Now that I have all my mid term marks, I'm a bit more relaxed and confident. I'm actually doing quite well and really shouldn't be getting stressed out about my school work. My lowest course mark, after mid terms, is 80.25% and my highest mark is 95.60%. There's only about 4 weeks left in this semester and I'm in pretty good shape. I have tests in every course starting next week. A few weeks after that and I'm writing my final exams.
I always did find my courses fairly interesting, now they're getting really interesting. I wish I could focus on all of the new stuff that I'm learning now, instead of preparing for my tests and the impending final exams :-(
It looks like quite a few students won't make it through to the next semester. Some of them never had a chance. Some of them still don't understand what they signed up for and have this odd notion that faculty should make things easier, so that "it's more fair". Some of them are outright slackers and should be kicked to the curb. Some of them just had a bad semester and that's too bad.

I know what you mean. I think I'm way too hard on myself and I stress out way more than I should. I'm going to work on that.
ReplyDeleteWe have slackers in our class too, and the ironic thing is, they think we get good points because we r lucky.
ReplyDeleteIn our class, it' because "It's not fair".
ReplyDeleteYeah. I sure am lucky. That's what you get when you study for 5-6 hours a day: Lucky.
