Hey guys,
This post is going to be relatively long. Trust me, it is going to be. And since I know that people who read this blog are people who either my close friends or people that i really love ( you know in what way) i'm going to be rather transparent about my prelim grades and everything and thereafter share my after thoughts, my motivation and words of encouragement for my friends Carolyn and Sophia and to those that are currently still in the midst of their prelims.
Well to start off the post, I'd like to say that overall God has been rather kind for these prelim results. I'd just say that he's rewarded what needs to be rewarded and taken away what needs to be taken away. In otherwords for subjects that i put in effort for, he rewarded. For subjects that I didn't put in as much effort for, he didn't reward. Though i'd like to explicitly say that that was completely overturned for history! And to this day, i have no idea why it turned out the way it did?
I'll be so transparent, that i'm gonna give you guys a breakdown of my prelim results. I'm not going to be so transparent so as to show you what i got for each essay viceversa.. But i'm gonna be transparent with the overall grades so as to explain what i meant in the earlier paragraph.
Prelim grades. ( rather sucky but not completely so).
Gp (E or S)=> i'm not sure whether the grading system has changed. I'm overall relatively disappointed in my GP but i'd agree that i probably deserved the grade that i got, i totally neglected Gp, i should have put in much more effort rather than just throwing it aside. After all, Gp is really very important for my studies.
Maths(D)( i won't comment on every subject)
Literature C ( i'm rather disappointed for some of my essays especially the Duchess of Malfi ones, rather alright with some in which i had gauged that kind of grade)
Econs (C) i'm really happy for this one.
History (E) with me failing international and passing SEA which seems like crap 'cos i expected it to be the other way around. And i'm really DISAPPOINTED with this, but i know where the problem lies.. Its with content. And you might say i didn't memorize enough or something but apparently i thought that I did but nothing seemed to stick in my head and you might say that it's not comprehensive enough. Sigh, when am i EVER GOING TO PASS MY HISTORY. Actually for now, all i want for the A levels is a C. Just GIVE ME A C!... Sigh.. I'm really very upset with my history 'cos i spent the most time on it and it had to turn out this way.. Why do things always turn out the way they do.
Anyway, to motivate myself i'm going to set my target for A levels on this blog so everyone will see and hopefully will be cheering me on. :). These grades might seem quite impossible now but hopefully it won't be so for A levels!.
I want to..
Get ...
A/B for H1 maths
B/C for GP
C for history
A/B for literature
A/B for Econs.
Of course the best would be ABCAA. haha. I know i should aim higher for history but somehow i feel that I can't :(. But anyway, let's see how it goes. I DONT WANT ANY D'S OR DISGUSTING E'S IN MY A LEVEL CERT. I want to avoid C's at all costs too but.. Like i wanted an average of C for my prelims. So much for that.. Its more like i got an average of D's :(.
FOR MOTIVATION FOR SOPHIA AND CAROLYN, I'M GONNA WRITE THESE GUYS A LETTER AND PASS IT TO THEM ON MONDAY. I realize that my letters can be quite encouraging. +> self-praise) but sometimes these letters encourage myself when i'm reading them too.
At the same time, i wished that SOME people could be more sensitive with their grades. They did relatively well and all i don't see a significant need in them going on and on about how badly they did and how their father's gonna kill them or whatever.( carolyn and sophia, i'm sure you know who i'm talking about). So much so as to talking about Miss ho about it loudly and talking non-stop. Think about the people who really need the encouragement alright? People out there are upset with their grades and they've done far worse than you. Sometimes, it would be good to be sensitive.. Sometimes this aspect of a personality is more important than any grades that you'll ever get.
My final after-thoughts is that the prelims didn't turn out as badly as i expected but there is still alot of effort that needs to be put into many subjects. If i want to achieve the grades that i set just now i have to work doubly hard and really make sure that I can achieve these. THESE 2 MONTHS ARE CRUCIAL. From monday onwards, i'm going to be staying back in school to mug to at least 5+ already. ( then i still need to have my afternnoon sleep of abt an hr if not i'm gonna die). People, feel free to join me if not i'll be in my favorite corner in the library :)
LET'S GO PEOPLE, THERE'S NO TIME TO MOURN/MOAN/GROAN. IT'S BETTER TO PICK OURSELVES UP NOW THEN LATER, THERE'S NO MORE TIME FOR MOPING THE FUTURE IS IMPORTANT.
For the weekend i'm going to be doing my homework and at the same time will also be writing down the chart for my university applications. Time is limited.
YYY
More Clothes!
Him!<33
