Grades for Sem 1.2

3 cheers to me!

Received my Semester 1.2 results today. Holy crow!

Shockingly, I got B+ for Marketing. Woah, what was that? I was still praying, "Not C".

B for OB and Accounting 2. What can I say? I deserved that grade, no more, no less. My accounting skills are atrocious, not to mention, I've been so careless. As for OB, there's nothing much to say.

A for Business Statistics and MacroEconomics. I'm happy and if I get anything less, I might just go and bang my head on the wall. Both are my "pet" subjects and I expect myself to do well in them.

Z for French! Now, that's something to cheer about! I'm really, really pleased with it. I know I'm going to get A, but a distinction, never. I dreamt about it but didn't have much confidence that I will get it.

My GPA for Semester 1.2 is 3.56. Oh well, a little far off from 3.7 in Semester 1.1. Overall, I'm happy and nearly screamed when I saw the grades. That's how glad I am.

PS: Taking French was the best thing that happened to me. I love the language and in return, give me a good grade.

OK, I had a good time in school but I'm in a sort of bad mood now.

I've no idea why though.

Whatever, it's so near to sleeping time so I'll just sleep the bad mood away. Tomorrow will be another day.

Got back my MacroEcons and OB coursework grades today. I'm very happy for MacroEcons because I got an A. Woohoo! That was also the project I spent the most effort in. So, the efforts paid off and it was sweeter than others. My friends who are in my group, too, got A for their coursework. 40% an A, 60% to go.

OB was great, too. Our project was 87/100. Not too bad. I got an A for coursework. Yay! Now, I really must work hard for OB end semester exam. I can have a chance to get an A. 50% more to go. OME!

For Marketing coursework, I had an B. 50% to go for end-semester. I don't have high expectations for Marketing but needless to say, the lowest I can get is a B.

Hoping to get back French result tomorrow. High expectations for it.

Watched Les Choristes in the library with my friend today. Wow, I never thought that the school library is actually so up-to-date. I'll surely make use of the facilities next time.

Anyway, I borrowed the tape, have to return it on Friday though. The bad thing about borrowing tapes from school library is the lack of borrowing time. 3 days for DVDs, a little too short to my liking. But, it'll be efficient.

My friend borrowed the soundtrack. Hoping to be able to burn it.

Watched the second part of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Actually, I can't really see why it can get so many awards. But, I enjoyed it all the same.

Let's see,

I bought Brisingr by Christopher Paolini yesterday. I'm only going to read it when my exams are over. It's 20% off and I got it hard-covered. How good is it? I'm already losing my devotion to action/fantasy books so that's why I can buy it at this time. It's romance for me.

Anyway, buying of the book is to finish the collection of the trilogy and the series. I hate to leave things half-way.

If only Eragon is hard-covered too...

My latest favourite movie is Les Choristes. It means The Choir in English. Although I only watched the later half of the movie in school, I still love it.

It was by chance that I managed to watch it. I was released from class early, and had nothing to do till the next lecture. My friend wanted to get her movie ticket stamped so we went for the movie.

I'm going to borrow it or buy it. Borrowing makes everything easier, I hope it can be found in the library.

I know my school's library has it, but I don't feel like borrowing from there.

My favourite songs includes La nuit, Vois Sur Ton Chemin, Caresse sur l'océan.

The French movie is highly recommended because it is unlike other movies. There is always something different about French movies, be it the way they filmed it or the way the story is presented.

I'm watching The Diving Bell and the Butterfly as part of the French CDS. It was a great movie, I remembered seeing the title on the newspaper. A pity I never went to watch it.

It's rated favourably by critics which is a really big step for any movie, and it had won acclaimed awards in 2007.

Taking French CDS is probably one of the rare times I didn't make a wrong choice. Maybe it's CDS, so it's not that stressful. Maybe it's because I always wanted to study a foreign language, so the appeal is already there.

Regardless of what, my aim is to get an A and have fun at the same time.
I'm going to know the results next week, I think.

I'll start to study for exams next week, which is tomorrow. Really, I swear. Even if it's only a couple of chapters of a subject. I'll also not leave marketing revision till the last minute. I'm going to at least get an B for it.

Marketing, what a killer.
