Exam Results Are Out!
Yay! *sing-song tone* I didn't fail! I didn't fail! Lalalalalala~!
Lately, I've been checking online for my exam results. I'm not sure if this is the same in M'sia (oh, I'm so out of touch with home! boohoo!) , but over here in NZ, you can actually check your exam results on the Internet. How cool/convenient is that?! You don't have to check your mailbox everyday, wishing that your results would come. Everything's at the click of a button. NZ is very big on Internet. How big exactly? Well, you can't survive without it, basically. Anyhoo... I digress.
So, I've been checking almost daily for my exam results. Out of 4 papers, only Linguistics was posted. B+. That's good, right? (Ok, maybe it's not for all you straight-A's overachievers, but it is for me) Usually, this is good news. I'm a pretty average student, so getting B+ is good enough for me. The problem is, I didn't do well in my exams this semester. (YOU would have known, if YOU had read my past entries) Linguistics was the best one I did, the only one I was confident I could pass. So if I got a B+ for my best paper, what can I expect from my other papers? I was so horrified at the thought of getting C's or worse!
Everytime I log in to the uni's webpage, I'm sort of half wanting the results to be out, half wanting the results not to be out. Conflicting, I know. I mean, I do want the results to be out as soon as possible, so it can be a relief. A thing of a past. So I can relax. However... I'm worried my results will be horribly, horribly bad, and I don't want it to spoil my holiday mood. I don't want it to hang over me like a bad, black cloud. I'm having my holidays, and I want to enjoy it! Hence, the conflicted feelings.
Anyway, last night (or is it this morning, technically?), after getting high on a strawberry pearl milk tea (yeah, don't drink milk products much), I got home and decided to check my results. I've totally forgotten about them for... a week, tops. Then, while my sis and I had our midnight pearl milk teas, I met Jake from Linguistics. We talked about our results. (The guy got an A! I'm so jealous! I wish I could get an A- for once!) He mentioned about that he just got another paper's result yesterday... which reminded me that I haven't been checking my results like I should! So, when we reached home, I took advantage of the sugar high (or milk high??) I had and took a plunge. I checked my results. After all, I was feeling so giddy that I probably wouldn't be too hurt if I did get horrible results. Turns out...
Ethics - B+ ... Much, much better than I expected. I mean, I didn't even manage to finish my essays! Very happy with this one.
English - B- ... Still, not too bad. I did mess up on the poetry essay.
Human Nature - C+ ... The dreaded paper. Disappointed, but definitely not surprised. I hated this paper. Too intelligent beyond my understanding.
So... there you have it. My exam results. 2 B+'s, 1 B-, 1 C+. I must admit, I relied too much on last minute studying. My New Year's resolutions: Not study at the last minute, Do all my required readings before lectures, and No studying at the last minute!
Of course, I say that everytime, but I never do it. I love procrastinating too much. Hehe. We'll see, eh?
