I'm pretty sure I know who you are too, in a totally non-creepy way haha.

Of course! He is the SUPER ENGINEERING MAN

How the hell do you guys get 90+ easy as pie? I was under the impression that getting >80 was super difficult, especially at Year 2 and 3!

Congrats! From what I've heard, ECOM classes are absolute GPA destroyers so you got a great mark!

66 for Chem (wow, was expecting a 90 before the exam and still mid 70s after the exam, but then again I did miss a section worth ~15% of the subject cos it was 1/6th of the 80% exam so this could have been much more respectable)

and 77 for Russian 3 which landed me a study trip over there from September to April! So that's the saving grace I guess - this semester still went well all things considered!

I really am beginning to question 80% exams, that was so bullshit. I could have gotten much higher and at least semi respectable if I didn't make a mistake worth 30 minutes of exam time. Sure, it's a big cop out, and you should lose a lot of marks for a one time mistake like that, but it shouldn't be the difference between a H1 and a H3. Somewhat annoyed at myself for being an idiot and forgetting to do a section, and also annoyed at the fact that 80% exams can do this to you in a subject.

I'm just really annoyed over the fact that:

1. I waited to freakin long to actually start studying for it (I guess having 3 exams late in the exam period really isn't a great timetable at all)
2. Performed well in the tests over the semester which doesn't seem to mean much at all
3. Understood the content during the semester (except for god damn inorganic) but did go and ask for help to the tutors if I needed to, and was up to date with the tutes
4. I got a goddamn 69, 1 more mark man!

Ugh, looking forward to my physics result now. For which I felt I went even worse in than chem.

Sigh.

Simpak you have got to be kidding me.

Edit: 2000th post! Sorry it had to be this one! To make it better I will add smily faces

[simpak]

Simpak you have got to be kidding me.

I'm annoyed because I seriously don't think I lost enough marks to reduce to a 97 (I got 100 on the midsem and obviously 100 on all of those silly CALs) so everyone ignore me while I go sit in the corner and mope and I repeat again for the thousandth time my disclaimer: I do not apply my own ridiculous standards to any of you.

People are allowed to be upset/disappointed if they don't reach their personal goals. It doesn't mean they're unhappy with the marks.
