I'm back, finally =)
Ok the results are out.
Hmm, cannot say that I'm sad over my results, nor I'm too happy with it.
Well, it's just the usual me, when I really put in my best effort.
Even when I did the best as I could, in the exams, out of the 5/6 modules, there will be a few stuff that I missed reading on here and there. And in econs terms, 1 mistake = A-, 2 = B+ etc etc, that's how scary it is.
Well, in terms of probability, the probability that you have zero mistakes for ALL 5 modules is very low, as it is (probability of no mistake in 1 module)^(number of modules), so it is really quite statistically improbable of acheiving that.
So, yah, due to that, I'm quite satisfied bah.
Just that the book prize dream is gone! I think.
But it feels good this sem, despite the very tough journey physically and mentally, I felt that I was always in control, I planned accordingly to the deadlines, I neglected the most 1 tutorial (but I made up for it) out of the many, instead of rushing things last minute and feeling shit after that.
It feels good too to aim (not just aim blindly) and really set out to achieve them, module by module, mark by mark, and acheiving them (all except 2 modules, so it's good lah).
Just that I have to learn my lesson of not merely covering the UNDERSTANDING of the concepts, but also to MEMORISE those nitty gritty details, however unappealing they seemed to my mind. Also, I have to learn to be even more alert-minded during exams, as I tend to switch off sometimes during them, due to mental fatigue or something.
Every semester I learnt something, and I'm happy that I did not repeat any past mistakes, and I discovered new little ones.
Yes, I'm back in the Dean's List, hehheh.
Points secured for Year 4 room stay! =D
