It's results day.
It went alright. The highlight being me finally achieving something more than a C grade for a psychology module. Yes, as meagre a B- might seem as compared to a C grade, I do take heart that the grades for psychology modules have steadily risen from a C- to a C to a B-. Heartening, though slightly more satisfying as this was the exam date that I mixed up. Still remember how horrible I was feeling one day before the paper, and the awful stomach ache that I had to endure the night and morning before it.
I didn't end my math journey on a high. I would have really loved an A-, but I ended up one grade lower. To be honest, I've left this Statistics course learning close to nothing. Everything that I excelled in, I learnt in JC, and everything that was new, I learnt by googling on how to solve them on a GC. It was clearly my fault as I refused to use the tables to solve the statistical problems, I'm pretty sure my understanding of the concepts would have increased by leaps and bounds had I done so. But at the end of the day, I don't see why I shouldn't be making the most out of a GC which would be lying on my exam table. My prof always said we should make the most out of what technology has given us, and he always used the excel PhStat program in class. So, despite me conceding that I could have done things differently to achieve what could have been a better result, I still feel that I did follow his instructions and make the most out of the technological wonder, the GC.
My business mods proved to be GPA savers again. Though as with HCM, the mod which presented sky-high component grades once again fell to a B+. Lightning did strike twice. Sigh. Disappointing, but considering that I spotted questions that were totally wrong, I might just be okay with settling for this B+ unlike HCM where the B+ was, and still is considered a blasphemy. Training and Development was a hard earned A-, and despite it telling me that I don't really want to become a Consultant trainer anymore, I felt it was an eye opening module with an amazing lecturer. I'll miss Chow Wai Fong's lectures, despite them being on a Friday morning.
FT. It was alright, I really wanted an A+, but I guess competition was way too intense.
Last night was slightly sleepless. The main worry was me applying to exchange universities that needed a minimum GPA of 3. Any screw up in my semester 2 mods would totally ruin my exchange plans, and considering that I felt this was not a good sem as compared to the previous one, the jitters were there for all to see. But thankfully, my exchange plans are still on track, and my fingers are still crossed that I get my first choice.
One day, I'll look back at my days in SMU, and I'm sure I'll remember the exams/results jitters. By then, I guess the grades wouldn't really matter as much, but the experiences that I went through, the people who stood by me, encouraging me and by just being there for me, these are the things that I'll take away. And for those who did, if you're reading this, thankYOU very much. (:
Hallelujah.
