或者起初就不应该抱着太大的期望。并不是不切实际，但为何没有如愿呢？
10 reasons to be happy
1) Improvement in GPA (3.28->3.52 -> 3.75)
2) Improvement in cGPA (3.42 ->3.53)
3) My very first A- for my sociology core module (HS201)
4) No C and finally just one B-
5) I met my inital target of improving 0.2 for each semester (this target was made after Y1 S1)
6) I'm finally a "second-lower" class
10 reasons to be sad
1) Expectation not met
2) cGPA below 3.6
3) Risk of failure of application for INSTEP
I couldn't find 10 reasons each for being sad and happy. Ironically, though I've more reasons to be happy, one stupid reason of EXPECTATION NOT MET is bad enough. I would say expectation is the point here. I was freaking happy one year back when I got 3.28 cos that was my expectation. That goes the same for Y1S2. To be frank, I was aiming for GPA of 4. Say I'm greedy, which I think I'm not cos it's fairly reasonable to score better for electives. I took 4 electives and expecting some As, but chey none of them is A. I am truly disappointed.
so yay, my grades as follow:
HS201-> A-
HS205-> B-
EE8084 (Cyber Security) ->B
EE8086 (Astronomy) -> B
EN121->B+
CS100 -> B+
HS201 was a bonus, I was expecting a B+ though my mid-term was A-, but apparently most people find the final paper okay. So Marx, Weber and Durkheim weren't that bad huh? LOL. HS205 was okay since it's within my expectation, I couldn't ask for more cos I know my lousy standard there. Though it's the worse grade, I'm pretty happy with it. Cyber, well, i think I can say I'm satisfied with it considering the fact that our project isn't really well done and i just screwed the final paper for Flora's part. So yay, I'm fine with HS201, 205 and EE8084.
It the latter 3 that made me feel so WTE. I was expecting or hoping for a B+ for astro and A- for CS100 and EN121. I know my hatred towards astro in the initial phase but my interest did grow! But ya, probably it's my fault for not completing the astro bank qns and the past year papers. Only if I've done so then I'll have the rights to complaint bah.
As for EN121 and CS100, my initial target is A, but lowered to A- cos I know I sucks at presentation (en121) and probably many will score well for both. The second presentation for en121 was okay, and the final exam for cs100 was pretty fine too. So lesson learnt, so my presentation sucks more than I expected. Not to compare with my teammates who score A or A+, they are good at presentation! And yes, they participate in class and answer the Q&A session! Okay, so that explains for my not-expected B+ which then sounds much more reasonable. CS100, I read the whole freaking TB. I've done the freaking past year paper. So why ain't I'm getting A-?!?! To comfort myself I got to say cos I was doing last minute revision and I finished the whole freaking TB in a rush just a few days before the exam. Yes bin, blame yourself for not being a good student.
不信我不行，终有一天我会get that freaking 3.75 for my cGPA.
On a side note, I went out with university friends on 18th! Had lunch at Aston at The Cathay which is rather affordable! (: And we had movie too! :D
Okay that's all. Sorry for the ranting. I need a space to rant out. Since there's no one really available for me to rant at.
bye.
LOVES,
BEAN.
