prelims have proven only one thing to me. that i can maintain a doubling of workload with the same standard. unfortunately that standard wasn't very high to begin with. up to you how you wanna read that. with only about 37 days left, i'm not even sure if the time i have left is enough to set things right. which leads me on the train of thought to - if i really am going to fail, maybe i should start making some alternative plans for the future.
math and econs were at the same time, dismally disappointing yet extremely expected. i'd hoped for at least one grade higher for both subjects, but didn't turn out that way. which is frustrating because i'm doing better for MCQ now. GP was a huge relief, especially with regard to my essay, which i blogged about a couple of entries earlier. histP2 wasn't good, but it was much better than what i expected and i'm really lucky to get that, whilst histP3 was more annoying cos i think i definitely should have gotten a grade higher for it (which also would have pulled up my overall grade by one grade). lit's fine, the scripts i've gotten back average a near A, so far so good but those were for my better texts and i didn't fully complete 2 out of the 5 that i haven't gotten back yet, so i doubt i can push past the A barrier.
ugh, the thing with subjective marking is that sometimes you get lucky with randomness, and sometimes you don't. if the strict teachers mark your lousy scripts and the more lenient ones mark your
good relatively better ones, you might just end up with a decent grade after everything averages out. however if the opposite happens, you're pretty screwed. i think that happened to me quite a bit this time. (and here comes all the typical self-consolatory justification) i'm not saying which subjects, that would make it obvious who i'm referring to and i don't want to be charged or suspended under sedition, libel, or whatever other ridiculous (and arbitrary when applied to the blogosphere) law jargon that money-minded me hopes to be spouting in a few years time.
or maybe that's all just self-delusional drivel.
