 76 (somewhere around there) out of 80 for the previous test. I wonder what happen, I guess today wasn’t her day.
Two tests next week. Unix and Windows Operating Systems (UWOS) and Quantitative Analysis (statistics module).
I always felt weird when pronouncing UWOS. Try pronouncing it. My friends pronounced it as “you was”. Every time before I can say UWOS, my brain will send a countering information reminding me the importance of a subject and verb agreement. My friends say “you was”. My brain says “you were”. I accidentally blurt out “you were” before, I am supposed to be correct, yet I sounded stupid as I have just used it in an incorrect context.
So should it be “you was” or “you were”? From now on, I’m just going to call it – “Unix”.
