Just one more to go! Eh, wait, make that two.

Dear all,

Today, I obtained my results for English Language and Integrated Humanities Elective (Geography). Or I was supposed to, anyway. Geography turned out to be a disappointment, as Ms Cheong (geo teacher) turned up during the beginning of English paper checking, and told us that paper checking for geog was cancelled. Pooh. And it was rescheduled to tomorrow, some as-of-yet-unknown time. Ah, Ms Cheong, as carefree as always (she often spent entire periods telling us about her life and past experiences, which I admit was refreshing and very entertaining, but somewhat risky *coughcough*).

As for English, my results were less than expected. I'd expected to get at least 65%, probably around 70~72%. Instead, I got 64%. Ugh. Worse still, that meant I was one point away from a B3, which would save me from the embarrassment of being relegated to the lower echelons. As it turned out, the papers were mostly not well done by the majority of the cohort, and the highest in the class was an A2.

As I was busy scouring my papers for that precious life-saving one mark, I uncovered a marking mistake! As luck would have it, the marker for my summary was idiotic enough to give me 10 ticks in content and then only give me 9 content marks! The nerve of her (most english teachers are female)! Well, either that, or she can't count. I'd wager the former, since she is a qualified teacher and all, but don't hold me to that. Wait. Being idiotic and not being able to count are more or less the same thing.

Oh well.

Then I double checked the summary and it turns out I'd wrote over the 160 word limit. Perhaps she deducted a mark for that? Unlikely, since I ought to lose marks in language use then, not content. But when I asked my English teacher about the missing mark (cleverly avoiding any mention of going over the word limit), she checked through it a few times (seemingly missing the fact that I went over the word limit) and gave me the extra mark in the end. Whether I was supposed to get that extra mark or not, nobody will ever know.

All I care is that I got a B3. Ha!

Oh, and thank god my english teacher was in a rush, otherwise she just might have spotted that. Heehee.

Tomorrow I will get the results for my final and worst subject, Chinese. Fingers crossed that I can score at least a B4 (60%). Oh, wait, there's Geography too.

Here's a nice music video to amuse you. By the way, I haven't actually watched it yet.

Yours Sincerely,

Jeremy
