yeah!!!

wow... i wanna give thanks to god.. tues i had a test 2103 (cell biology). its a very intensive module with lots of memorising and understanding. i m ok with the understanding part but found the memorsing part tedious. in fact super tedious. i m like cramming everything into my tiny brain. Cause i was too tired, due to lack of slp, i misread the instruction as do all qns in section b. actually the instruction was do 1 qns from section b!!! so stupid right. so spent alot of time and almost couldn't finish the paper. when i walked out of the exam hall shu yi told me tt it was do 1 qns from section b only. i went crazy and i was like this is so stupid. wats more i read the instruction!!!

den i became worried tt the marker ll mix up my qns 2 from section b and qns 2 from section c. den in the end never mark my section c. so shu yi told me to email him and explain the situation to him. e prof understood and said they will mark everything. But another shocking news was tt they will take the ave of the 2 qns i ve done in section b!!! oh no.. cannot lai... cause i did very badly for my qns 2 in section b. think out of 15 marks i can only get a max of 3 marks for qns 2. but for qns 1 in section b i can get around 10 marks. so if ave i ll get only 6 marks out of 15. so i emailed him again n asked him abt this. den he said he dun really understand me and asked me to call him. i just called him. b4 calling him, i was prayin to god..

God.. pls help me find a way out. 1st time talkin to prof on the phone too. not sure how he ll react or if he's nice and ll understand my situation... praise God. He said he ll take the higher of the 2 scores. He was explaining to me why they had to take the ave cause some students may cheat do 2 so as to try their luck in getting a higher score. But he said he trusted me cause he could tell tt it wasn't deliberate but a mistake made on my part. so he gave me the benefit of a doubt and it was settled. he's really a wonderful prof :) we talked a bit and he was asking me abt the paper and how i find the module so far. Is the understanding ok and do i ve any doubts abt anything. How was the time management ... He's really a very devoted prof and he said if any of us ve any doubts can always go find them to clarify. wow... used to think tt profs here are very stern n ll afraid to ask them qns directly. hee.... i m feeling excited abt this module. though its tough n super tedious (bu shi ren du de lai) but i m studying with God :) tt makes this possible... yeah.... so happy... lai lai lai... (crazy already lai) must be too stress over my essay due tmr. ve not started yet but ve done my readings. Now ve to sit still and churn out the essay!!! jai you jia you
