Stare into the Abyss..

I was studying for my Econs re-exam when I chanced upon a memo from school that read "The highest grade a remodule student can get is a D". My first reaction was "what the hell?!" Can you imagine how it feels when you have been preparing to aim for at least a B and then you are told no matter how well you do, your certificate is still gonna read "Basic Economics - D"?

I didn't make it the first time I took the paper and failed the subsequent sub paper. Thinking that remoduling will give me more time to grasp the stupid subject and allow me to get at least a C or B rather than a D, I didn't put in much effort for the sub paper.

How would I have thought that after faithfully attending 10 night classes, doing well for the Econs test (surprisingly), fate will play such a bad joke on me. I honestly thought that my chance of getting an A for the paper didn't seem too impossible when I passed the test with super flying colours. The result shocked me because I expected to not make it, and in the end, I was one of the 3 who scored the highest. You see, the class test results & class participation (10 marks) constitutes 30% to the final result, so with a score of 80, getting a B shouldn't be too difficult.

Alas, it was not to be. Think I'm gonna send an email to Anna Oh (my student service executive) and tell her how disappointed I am. Sigh. I lost all the motivation to study after that, and left the exam hall with 1 hour left on the clock. I mean, even if I do very well, I'll still get a D. So why bother to write so much and put in so much effort? Just make sure I get at least a pass and that'll suffice.
