I have to write this!

I just have to write this, even though I've shouted out loud to others but I just have to shout again here!

Ok, the story begins like this.

I had a Physic's experiment's test this morning at 9am. Unluckily me, I got a question on electric, and I had to search the phase angle of 2 sinusoidal signs. Great, I couldn't find my phase angle on the oscilloscope! I was not sure if I had set up my circuit correctly actually. So I asked my professor. She said if we asked her during the exam, she will deduct 1 mark for each question. But I couldn't care anymore, that thing already wasted my 30 mins! And it left only 1 hour to go. So I asked. But do you know what she answered? She said, "Maybe." @.@??!!

Well, at least she reminded me about the button "Autoset" which actually helped me during the "Finding My Phase Angle" process. But I still couldn't find it!

So I gave up, I started the 2nd experiment, which was much more easier. But, it required explanation, and I don't know any, and I left it blank~~~

Return to the oscilloscope.

I don't know what I did, I just pressed anything on the oscilloscope that I could, and finally I found my phase angle. But the value is not stable. Again, I couldn't care anymore! It left only 45 mins! So I just simply take a value from the keep-varying-value that looked nice to me. Finally, after some measurement, and towards the end, the value stabilized. Quickly, I rushed to the computer to key in my values. And of course, the graph that I obtained wasn't good. (I simply took the value at the debut). So I changed them, I INVENTED THEM, under the eyes of my professor! I wasn't thinking at that time, now I am regret. I should have left it that way and add in my comment saying that the error comes from the instability of the oscilloscope or from the wrong way of taking the measurements.

Anyway, it was time to print out my graph, my modified graph. But that lousy printer was striking again! It didn't print! Then the professor came and touched this and that. I checked the time on the computer. 10 more minutes!

OMG! I hadn't write anything on my report! What to comment? Ok, think think. I couldn't think! Ok ok, just write the phase angle increases with the frequency then decreases. Ok, what else? Oh, I don't know.

"Il vous reste 5 mins!" I know, don't remind me.

Finally, the printer printed my graph. Ok, calculate the quality's factor. OK. Calculate the resistance. Ok. Comment. Oh, I DON"T KNOW!

"Allez, allez, rendez vos copies! Sinon.."

Oh no! Please stop shouting. Ok, give a title to my graph, write down my name. Ok done!

The next group had entered. Quick, I had to rush out from the laboratory. So many papers on my desk and I just grabbed them and rushed out.

And I started to talk and complained to my friends. I didn't write any comments, I changed the values, I didn't calculate the error of the theory and experiment! (And I even wrote down the formula at the beginning of the test). NOO! this is a terrible and horrible one!

30 mins gone. It was 11am. I was at my friend's house, still complaining about my test. And how it would affect my average marks. I opened my bag, thought want to check something. And I saw something scary! My table of values!!! I didn't pass it up!! AHHH!

I quickly rushed to the lab(luckily my friend's house is just beside our school..hey, that was not the point). And I entered silently, hoping my professor wouldn't see me. I saw my classmates were doing their experiment, and I didn't say hi. I didn't see my professor, I was glad, actually. But then, she was at her office, just beside the table where we put our papers. Cool!

Oops! She saw me. Smiling awkwardly, I walked in, handed in my table of values.

"Je n'ai pas rendu ma feuille. Je viens de m'apercevoir."

Her face suddenly turned down, just in a twist of time, it became "black". No exaggerating!

Coldly, she said "Ok." Not looking at me.

I was freaked out. I wanted to say sorry but I wasn't dare to stay any longer and I just fled away~~Oh, at least I should say sorry..

How silly I am! I couldn't imagine how many marks would I receive for my test. Why was so I so panic? I didn't stop and think at all during the test. I just kept going into it stupidly.

Next year I have to do better. Have more confidence. Be more seriousness

I couldn't loss any marks for my average anymore. And that average will affect my CV to enter Year 3.

Ok, tomorrow, my last paper. Jia You!
