I just escaped confinement.
Wait, that sounded wrong. Imprisonment. Yeah, that's the word. Finished 3 tests last week and one this week. One more tomorrow...yep management again. Another freaking 5 percent quiz. I mean, what's that about? If they're gonna torture us with so many quizzes at least make the percentages higher so that we dun feel cheated of marks from our slavery. Sigh. Never mind. I'm almost done reading, just the last set of notes left, so I can probably go with Ru to celebrate Ranj's b'day tonight.
Except for history, all the other tests were, in my opinions very icky. I think I crashed n burned in CSC & Bio. Tho I'm too chicken to go ask my lecturers for the marks. Dun really wanna face the awful reality. N stats was terriby awful too. The mother of all awfulness. I eat my words about stats being smashingly well this sem, it's right down there with CSC. But i'm so done with it all.
Back to history. I scored the highest in class, with a miserable 87 %. Dr. Leong is such a scrooge for marks. He actually circled my tenses in the essays!! I don't mean to sound like a wanker, but with all due respect, my English IS very advanced and I know half the tenses he circled (and polluted my paper in the process) are right, and that he's wrong. But I still got cut for that! What is that??? That was not a freaking English test, and he is no Dr. Gitu. The gall! And I actually had to correct him about a fact in my essay. He didn't believe me, but it was written in plain bold letters for all and sundry to read (well, for those who actually read it anyway).
And he's supposed to be a DR. in history. Oh please. The degradation of a noble subject. But I'm willing to forgive him at the end of the year, when I look at my transcripts and find an A on it for this subject. Or else.
Anyways, I've decided to apply to another 2 more unis (just for kicks). UPenn and MichState. I've always wanted to apply to Penn, and since the deadlines are still open, I'll give it a try. Mich state offers a scholarship, so why not? That sums up my demented reasons. But hey, there ain't no shame in it.
And lastly, to conclude this little monolog...SAT RESULTS ARE OUT TODAY!! Well, technically I won't be able to check what I got till later this evening, since the Eastern time in the US is 12 hours later than here. Damn. How did the Western countries of which are 12 hours behind manage to get more advanced than the Eastern ones? Life is mind-boggling sometimes. I'll post my results as soon as it is out, but I don't expect I'll be popping champagne anytime soon.
Going off now.
