Grades for Semester 2.1

This may be a little late but I figured there's no better time to write an entry like the present. 

My results have improved a little since last semester which makes me really happy. At least there's no Cs and what's more, I've a A-! 

I can hardly believe that for that accursed module, American Power, I actually received an A-. I must have either done very well for the final examination or the cohort standard has decreased. 

For my other 3 Geography modules, I received B+, B and B-, bringing my overall CAP to 3.58. It's a slight improvement from the previous 3.50. 

For semester 2.1, I sought to work harder, put in more effort in my studies by cutting down time spent on Tumblr and fanfiction. I'm glad it works out. 

Thus, as a New Year resolution, in this upcoming semester 2.2, I shall put in greater effort as well. I want to maintain my grades, at least achieving Bs for all modules. I want to start reading the readings and do revision early. Is it too much to ask for? 

Anyway, in the last remaining days of my holiday, I shall relax and enjoy as much as I can. Then, when the term starts, it's time to get serious. 

2013: the world still turns

Fantastic, Meretricious and a Happy New Year!

It feels great to finally have the chance to use that much loved phrase from Sherlock.

So, it's the first day of year 2013. What changes? Probably nothing much. The world is still turning, the rain still falls, the economy still remains sluggish and we're still hit by downturn. US is scrambling to meet its deadline to deal with its "fiscal cliff". In other parts of the world, conflicts still rage on.

If only everyone could better oneself, I'm sure the world will be a better place.
