Break? Not really.

School just reopened on Monday for the second half of this semester. While most of my friends went on trips during the 2 weeks break, I was stuck in my hostel room most of the time, flipping through books, reading notes and clicking on my mouse.

I'm the only unlucky one, among all the people I know in ANU, to have exams right before and after the semester break. I'm also one of the very few who has mid-terms for all of my modules. To make the situation worse, all of papers have very high weightage. *gasps*

Some time during my mid semester break, the results for the first two papers which I sat for were released and I felt totally crushed when they fell way below my expectations. I was (and still am) very puzzled as to why I underachieve. I worked hard for the paper, felt prepared for the exams and sat for the paper knowing how to do most of the questions. However, my results correlated negatively. I'm still puzzled as to how and why I did so badly. The sad thing is at college level, exam papers are rarely returned. Hence, I wouldn't know what went wrong and what I did badly on. This will really have a negative impact on the preparation of my end of year examinations because I don't even know how I got off track. Not to mention how demoralising the whole thing was. Oh well.

In the midst of mugging, I managed to make a quick trip up to Sydney for a night. Even though the trip was a little rushed, it was a good break away from the accumulating stress. I'll blog about the trip separately in my subsequent post.

I just completed my last two papers for mid-sems a few days ago and they felt pretty alright. I hope my grades will turn out pretty alright too. I'm pinning my hopes on them. *prays hard* I wouldn't wanna get a shock of my life again.

I've got loads of stuff I will like to blog but due to the lack of time I'm unable to do so. I'm in the midst of rushing an assignment. I promise that I will blog more regularly after submitting this paper.

To the very few people who read my blog, please root for me, wherever on earth you are and have a wonderful weekend ahead.
