In case you're wondering if I've evaporated to elsewhere like Taiwan, or am I still alive, yeah, I am!
Have been working the very next day after my last paper, first was at Harvey Norman roadshow for 4 days, 1100-2100hr. After which, rested for one day and started work the following day, all the way till now, I'm still in the office. Kinda tired mentally, psychologically and physically. This academic year has been tough, not just the modules, but the work as well. I had been working from January - July 2007, then November - December 2007. No rest, no rest. Right now, I'm negotiating to work from home, which will bring me some extra income if the deal falls through. That will bring my working statistics to January - ? 2008. You must be thinking that I'm nuts, do I need vitamin m that badly? The answer is yes and no. Coz I don't really need the extra income, but I want it, coz I want to live not just for myself... =)
All these explain the reason why this cup of cappuccino has turned cold.
Anyway, I've gotten back my result, scored A, A-, B+, B+. GPA is about 4.3. Hmmm.. You must be thinking that's a fantastic result, yeah, until I tell you that my audit module got B+, while the other 3 are electives, comprising of 1 singing and 2 translation modules. I MCed myself for the advance accounting module (this is the first time I reveal it publicly). My tutor Ai Lin asked me if the paper was so tough that I had to MC. I didn't reply. Initially, I wanted to whack it, only to find out that I had a F for my quiz. Moreover, the project was not superb. Plus, I am weak in the subject fundamentally. With all the combined factors, I was against all odds. The truth is, the F for the quiz destroyed my last bit of confidence. After all, exam is a mind game. Without even a tinge of faith, I could go on no more.
I wonder, why can't the profs just moderate the result, since most people have F across the standard? The same scenario occured for audit, but it was moderated and I got an A- eventually. Why can't the prof be more humane? Why did they do the massive moderation only after exam? Coz they can't retain too many people, coz there isn't enough teaching staff if too many people re-take? What's their problem? Can someone please ask them to wake up their idea?
I wanted to seriously study adv accounting during the holiday, but the job that I am holding on to doesn't seem to encourage. Though I am weary, I am however, ready to conquer my final semester.
1st semester - 3.170
2nd semester - 2.625
3rd semester - 3.026
4th semester - 4.000
5th semester - 4.346
6th semester - ?
I need a GPA of 4.11 this semester in order to graduate with an honors. Possible? Possible.
P.S. Sorry Ai Lin, didn't reply your sms. To all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
