Ewww....

IB Physics Paper 2 was disgustingly nasty. Paper 1 started slightly easier than I expected, but got as difficult as I expected.

Paper 2 - did B1 and B4. BTW, what the fuck is the energy transfer over a resistor? Eh? And what's with the stupid British/European terminology that I've never seen before? Damnit, these things need to come with a dictionary.

Oh, and it sucks. Or rather, Mrs. Solomon sucks. Se don't get nice nifty sheets of paper saying that you're taking this IB exam and such and such WITH LITTLE STICKERS! I want my nifty sheets of paper with little stickers... ::sniffs:: They're so motivational... and pretty... and we get to take them when we finish with exams, which I do look forward to...

*WHINE* that was one good thing about Boucher . . . she gave pretty pieces of paper with stickers and information so those of us without memories didn't scramble . . . STICKERS! I WANT STICKERS!

Hehe, we should put up little signs demanding stickers! Instead of the "You may not use these lockers/etc."

I want stickers too!

Physics killed me. Interestingly, though, I did B2 and B3, because I was clueless on 1 and 4.

On terminology: was it just me, or was there one optional question that mentioned something being "earthed"? I assumed it meant "grounded," and it didn't matter because I didn't do the question, but it was weird.

Yes, there was something about it being "earthed"... as well as a number of other strange terminology, and it did mean grounded, but yeah....

Ms. Boucher was a highly competant coordinator. And, she wasn't very pleasant, but at least she was openly bitchy. Besides, she seemed to care about how the IB kids did on exams beyond wanting to look good.
Ms. Soloman is horribly stupid, obviously hates us all, and attempts to hide it behind that stupid smile that makes me want to punch her every time I see her.
Just a couple of weeks and we're outta here. Keep that in mind.

Mmmm, still haven't noticed the hate-us-all from Ms. Soloman. She's just stupid. Although that could also be attributed to lack of experience.

Yes, the smile's stupid. Mmmm, maybe someone should tell her not to smile so much? And that we want stickers!
