I remember hearing someone once say that going into battle with low/high expectations is bad, but going into one without any expectations at all is horrid. Well, I entered the auditorium with no expectations, well, to pass essentially and I sort of couldn't be bothered to panic, because everyone else was panicking, and it just wasn't worth the trouble. But then again, when the papers were being given out my heart started beating at a much faster rate than should be normal. We got back SS, English and Add Maths papers today, in that order, so of course SS was as usual rather discouraging... Especially since Mrs Ng said that Hist elec (aka Modern world history) was worse than SS and needed to be reviewed... *shudder* Shall be avoiding her till we get our papers back.

Anyway, SS was an improvement from mid years (definitely!) considering I failed mid years by erm 1 mark? So from 24 I jumped to erm 31! Which is B4.. Not very good, so I'm kind of waiting to see how History does and hope for the best for my Literature and History essentially...

Then was English, and after rumours about our class getting all distinctions except one person, I wasn't that worried. Okay so I was, I wanted a 1 but I was expecting a 2. For the first time in my comprehension history, I got full marks for vocab!! And erm 19 for summary!! *hops around* So wondrous okay, especially since mid years I got about 13 or 15 for summary and maybe 2 or 3 for vocab. *beams* I'm improving... And with oral and stuff I got 78!(A1!) Which sort of means I have my L1 settled already, because I don't know what HCL is going to be like...

Then A math, Paper 1 was 63/80, so I was rather worried for Paper 2, since I felt Paper 2 was worse than Paper 1, but I got 67! Meaning a total percentage of 81.25! My tuition teacher was quite happy when she heard that, and I was erm shocked to say the least. Previous years I dreaded looking at Add Maths marks, because usually I wouldn't pass and stuff, but now I'm done with A math! Okay, not really, but I adore A math now. (Which explains why I'm doing A math papers out of the blue)

So I have about 3 points down, and L1R5 looks something like that... (for the moment anyway)

L1(language): English A1

R1(Mathematics): Add Maths A1

R2(Science): Chemistry/Biology A1/A2/B3/B4

R3(Humanities): A1/A2/B3/B4

R4: Hcl/Comb Humanities/E maths A1/A2/B3/B4

R5: Chinese A1

Best case scenario: L1R5=6
Worst case scenario: L1R5=15?!?!?!

After checking out JCs and all, with my worst case scenario and after taking into consideration the location and stuff, I'll be left with CJC, JJC and PJC. None of which are particularly attractive... =( And after talking to sab and the rest that night, I started doubting my own reasons for wanting to go to a certain JC, was it the people? The school culture? The co curricular activit(y)ies? Or maybe I'm just simply afraid of being thrown somewhere new, all by myself. But would it be entirely bad to restart my school life? With people I don't know? *confused* Nevermind, plenty of time after O levels to bother about stuff like this, especially since by then I'd have gotten back all my marks and it's probably going to dictate where I choose to go for the first three months. *off to do maths paper*
