i'm thankful for the mark though, especially after a number of teachers were out to scare me into believing i had descended faster that i could have blinked.
39/42 renews my supposed rivalry with justin, though we are not even close to some of the perfect scorers and others who got 40 and above in the level.
the two lessons that followed the release of results were met with equal parts disdain and distraction, especially for me as i was trying to talk myself back into a suitable state of mind while looking through some of the most disastrous marks i've gotten in a while.
for English Paper 2, i have a long journey ahead of me to regain the respect of my tutor who very bluntly told me that he was as stunned as i was to have seen my rather dismal mark.
and as for econs, the new dogmatic style of this year's tutor doesn't quite seem to have done the wonders for my grades as the more flexible style of last year's tutor, and i might just revert back to that sort of studying to see if i can achieve the kind of scores i got last year.
and finally, meeting my World Literature tutor after school kind of fired me up to redo a far better Assignment 2, boosted by the confidence of having completed a good Assignment 1.
this, sadly, won't happen today as i have to prepare for a final Chemistry Planning Practical for tomorrow, involving Electroplating if i'm not mistaken.
so ends round 1, time to gear up for the next two, along with IOC come August 11th.
