I wonder what the hell is wrong with blogger..ugh..
Never mind, I shall just continue with what I wanted to say.
So far, I've gotten back MOST of my prelim results. I must say I was surprised, still am, at what I have. I'm thrilled that I didn't screw the prelims up as bad as I thought I did. So far, I am looking at a possible ABB-. I'm hoping that I can at least get a ABBC (unmoderated) and a AABB (moderated). I definitely won't mind to see AAAB though =P , although that would be wishful thinking on my part.
Ma 9233 - 80% Economics - 63.9% Chemistry - 63% Biology- Unknown General Paper - Unknown
I hope Maths and Econs give me the 2 As *prays*. That is IF they lower the A grade for econs all the way to at most a 63 and if they don't push the maths grade up to 81. I reckon I've got a lot to be thankful about. I expected to fail chem, I didn't. I expected to screw bio up, so far, I haven't (ok , not as badly as I thought I would, but still, kinda screwed, could have gotten 70% for Paper 2, but because I was careless, I lost 6 marks =( ) I'm worried about bio now, I failed my structured questions for Paper 3, the killer paper. I got 21/45 =( Surprisingly, I got the most number of marks from the question I spent the least time on, the Izumo question. Ok, maybe I do have a knack for the chapter Sexual Reproduction In Humans (no... not because I'm horny, surf porn sites and hence have an encyclopaedia full of knowledge on it, I just find it fascinating, and btw, I seriously DON'T surf porn, unlike my brother who watches porn with his speakers turned on at a volume that could seriously rival the surround sound system at home). Screwed up the plants question, as usual, like I normally say, I'd rather eat them than study them. Paper 3 is out of 65, meaning the passing mark is 32.5, putting me 11.5 marks away from passing. I'm hoping for errrrm 15 from my essay?? Can't get my hopes up too high, I'm afraid of being disappointed. So yes, my bio results are threading on dangerous territory now, relative to my other A Level subjects. GP has done nothing to alleviate my anxiety, knowing that my essay was sent for benchmarking. That means my essay was either freaking good, or extremely bad. I hope it's the former. I'm hoping for at least a B4 for GP? Oh well...
This morning, the Year 2s were called into the auditorium for morning assembly, only to have a group of people blatantly advertise for prom. It turns out that the turn out for prom is DISMAL. 10% of the cohort has expressed an interest to go. Yes, 10%. I personally find it amusing, and I applaud my fellow year 2s in their refusal to attend. For once, we're united!! So the teachers can't really call it a lack of school spirit, actually, maybe they can, but they definitely can't call it a lack of spirit. At least we showed erm, cohort spirit? In being united against prom? It's not that I don't like the idea of a prom. It's just I don't like too many people in the class to go. And I have close to zero faith in the councillors planning the event. I can't even think of a single successful event they planned. I dread to think that prom, MY BATCH'S prom, will be just another regretful failure for them. For that, I understand why people are so hesistant. Moreover, we're heard way too many rumours about them going for food tasting twice, significantly adding to the cost of prom. Personally, I don't see the need for mobile entertainment as well, considering that they actually got school rock bands to perform, which adds close to zero dollars to the cost. I do think the councillors failed to do their homework prior to planning the event. They should have:
Checked out the venue, and polled us, and that was POORLY done
Polled about the possible turnout for prom, assuming that at least 500 people will turn up is a little stupid, to be honest
Polled about the ideal price range
Polled about the preferred theme(the current one sounds so corny I can't even remember its name)
Anyhow, prom looks like it's going to be a no-go this year. We will be going down as the first batch to not have a prom. How exciting lol. Maybe part of the reason why I don't think I'm missing out on anything is because I had a very formal dinner and dance back in sec 4. Gowns, make up, heels, the full works. It was nice, mainly because of the company. Despite the cringeworthy games, the lame raffle and the soft performances, I enjoyed it because I spent the night making sarcastic comments about my school in a table full of other prefects, yes, close to half the table of people were prefects. This time around, there is no one to crack sarcastic jokes with, make jibes at the school with and no one to cling onto just in case you need to escape somewhere lol. This time around, it's full of back-stabbers, full of materialistic, superficial girls who will compare with each other about how wonderful they look (ok.. I remember zy not going for his.. he said his class' girls will look errmm... like crap with make up on, and then said he was right after his school's prom haha). Ironically, this time, he's the first one to tell me we're evil for not attending something that's being organised for us when he did just that LAST YEAR *coughs*.
This entry is getting long... I think I'm gonna stop now, will continue on another day. Haha.
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
