SO. Promos are in about 18 days, and I'm kinda in the danger zone for retaining.See it's like this. For math, I might as well have not taken the fucking thing. 3.5/100 when converted to 20% is 0.7. Zero-point-seven.
That translates to almost nothing, over a hundred.
Apparently, I need a sub-pass for GP, three other subjects, and one H2 pass. Goddamn, that means you can only fail ONE subject. That's most probably math. See the difference here is other people go "I think I fail maths liao." For me, I KNOW I'll fail math. All the difference in the world, at the difference of only one word.
Organic chem is being an idiot and refuses to make sense to me; probably because I missed a few lectures, namely alkanes and alkenes, where they introduce the more important mechanisms. Fuck that. Well I'm climbing but slowly. Least today's lecture was easy to digest.
Econs isn't too heartening, I have a test tomorrow, and Market Failure is just fucked up. Doesn't speak to me like the other chapters. On the brighter side, I managed to pass both tests without studying (albeit one of them was open book.) but I could have done so much better if I had just spent 5 minutes reading some crap.
GP.. well. I got my essay back today, nothing fantastic I must admit. I was writing some stuff that I myself was in doubt about, so yeah, arguments were pretty weak. 34/50 isn't half bad, but I'd halve those marks to get a more accurate gauge of what I'll score in the exams. Yes, my teacher is lenient. Too caught up in writing something that's palatable to the layman to write an academic piece of writing.
History is fucked. I'm going to need tons of consultations to work out how the fuck I'm supposed to pen my essays. Of course, and to actually study the damn subject. This is my danger subject. It'll determine if I promote or retain. (Wtf.) If Math is a goner, this is my only other U. Kind of a toss up, really. If I work out all the kinks in writing a history essay, I'm very confident of at least a C.
Fuck that, and SA only needs 35 rank points to promote. That's fucking BS. You heard me. 2 Bs and you promote. Jesus.
