O lvl Chinese results: aftermath

Great, I should never had been confident in the 1st place. Does it help? Absolutely not!
I fell into that 10% category...where I'm confident yet still don't do well... Of course, B3 was not really that bad, but when you expected something more, it really stung. It was a sharp blow to my tiny piece of confidence...
So what you are positive or optimistic? Blah, blah, blah...
Most people in my class got a B3, but lets not talk about that. I don't even want to let my parents know how my class did. They are not sympathetic at all...Then again, I'd rather them not say anything than to make a fuss of it. I can't stand people pouring oil to the fire...They don't know what I feel, so don't try to make things "better".
My teacher reckon I should try again, go for the retake. I'm going against my beliefs now, I always thought that whatever I score, I will never retake. But since things had taken for the worst, I'll consider doing it. She said I don't have to go for lessons, just go in and take the prelims and O levels when the time comes. I think this is a pretty good idea, afterall, I have nothing to lose. Even if I did badly for the retake, my certificate will show my B3. However, I'm reluctant to do compo and compre again. After weeks of not touching Chinese, I think I'm rusty in my usage...
Anyway, things are not so bad...I'm just a little tad disappointed and sore about my grade. But hey, I had a distinction for my oral and listening compre. That's why my teacher call me to retake, I've a good chance of scoring an A.
