over the past one week, we have been getting back all our exam papers, pts and spas.. i am pretty satisfied with what i have, because god has given me much more than i can ever dream of. yes, i am still ultra far away from a 4.0 gpa, but, at least i inched my way towards it and achieved my target gpa for this year, 3.6, or should i say i have surpassed it.
while everyone was fretting about their gpas and complaining about how badly they have done for the paper even before getting them back, i was just sitting there calmly, reading my nicholas sparks novel (its quite nice!), wondering when the teachers can cut the crap and just give us back the papers. but whenever they pass the papers down, i'd be so hesitant to look at my score, cos i didn't know what to expect, and i didn't know how i would react.
on the whole, i did well for english paper 1, chinese paper 1, math and history. and i screwed english paper 2, chinese paper 2, physics and chem. the rest - social studies and geog- were just fine. well, i was feeling pretty disappointed over my physics results and i didn't even dare to calculate my overall score for physics, so afraid that i will fall short of my targeted gpa. i convinced myself that i shouldnt calculate it cause it'd only make me ultra duper sad. but eventually i succumbed to the temptation after 1 day cause the people sitting around me are excessively obssessed with the calculation of gpas.
oh yes, and not forgetting the bet between grace, jiayun and i. i promised to buy them ben and jerry's icecream if i get a gpa of 3.XX and above. but somehow, in this unfair bet, i will not win anything if i fall short of that 3.XX gpa. so its pretty unfair. but i will treat them anyway, since i promised them. :) they are pretty good buddies to sit with during circumstances like this, though sometimes it'd be rather awkward for me.
but in any case, i really want to thank god for my grades. no matter whether moderation is done or not, no matter whether i get a 3.XX gpa, it really doesn't matter. what matters most is that god was, and is and will be with me through any difficult circumstances in life. actually, in all circumstances, be it easy or tough, he will be there for me. :)
i am really happy to end the school term on such a high note. yes, i may be leaving the raffles family, yes, i may be leaving my friends and pals in rg but i really hope that the decision i am making is a wise one and i wouldnt regret making this decision, unlike the decision that i had made 4 years ago. well, at least the 4 years is over and we'll all be moving on to the next stage in life.
