I almost forgot about the existence of this blog until today my friends were talking about it. While I didn't say anything much, my head was suddenly enlightened with an "Oh! Now I remember I have a blog!" kind of feeling, and here I am posting.
And what better time am I posting, because this so happens to be the DOOMSDAY everyone was going crazy about - the doomsday being the return of promotional exam results of course. It is indeed a day of mixed feelings, some people go "YES I PWN LOLOLOL (very very rare, if not impossible to find)", some people go "Oh shit gg advance/retain/never score high enough to match up to personal expectations or to beat so-and-so (KILL THESE PEOPLE PLEASE)", and some people go "Well it's okay but I know I could have done better than this."
I have a short message for each type of person:
"YES I PWN LOLOLOL"
Well done
"Oh shit gg advance."
Well I'm pretty sure life will still go on, so don't be too sad and push yourself too hard. I know the pressure you will probably face by your parents, like "WTF YOU HAVE TO DROP ONE UNIT! I KEEEEL YOO!" But just take things in your stride and go on with what you have, and I believe things will become brighter as time goes on.
"Oh shit gg retain."
I think nobody who reads this blog has retained. If there's such a person, well I'm sorry but gg :/
"Oh shit gg never score high enough to match up to personal expectations or to beat so-and-so."
FUCK YOU. Seriously, fuck you.
"Well it's okay but I know I could have done better than this."
I'm pretty sure many people fall under this category. They are kind of happy with what they have, yet they somehow know they can actually score higher and get that extra mark. Well, it's good to have this mindset as this is what keeps you improving, but just a tad bit too much of this will bring you over to the "fuck you" zone over there, so be careful. Yea, and to encourage you, work harder and I believe you will improve next time :)
It is a day of uncertainty, where it silently creeps up on you and soon enshrouds you without you knowing what's going on. Fear not though, for what's done is done, so just let bygones be bygones and work harder towards a better future (and hopefully better grades too). For now though what I'm going to do is to soak up the holidays, enjoy myself by immersing myself in games (both computer and real-life), and prepare for the expedition to Nepal come the end of the year. Yeehaaaa!
For those of you who wish to start studying immediately, I believe it is a conspiracy by the school to make us keep studying on an on in a vicious cycle. If I remember, I will post about this next time. For now, ciao it's time for TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN WOOOOO!
P.S. For those interested, my grades are BBBCE. But please, don't start comparing, thanks.
