Received my results today and to be honest, I am having mixed feelings about them. I was expecting a much better result and most of my grades are so close to the ones just above them. Unfortunately, I am constantly judged by my academic performance and these grades are simply going to rub off badly on me, ignoring the amount of effort I invested. It's more heartbreaking when the ones who care about you judges you the most and are terribly disappointed. Then only it's because they tell you what reality is.
On the bright side, I completed this goal which has been marked as my first personal challenge here and it's great having something completed. Having grades that are at least 2 levels higher than a Pass. Getting a hi-B for this subject I thought I'd never pass. I've met some nice people and got access to better clubs/activities. Stepping out of my comfort zone and surviving it and of course, making it to uni! For taking me there, I marked it as Worth It.
It's not a good decision I've made but I'll get over this with time but I am just glad the hurdles are over and I definitely never want to have to go through this again.
I just finished my last paper today! It feels great.
Now, I only have to wait for the results that will be due sometime in august before I can mark this goal done.
It's the journey, not the destination.
I am currently challenging myself to:
Pass my A-Levels
I will complete this by August 31, 2008 or else
I will have to find another way to get into university.
My first two papers are in 7 hours!
Received some of my trials results. I only did okay. In general there is improvement and I know there will be more to come. Some were better than what I've expected and others were a disappoinment. I am definitely thankful for the straight-forward comments I received. A great wake up call. There was relief after I faced the music.
I've been spacing out recently and it's not a good sign. I need to and I will, get back into the zone before it makes a habit out of me.
Sat for today’s paper and although I was not even fifty percent prepared but I’m satisfied. I could have brought up a better arguement for my last essay if only I could remember the facts. At least I’m not stationary
I missed the unit 5 lit mocks paper yesterday because I wasn’t feeling too well. Today I’m missing the law mocks and I have no valid reason for this. I suppose the stress is getting to me. I really could not do any input at all. This scares me. Maybe the lecturer will allow me to take it some time next week. I don’t know. I guess she’s right, I need to breathe and put the effort into doing well for the final paper because it’s more important. I need to stop self-doubt from consuming me.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost (1915)
When all of my friends from school picked the easy way out, I chose this. I only need two passes to go over to the uni because I’m in a unicol. That is why I picked the arts/social sciences instead of the standard sciences that I did back in school. But I find these subjects extremely difficult because I had no background in them, except for math but I’m not really good with math either.
I did badly for my first semester. Resat most of the papers from the first semester together with the second semester papers and I did redeemed myself somewhat but most of the grades are still not enough for me to get close to an A. My finals are in two weeks and I’m taking more papers than ever.
I have chosen not to look back because I have learnt so much along the way.
I really need the motivation to go on.
There is so many things to do, so little time.
