Friday was simply an amazing day. I must admit I never expected my results to be so perfect. There was this slight hope in me that I might get straight As but not to the extent that even my GP did so well. This time, the feeling in the hall was completely different from back then in sec school. Even the night before taking my results was different. I remember 3 years back, I had many sleepless nights fretting over my results. But on thursday night, I slept very soundly, only to be awoken occasionally by mosquitoes. I wasn't confident but at least I knew I wouldn't do badly. Perhaps this is the main difference. It also explains my calmness in the hall on Friday. Once they started flashing the names of the 3As students, my heart thumped. Well, whose wouldn't? I could feel the vibration even though I was sitting still. Once I saw my name, everything blacked out. Really. A natural smile crept onto my face and I held my face in disbelief. It was silent joy. Oh my gosh! I did it! I really did it!
After that was just awaiting to find out my GP grade.It wasn't long. The grade sealed a perfect ending to a rough and tough JC life. Hard work certainly paid off and I proved to myself my own capabilities again. 2 major exams in life and I passed them with flying colours. My confidence has certainly increased. In future, I know I can and will aim for the best possible outcome there is because I have achieved it before.
Thinking back, I wonder what my scores for all the papers are. The subject I least expected to get an A is maths. I am sure I lost many marks for one of the papers. Well, life is full of surprises ya? I don't mind getting positive surprises everyday though. The essay I wrote for GP was also quite crappy. I remember repeating points as I was struggling to find points to elaborate on. Oh well, maybe I have the ability to talk cock in the correct way.
Now is the tough part. I don't know what I want to study in the university. I never tried anything before so I don't know what I like. Even if there is something I like, it might not be offered here or it might contain some elements which I don't like. I am also trying to apply for some scholarships. I won't lose anything but have a lot to gain if I get one. There is so many things to do but so little time. I wonder if they will allow me to think it over the whole afternoon back in camp. The most attractive courses to me now is banking and law. If I studied biology, I would certainly have took medicine. It's a pity. I still can by the way, but I'm not confident of catching up with the rest who took biology.
One thing for sure, I am looking forward to university. My next aim is to get first-class honours. Difficult, but nothing is impossible now. Hehe. Oh ya, hard work does pay off.
