First Day of Exams - Accident Analysis & Prevention. I have to admit when I saw the carry mark I was kinda disappointed. I was hoping for something above 55/60 but I got a 52. The chances of getting an A were well, close to zero. So the day before the exams only I started to study the course. It was a subjective paper so, the questions could be anything. I studied the simple chi-square analysis how I learned it in QA course, and shared the knowledge with everyone. Then I studied the simple calculation about intersection accident research warrant and then I stopped. I figured that no matter how much you read, you still had to figure things out on the day of the exams. I took it easy and Alhamdulillah... It went alright. Being able to finish the questions in time gave me a boost of confidence.

Honestly? This paper was weird. Weird in a way that I had no idea I didn't have any idea about anything in this course. Supposedly Pavement Management is about pavement management. Turned out I underestimated the course. The questions has nothing to do with what I learned all semester long. And I have to admit I am kinda worried about how this would turn up. #nervous. The good thing about this is that everyone felt the same way too. I am not alone.

I used to say that pavement materials is the most stressful subject this semester. Well that was before Statistics test. The subject is indeed tiring, having to go to the lab every other day, while studying for classes and tests, but surprising I managed. I scored top three for both tests and finals seemed doable. I was motivated to go full-blast lecturer on the lab report, which you check it out here. But whatever it is, I hope I did it the correct way. There's nothing good about being overconfident, right?
Prof R is the best lecturer so far. He's funny and he knows everything about the subject. I have high respect towards him and I can only dream to be half a good lecturer as he is.

Last ride of the day! An expression for the final "fun" I had for the whole semester. Statistics had been a crazy ride for me. Making my brains hit a stroke during the test and a heartbreak when the result was published. However, I took all energy and studied full-blast for the finals. Sleeping past 2-3 am and waking up at 6 only to study and study and study. I don't know if I did well, but I did my best. What worried me was that I finished the questions in 1 hour while everyone else was working hard on it. The fact that I used the secret of the calculator should explain how I did it. (Thanks, Dr Rashid and Hj yusof from the QA Course) Did I own it? Or did the course own me? In time we'll find out. All I can say is this subject is definitely not for the emotionally weak.
