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.

Marketing End-semester exam
Marketing today. I thought I'll die.
I just studied Marketing for less than 3 hours yesterday night.
I was feeling strangely light-hearted and not stressful before the paper. During reading time, I was thinking "Oh my God", I'm going for the Sub paper, which I never want to in my life. To touch that subject again would go against my every wish.
For don't know what reasons, I thought of the answers, well, the sub-headings anyway. I can't explain every well and my English is really bad. I felt ashamed for writing those sentences in the answering book.
I've been thinking. Is it because I'm wearing my four-leaf clover? I forgot to wear it today, I didn't want to go back home to get it. However, I went back and got it all the same. Makes me wonder if things would have been different if I didn't. I'll surely blame myself for the "bad luck".
I think I can pass. I must pass. I'll not, in any case, go for the Sub paper. But, I don't just want to pass, my GPA will drop drastically if I do.
We'll be getting our results in the middle of March, I guess. Oo, I'm so excited and anxious.
Exams are over, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, now what? The problem I've been thinking of is coming true. Gah, I'll deal with it should the time comes. As for now, I'm going to enjoy my holidays. Enjoying, in my sense.
I started on MacGowan's Ghost by Cindy Miles, her latest book. Quit a nice read so far.
Oh well, Freshmen Year has come to a complete stop. It's been a good year, with many emotions on the way. Thanks for all the fun and the memories. I'll treasure them. Hoping to have a couple of classmates in my Junior Class. A familiar person by the side is always better.

OB end-semester exam
Done with OB.
It was a killer. So now, OB stands for Obviously Bu******.
I can't say I never tried my best, neither can I say I tried my best. Obviously I can study it better or concentrate better, but at least I sort of did my best.
I forgot some things here and there. The MCQs were so difficult. I'm always left with 2 choices, both seemed right, it's just which one is more correct than the other. Argh...
I totally forgot what is the strategies to solve conflict and 3 situational factors that affect a leader's behaviour. The latter which I did not study at all.
Ah well, it's gone. I won't have to touch OB again. I was so angry that I have a mind to tear the paper. The best thing is, I won't have to see my answers. At least, there is some consolation to this mess.
Goodbye OB, we ended at a sour note. *There goes my chance of acquiring an A. I hope my B/B+ is still intact.*
Business Statistics tomorrow. It should be well. But I dare not think positive, or else it will be jinxed.
BA2 and Marketing, another killer. Oh joy...

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.

To update on the more mundane aspect of my life.
Received my marketing and MacroEcons marks. I got a 33/50 for Marketing and 96.5/100 for MacroEcons.
Marketing marks was expected. What can I expect when I just studied on the day itself? Moreover, Marketing is not my cup of tea.
MacroEcons came as a surprise. I really did not foresee that. I was still thinking I got this question and that question wronged. Wow, if I can keep this up for end-semester exam, it'll be great.
Chinese New Year is coming. But before that, there are many obstacles to pass. Projects to hand in, tests to be completed, etc.
Today and 9th and 10th is TP's open house. One year had past since I went for the open house in 2008.
Anyway, my friends and I were joking about pretending to be Secondary school students. We went to visit the other schools' diploma courses. We got mistaken for Secondary school students for a few times. There were so many people about.
Today is a great day. Taylor Lautner is staying on! Looking forward to seeing him protraying Jacob in New Moon. It will be just fine.
Christ Weitz, thank you for letting Lautner stay. You make the obvious choice. Thank you to Stephenie Meyer too. For thinking Lautner will be a perfect Jacob.
Cheers.

Outing with friends and mid-semester marks
Went out with 4s3 friends yesterday. Met at Yo Chu Kang MRT station and went to Sakura buffet first. But, since the buffet closes at 3pm, and some guys were still not there, we changed location.
Walked all the way to Ang Mo Kio, my feet were aching really badly. Went to Suki Sushi, however, there was no buffet available because it was a public holiday. Walked to Ang Mo Kio hub to try Ichiban Sushi, but also no buffet available.
Headed down to New York New York in the end. Wow, the food there is quite expensive. Shared a seafood platter with my other two girl friends. Didn't finished it though.
Chatted about our school lives and such. Went to Arcade, we didn't play though.
Although it was just us 3 girls, with the guys, it was still great. We hardly get to see each other after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Got back my mid-semester results today. Got 45/50 for Business Statistics, 34/45 for Business Accounting 2 and 22.5/30 for Organisation Behaviour.
Quite happy for my OB marks. So many things to memorise but still make it.
I should be content with my marks for Business Accounting 2 but I can't help feeling a little disappointed too. My aim is to get at least 70% for the paper. I got 68%. I've no idea why I reject BA from the moment I see it. It can't be the numbers, can it? Regardless, I don't have that high expectations for BA2.
Business Statistics marks cheered me up. Got to keep it there. It's my hope, together with MacroEcons.
Next week, we will be getting back Marketing and MacroEcons papers. I'm worry for the both of them, especially Marketing.
