The "List"

Hola!

In the mood for another boring academic update today! :P

Malaysian Studies presentation is officially over! I did an awfully dull, 5-minute speech entitled "Why War?" -- Jillian recorded it, haha, neat! The rest of my classmates had better performances up their sleeves - mostly singing (Jilly is incredibly talented!), but there was one dance & a computer-programme demonstration.

Economics Common Test 2 - over! I'm glad I could remember everything I studied (except one of the TPA's -- I left out exclusive dealing, eurgh)... but I can't be too sure if I gave what they wanted for the answer. Aih. Did my best la, will just learn from my mistakes! Lousiest part of exams is what happens right after -- you walk anywhere and you hear people discussing the answers... everything you just answered always sounds so wrong compared to other people's. Ish. Don't really like discussing answers after the exam! So scary!

Accounting Class Test 2 - reeked of rotten eggs! I thought I knew my ledgers, but I guess I was wrong! I have no idea how badly I've done - still waiting for the result.

And we've all received our Progress Reports (Report Cards)! To my delight, I got 3A's and 2B's -- no C's like I expected! The lecturers gave me really boring remarks -- I got two "A very able student with great potential"s, one "Keep up the good work", another "Satisfactory work" & for Math (my worst subject among the 5): "Has potential to achieve a better result". I think the remarks are multiple-choice sorta things, honestly! Haha!

Best part is when Man Yee saw my name on the TER 80+ list outside the SAM office, and then she told An Nie, and then An Nie called me to congratulate me -- and I was so blur, I was like "What list? What? Where?" -- then Man Yee told me it's this list where they rank you if you get TER 80 and above. So, this morning, I went to see the list for myself -- and I'm so ecstatic right now!

I know I didn't get TER 98 or anything like that (like the Ranking 1 guy, can't remember his name) -- but I'm still really happy that I'm doing better than I ever did for Form 4 & Form 5! I got a TER of 83, and am ranked 102. Hahaha it looks like such a ridiculously large number doesn't it? But the ranking hardly counts when dozens of others get TER 83 too -- and then it's sorted alphabetically, so 'P' goes way below. :P

There were hundreds of names on that list! But I had so much time, I even saw who else from my old school (SMKDJ) were there too -- and I came up with only 5 -- Shern Ren (rank 7, TER 95 - OMG! Haha congrats, mi amor!), Chu Jie & Lee Ting (both TER 86 -- that's brilliant!), Jian Hung (TER 84, hehe blardy smart guy lah he!) & me! Totally unexpected fifth addition to DJ's gloryyy... :D Hahah, no lah, I'm not saying DJ is better than other schools or anything -- it's obvious that a LOT of other schools had great students -- since only five out of HUNDREDS of names belonged to ex-DJians.

Currently addicted to Aqua's "Cartoon Heroes" song, hehe!
