Like I told Anne and some other people, i've already put in my 100% effort this sem, so if I didn't get 'A's it would just mean that I'm just naturally not intelligent HAHAHA. In fact I'm quite happy with my grades, so I'm in a good mood. Last time I used to be sad over my CAP, but now I'm past that stage, and I've realized, among other things, that we are all limited as human beings. We all can't be good in everything. I already know that if I've done my best, I'll leave everything else to the graders. And this sem I know I did work very hard, and I started my revision early. It was definitely torturous for 3.6, and when I compare it to last sem when I didn't work as hard, and still get the same grades (A-, B+, B+, B, B = 3.9). Haha, the more you study, the lousier your CAP!

Now comes the S/U decision. If I S/U my GEK1535, it'll be B+, B+, B+, B- = 3.75
If I don't S/U my GEK1535, it'll be 3.6.

Lol anyway, this sem has been significant to me. This is the sem where I got my very first A+ for an assignment, and an A+ to me is really a sense of achievement. I'm also glad that I got a B+ for the research module, because my research project was really out of hand and I expected a B- or C+ based on the quality of our project. So that's a miracle. For intercultural communication I really thought that our project was well done, so I guess it was Chen (2005) that made me screw up in the last essay. Probably I didn't explain it succinctly enough. I thought that ad strat paper was easy, but turned out that it didn't reach the A! Our project was well done too, so I think it could be my final paper that went loose.

Overall, I'm glad that this sem is officially over. Now it's time for me to relax and celebrate Christmas, and hopefully catch up on sleep and my friends. :)

Congrats to everyone who did well, and for those who did average like me, let's work harder next sem! :)

Unhealthy
___________________________

Have been mugging when the sky's dark and sleeping when the sky's bright. Not the ideal lifestyle, if you'll ask me. To top off the unhealthiness, how's this: PRATA at 3.30am or around there. And not just once, not just twice.

I have also given speed-reading a whole new meaning.
From a stiffling 600+ pages to finish within 3 days,
It was down to 537,
Then 400,
Down to 328,
Down to 207,
and as of now (3am, third day), it's 126 pages left.

I skim the pages so quickly that I'm worried nothing gets into me, however I'm going to do another review once my once-over is done. 126 pages, eh? Nothing I can't do.

Other people already finished their exams leh! Like a certain anne lim and babe lee. van finishes on 1 dec i think. not sure about ade. for me, well. it's 5 dec. long long long way to go. sometimes i think, the earlier you study, the longer time in hell. i started studying on 12, 13 nov, around there. and my first paper is 23 nov. and my last paper is 5 dec. it sure feels like almost a month of hellish treatment. :( i really can't have this monotony!!!

ya, i know, hang in there. trying very hard to, really. sometimes i wonder, if i didn't buy the textbook, i didn't have to read it at all! ya, and crap during exam. i did that for a lot of modules in sem 1. haiyo! so slack!

feeling very very very very very tired. words. words words. i'm fine with words, in fact, i'm happy to read words, but it's the monotony of it all. the lack of interactivity, it's like me putting in all the effort into understanding the text, but the text refuses to understand ME.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

can't wait for finals to be overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
it's so dragggggggyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
