Results Out

Okay. The results are finally out. I'm two days later simply because of the so-called sanction, which is caused by "incomplete documents". What a thing to sanction. Hahaha *sarcasm intended*.

In overall, I am grateful with my results. Well, at least I passed all. Congrats to me.

I am not happy with my results though. There is no HD at all!!! I understand that this is the second year and if you managed to pass you should be satisfied. But still, looking at my results make me feel that I can do better.

In a way, I think my results are kind of cute. Three out of four papers score the exact same marks. LOL. Speaking of consistency here, my effort is rather proportional here, I suppose. I deserve such marks for all three papers, although I must admit, I put in more effort for PP and PEA compared to Chem 102, which I only studied the night before. This may be due to my overconfidence due to prior study in most of the topics when I was in form 6. Well, this is enough to teach me not to be too complacent but to strive harder for Chem 101 next semester.

Thermodynamics is a killer subject. I know I should be grateful I can score a credit while some could barely pass or even failed to pass. But still, I feel like I could have done better. Sure, the paper itself is a bomb, and I studied hard enough, I honestly felt like I should be given a D. Sadly, the paper itself is difficult for me to score. Blame me for not scoring well during my quizzes. Meh. I studied but there is always something wrong during the quizzes (1 and 3, to be exact). For quiz 1, I forgot the simple 1st Law and screwed up, and I was penalized because I did not write down the justifications. For quiz 3, I drew wrong graph because I saw the saturated pressure wrongly. Then when I redid everything, I did not have enough time to finish, hence the lower marks than what I deserve. Sad, huh?

Nevertheless, I will have to strive harder for next semester. Based on my current level, I am only eligible for 2nd Honours. No space for 1st Class (in fact, far from it). Never mind, I will strive harder.

But for now, let me enjoy the holidays besides doing my research, which is a good kick start for my FYP.

That was it, I guess.
