the mid years i was so worried about, have yielded results which signify that my worries were cogent - i'm quite displeased...
given i only had 4 days or preparation and my determination was at an all-time low, i can hardly say that the marks are unrepresentative of my ability (though some things, like the bio pract, i must vehemently protest)...
so, a summary:
LA (A) - 20/25
LA (B) - 14/25, a ridiculous feat of low-ness...
LA as a whole - 68%
IHS - 23.5/30, 78%, moderated to 88%...
Chem - 69%
Physics - 65%, my lowest, but satisfactory, considering i studied 1 and a half years' work in half a year =)
Bio - 68%, with a 2.6 pract out of 5, urgh, compared to my 4.7 in physics...
C math - 60/100 for paper 1 (a fluke i hope), 82/100 for paper 2, 71%
A math - 71/100 for paper 1 (another annoying paper), 96/100 for paper 2, 84%
Chinese - 70%, my most satisfying...
average - 72.9%
dismal? no doubt...
everyone in class was like, start studying for EOYs now!!
ET even asked for a tuition gp...
i dun think we have that much resolve...
chinese Os next though, i really want that A...

and she said yeah,
