post checking of papers
October 17, 2009
I’m quite happy with my marks even tho its not that good. But I managed to barely scrape the next grade for many of the subjects, so i can say i 赚了!
History was the worst. I knew I crapped alot for the essay question, and i thot MAYBE i could get away with it. But of coz i didnt. The teacher wrote at the back ‘u don’t seem to be quite sure about your points..’ yeahhh okayy i know.
Actually there were quite some surprises during the getting back of the papers. Subjects that i thot i flunked, I actually didn’t. And those i thought i didn’t, I did. And of coz not forgetting the joke of the year: Math PPA 4.
My chinese marks were very reassuring for me. 69%. I know it isnt great, but its awesome and unbelievable to me. After working alot alot harder for chinese this year, I got like 70% for the first test, but that was coz the chunks of standard yet impressive phrases I memorised suited the topic so perfectly. And subsequently about 65%s? And I was quite worried that my chinese efforts could only work that once when the paper is to the liking of my memorised stuff. So when this recent paper WASN’T, I got panicky and all…. yeah so the fact that i got 69% makes me more confident of the Os. But having said that, I’m starting to feel abit apprehensive again.. :/
AND chemistry. My efforts paid off. (: even though the paper was like super easy, I did better than most people so thats another confidence booster.
AND then, there’s Xiaomin who just rips you of all self-pride.
