Really disappointed with myself... Flunked yet another test. That sets me thinking : How come some people can do well even when they do the minimal and you don't seem to even get close to them even though you spent a countless amount of time on it.
I know this is reality but reality hurts at times. Time management and smart studying is the key i suppose. Cannot finish the test in 2 hrs? You gotta write a hell lot faster than what you did today. Know your stuff and do it well. Result was lousier than expected and it turns out that way. Below mean again. So, i might as well concede defeat in the rat race to the front of the bell curve.
My work hasn't really paid off as it was supposed to be. Constant tutorialing, constant questioning has not kept me above the surface. I am like partially submerged in a sea of complicated physics content which sometimes you think you know but sometimes you think you do not know. Of course, my grades are certainly not somewhere in the middle, just an analogy there.
It's quite sad how one can get poor grades for something that he really likes relative to other modules and get better grades for the less interesting modules. To be frank, i prefer QM than any other PC modules ever taken. It seems that when one likes the module more, the worse he/she performs for it. Maybe i should just start hating QM. But, i reckon it's a bit late. The damage has been done. 2 15% CAs certainly has put some people way ahead of me and it will take a miracle for me to climb all the way up. However, i am not 100% dejected because i believe i can do it in the final exams. Statistics and trend has shown that the worse i do for my CAs, the better i do for my finals. But, this time round, with a very pathetic cohort of 31 people, it seems that the stage has been set for nothing above a B-.
However bad i've done in my test, one must realise that it's not end of the world. Certainly. Exams are a very good avenue to redeem oneself and atone with the mistakes one has made. I am sure i am somewhere in the middle of the cohort but just that sometimes it takes more than just hard work and intellect to judge where you're standing.
Thanks to the 2 CAs i've realised the importance of the final exam and i will definitely strive for the best, not disappointing people who has expectations of me. Most of the stuff have already been revised and now the magical touch is how i am going to perform for the finals. Please, god, help me for this time. Please let me smell a cap of 4 this semester round. Please, please. Nothing beats the realisation of good results when you're away on a holiday. You know i studied and please reward me with fruits i deserve. Thanks!
