I officially feel like shit and presumably will feel this way for the rest of the week. Physically I mean. Think I might have caught something from all the viruses lying dormant in the house, and the fact that I fell asleep on the sofa (which my dad practically lived in when he was having bronchitis). Not to mention my menstruation is being a total bitch to me. Yeah, I just wanna whine about my oh-so-crappy day, that's all.
So anyway, I got back my AS (Advanced Subsidiary) results on Friday and guess what? Haha. You would never guess it. I actually got straight As for my subjects. Okay, so I'm only taking two subjects (Literature in English and Law) but nonetheless, it's an awesome feeling. I can just feel the disbelief that you guys have for me, not that I'm surprised. I couldn't believe it myself either, I mean, I don't even do that much studying except for the one month of cramming before the exam started. But let me just state that it was good cramming since I sacrificed a lot of things, like going online at night for a few hours (I can't study in the afternoon, I'm too sleepy) and actually sat in my room to read my notes *gasps*. And my dad was so mean about it when I told him.
Me: Guess what? I got straight As in my A Levels.
Dad: Oh? Congratulations.
Me: Thank you, hehe.
Dad: How many subjects do you take?
Me: Two
Dad laughs
Me undaunted
Dad: Good thing you took the subjects you wanted, eh?
Me: Yeap
You see? How could he laugh at me!!! Well, I asked Jerusha if she expected me to get these grades and she was like 'Um...' with those huge long pause and I was just 'You didn't think I would, did you?' Damn, these people are just too horrible. Even my law lecturer was saying that it's a miracle I actually got an A in Law. Not that I'm really affected by what they think, since I didn't really have the confidence to get that kind of grade, but you know...
I can't believe there are so many people re-taking the paper, even though they got a C for it. But since re-taking's a lot cheaper than re-marking it (RM 500 just to ask Cambridge to remark it!) I guess that's their only option. I don't even understand why they want to charge such an expensive rate. Okay, so maybe they don't want their standards to drop, and if everyone who gets bad results ask for a recheck, it's gonna be a bitch for them, but still!
