This week has been one of a kind. On top of studying for unifieds, the fire alarm went off in my apartment building at 4 am last week. This has happened before, but it usually was in the day time. So, students were either in class and not sleeping. Hopefully the 4 am building fire alarm doesn't happen again! On top of that, we had a leak that started a few weeks ago and progressively got worse and worse in the suite. The weekend before unifieds, my roommates and I had to deal with the problem to prevent complete flooding of our apartment. Thank you to the housekeeping team who mopped our floor multiple times and the maintenance department who FINALLY fixed the problem!
Ok, enough of that "negative nancy" talk. Let's talk about unifieds. We had unifieds last Monday for Genetics, Neuroscience, and Physiology. For term 2, unifieds are 20 questions each and 30 minutes per exam. For neuroscience and physiology, unifieds are worth 10 points. So, essentially each question on those exams are worth 0.5 of a point. For genetics, the score on unifieds is worth 20 points. So, each question is worth 1 point. As stressful as they are, unifieds are a nice way for students to determine whether their method of studying is working out well for them. If not, students have time to go see advisors/professors and revise their study strategy. Personally, unifieds went well. Better than expected, but I definitely have areas that I want to improve upon before midterms.
Last weekend was a complete study weekend before exams. So, I did not have enough time to cook for the week, but I did finish grocery shopping. After my exam on Monday, I was sleep-deprived, tried, and hungry. So, making stir fry was the first thing that popped into my head. I made a large batch of stir fry with beans, baby corn, green pepper, and onion. Delicious!
I'm so glad it is Friday! Aren't you? Happy Friday! :)
