totally insulted.

it's really quite insulting when i knew i failed my response paper for a level 1000 biz module. i took that module simply because i thought i could score, but yet when i got back the grading for my paper, i was stunned.

13/30. seriously wtf. i have NEVER failed anything in uni before, not even close to failure, and yet i failed a level 1000 paper?!

seriously i dun understand the grading. if this was a level 3000/4000 module, i'd fully understand. but wth, this is a level 1000!! you certainly dun expect your students to write so in depth, and seriously, there's a word limit! my paper definitely wasn't up to standard, but it definitely isn't a failing paper either!

if i'd gotten like 17 or 18 marks, i'd probably have felt sad that i didn't put in enough effort blah blah. but now i got 13, to me, it's disbelief >>>>>>>>>> sadness.

now, i got two modules fighting to be s/u-ed. congratulations man.

ytd was totally not my day. my family had a rather huge fight over our finances. on the one hand, i was hoping it wouldn't turn ugly. but on the other hand, it turned ugly and that's why we managed to thrash things out and made my parents understand the predicament that we are in. tempers flared and tears were shed, but i guess it's great to talk about things that i have been bottling up within myself over the last few years.

so anw, i have two exams to go before the semester is over. at the rate i am mugging, there's no way i can score any A or even A- in this semester - i already screwed up the 3 modules that are over, the two that are left are those that i feel least confident about. so in a nutshell, it's GG for me.

and to illustrate how things can go badly for me, i have an interview 1.5 hours after my first exam. hohoho. now i have 3 exams essentially. wonderful.

shall go watch webcasts now.
