Economics: 28.2%
So I need… 21.8% of the 40% to pass, which means getting 55/100 for promos.
So… Congratulations to myself for falling into another dilemma again. I need 2 H2 passes (minimum) for promotion, and looking at it… I need to put in equal effort for all subjects! H1 should be okay, I kinda managed to escape narrowly.
H1 History: Grade E
It should be around 32% or so. Why does good results seemed so difficult for me? I wonder.
Kinda got screwed by GP CT Paper 1. Foreign talent and foreign workers are different! I learned this the hard way but getting 24/50 for my essay. Shucks.
I guess what I really need is a good study plan, and most of all, I gotta stick to it!
(Lack of self-discipline in this aspect really sucks).
Samuel got off the hook by getting full exemption (excluding h1 subjects)! Grats man.
And I hate the day after CCA-training. Body-aches.
My 60%-s are sealed. Well, at least for 2 H2 subjects.
Math: 35%
So I need… 15% of the 40% to pass, which means getting 37.5/100 for promos.
Physics: 29%
So I need… 21% of the 40% to pass, which means getting 52/100 for promos.
I think KH said something like, don’t give up on Physics since I have gotten a sub-pass for it.
I don’t think I can complain about anything, since it was really what I deserved. I didn’t put in the effort, well that’s what I got. It isn’t that bad…? But, figures are really scary, especially when it seemed easier said than done.
Yea, I guess that is the phrase everybody who didn’t get their ideal results would say (or think of) when faced with words of encouragement. But if there is a glimpse of hope… I would rather grasp onto it rather than walking away. In the very end, no matter the result, I could at least say…
I’ve tried.
Anyways. What was more devastating was my economics common test results. 20/55 WTFOMGSCREWEDHOLYCOW. Okay whatever, I know. That is not even a sub-pass! Okay maybe I got highest among the 5 of us, but screw it, man, like seriously.
Oh but GP common test results made me happy for a while. 28/40! Initially I thought my results sucked when I got back the paper, cause I thought the overall was 50. But… yippee!
Screw econs.
Both could care less about math. Sleepy days.
Perhaps it is today that I finally understood what study smart really means. I flunk my physics common test so badly. It’s not like I haven’t tried, but maybe the way I did it wasn’t right. It is demoralizing.
I feel like I haven’t been putting effort into my work. And I never asked why, cause I simply think it is alright and I can live with it. Yea, yea, and the results show. Pathetic results. Short of effort. Where is the motivation, where is the initiative.
God. I am okay with people who believe in god, who have a religion because those are good. And there our principal strikes again. I can’t recall his exact words, simply because he just kept repeating his points. Like Nnehs said, it is blasphemy. And for ****’s sake, he said the tutors are our gods, our angels. Absurd? Duh.
His analogies are beyond redemption. If his intention was to let us know that we have to respect our tutors, just put it that way. Angels? God? Is it even necessary? If our principal was a god-in-reign, he has to be Salmoneus, who was killed by Zeus for imitating him by loudly imitating thunder. The implication? Using authority to demand respect (worship).
And I am still being scolded by teachers for being talkative… ever since primary school. Gee.
I am still in post-camp mood: just feel like sleeping all day long.
Anyways, I missed out a lot on school while I was at camp. Studies, is obviously one of them. Here is how I performed for this term:
Progress Report 1
Attendance: 97%
H2 Mathematics: B (69%)
H2 Physics: E (54%)
H2 Economics: D (56%)
H1 General Paper: B (66%)
H1 History: C (61%)
H1 Chinese: C (62%)Remarks: Nil (WTH?)
Not that bad, eh? I thought I would have failed physics… close shave. Holiday has begun but still have to go back often for tests and extra classes. Darn.
F2/LG6 has funny news today. Yesterday we were told about “don’t date with your campers” and today, the opposite effect has just taken place! It is… very entertaining to hear.
