sighhhh

well, i just got my assesment results...the mcq on the last day of term. anyway, i didn't do too great on it. my percentage was actually ok, but coz everyone else did quite well, my centile left much to be desired. crap. all the questions were repeated from previous years..and i did do the past year questions on this ucl thing we call lapt, but i kind of forgot some of the answers. and for those of you who didn't know, ucl has this confidence based marking thing. our mcq's are basically true/false, with a twist. we have to mark our confidence levels as well...1=unsure, 2=sure, 3=very sure. if you get the right answer, you get 1, 2, 3 marks. if you get it wrong, you get 0, -2, -6 marks. anyway, i had NINE wrong answers with 'very sure'. which means i basically lost 54 marks just like that. and that was exactly what pulled me down to the depths of total sh*t-dom.

and my mum is now lecturing me, saying i wasn't prepared for it, playing the fool too much, going out too much, blah blah blah. the annoying thing is, i actually did study for this assesment! i reviewed all my lectures-and fair enough, forgot stuff. i also did go out quite a bit the 2 weeks before my assesment- heck, it was my birthday the week before! i don't know how true this is, but jeff said some people actually only did lapt over and over again, till they could memorise all the answers. which makes the whole system slightly unfair, i think. ah, i don't know. what makes it worse is that i did reasonably well for my first assesment, which is why my mum is making an even bigger issue out of my centile score now. crap crap CRAP.

i forsee my next 6 months being filled with stress: formative assesment on 21st feb, looking for flatmates and a flat, more "you need to study more" lectures, another formative assesment in spr/may, finals in may...sigh. and my mum is now saying i shouldn't take part in malaysian night coz it will take up too much of my time, coz i will want everything to be perfect, blah blah blah. i have no idea what i'm going to do. probably study like mad for the next 6 months till after my finals (which is the only summative assesment in the entire year). and i refuse to not do well for that!...and that is me talking. =)
