My Fall (Part II)
Like any good horror flick, there's a sequel! Just when you think you can't actually go any lower, you hit the ground, go up, and come down again very hard. Like a freaking little bouncy ball.
On Friday I wrote my computer science practical exam and for the very first time ever, I screwed up big time. It felt like a little something died inside of me; this had always been my forte, the one place where I could shine! Oh well, chin up, move on.
Amazingly enough, we got our marks back today (I wasn't the only one who didn't do too well, so I'm guessing the grading was a breeze) and, even more amazingly enough, I scored 25%! But only because he decided to grade differently than he originally wanted to (I might get a bit more actually, we’ll see). This makes me feel kind of dirty... but what can you do? Luckily I [think I] don't need anything from the practical exam because I did well enough everywhere else. If I had to rely on this, I would have been completely and utterly shattered.
Another saving grace is that I don't care any more. Practically no-one does. Last week sometime, the will to work left most of my fellow students and myself. Really should be doing work now for something important tomorrow or later in the week, but I can't bring myself to. We are all now drifting aimlessly and listlessly through lectures and tuts, just waiting for the exam to begin, because after the exam, we have holidays baby! W00t!
Congrats to The Freeman who had his birthday yesterday! Thanks for everything and I hope you have a clear and straight road ahead of you!
4 days of classes left, 2 weeks until first exam paper, 3 weeks until final exam paper and summer holiday.
Quote of the day (actually from Saturday): "He is a vegetarian, especially when his girlfriend is around."
