BOOYA!
its my first time posting via my lappie. KEKE!
FINALLY, its over. :DD my End Semester Tests are finally over. Recap, i had 3 papers. the first paper was Principle of Management (POM) on Friday (24Aug) which was in the morning at Temasek Convention Centre (TCC), then we had the weekend to prepare and rest. Yesterday (27Aug), i had my Microeconomics paper. and tbh, im having mixed feelings abt Microecons paper. on one hand i'm pretty happy cause the test is FINALLY over. On another hand, I'm kinda troubled cause although I did manage to complete the paper, I did have some difficulties while doing the paper... Like for some questions I had certain doubts in my answers. And on another hand, I'm super sad, cause this will mean that there will no longer be anymore Microeconomic lecture or tutorial! That means the most awesome lecturer and tutor (I swear, that is the total truth!) will no longer be teaching me! ):
Super sad that next semester, mr Vincent Lim won't be teaching Macroeconomics...):
okay, to be honest, typing on a keyboard is kind of hard as there is no autocorrect and long period staying away from the keyboard has rendered my fingers no longer as agile as before... /: AND ALSO, I'm unable to type neither Japanese, Chinese nor Korean *le sigh.
But, I really do feel that if I don't blog now, when I crawl on my bed, I will most likely be so lazy that I won't even bother to blog. So I rather keep my blog alive and endure my awkward typing...):
anyway, back to topic. Today was my core paper. Meaning it was the test for my core subject. Each course will have different core subject and in order to be promoted, one must first pass that core subject. If you fail, well... I'm not to sure about this... I did not listen to this part... /: but it definitely ain't nice if you fail any subjects (especially your core subject) on your first year first term. For Accounting and Finance, as you probably might have already guess, my core subject is Financial Accounting #1. And although I've said that I had little confidence for my other 2 papers. But for this paper, I have really really the minimal confidence I had for any of the papers in my life (NOTE: this is the feeling I felt immediately after the paper ended). I came out feeling super low. Like out of 3 open ended questions, I could only understand and properly do the last question. And to me that was really, super fail. I was so devastated that the word 'accounting' just brought tears to my eyes. I really thought that I should have expected this. Cause compared to my other 2 subjects, I spent the less revision time on Accounting compared to Micro and POM. But I had reasons. Firstly, FA is a practical paper, there was seriously little point in practicing the night before, cause it won't work. Secondly, FA is one of my stronger modules whereas POM I had trouble in remembering the concepts what more understanding. In addition, Micro had the worst grade for my Mid Semester Test (MST). So I felt that I should concentrate more on the other 2...
Maybe I had made a wrong choice with studying so little for FA... but after thinking it over, and have people talking to me, I realized that no matter what, I tried my best doing the questions, I rationalized each answer I was about to fill in and thought carefully about it. For questions that I could not understand, I tried my very best to conjugate a smart guess on the meaning and tried to derive a solution. And most importantly, I left no blanks.
Now, I kind of don't regret that I spent more time on my other 2 subjects. Cause if I had spread my time out evenly among my 3 subjects, I would not have been that prepared for my weaker 2 subjects and might risk skipping out points that might come out in the exam. So, I don't think that I did wrong by placing more priority on my weaker 2 subjects - which happened to be very theory based.
However, I will admit that I could have worked for better time management for revision. Well, everything is a learning lesson. So now, I learnt (the hard way) that I must have proper time management.(:
Around dinner, my brother was telling me that not to worry as it isn't that easy to fail in Polytechnic...Well, I'm not sure how true/accurate that is... But hopefully it's true... /: I already secured an A for coursework, but coursework is 40% so people (including my brother) were reasoning with me that because I made sure I did all the questions, it is impossible for me to get a big fat duck egg. Cause there might be method mark, error-carried forward marks, and (maybe; one can always hope!) leniency mark. And as the last question which I know how to do is where the percentage of the mark laid (Thank God!), so there is still a chance that I can pass with an okay grade. And because I have an 'A' for coursework, so it will average out to be a little better. Which after thinking calmly, I realized that what they have said were pretty true.
Even if it wasn't, what can I do? It is already done. Its not like thinking about it will change what has already happened. The things that happened are already jotted down and is irreversible. Now all I can do is pray and learn from this mistake.
Well, that's all from my depressed post! [ Part#2 - THE afterparty ] will be up shortly(:
JYAN!
CHLOÉ
