Jumping onto a cloud of faith.

yesterday after school i figured out that i missed a huge opportunity to watch asian's best high jumpers in action. Enzer Asian All-star championships was held on 28th. Imagine I had a video camera(i just don't have it!), going down to CCK stadium and filming how the jumpers did their jumps.

There was a change in gameplay for me in the prelims results. Originally my plan was to use chinese's B3 score to replace physics's, because I didn't have enough time to revise for it at all. It was a 180 deg turnover, because I had a A2 for physics. OH man...If I knew i could hit a 70 with such hurried preparation, i would've spend just a few more hours studying the subject. Nevertheless, I was hit by the Social Studies results. I managed only a 23/50.
I hoped my A-maths will get me a A2. I hit a 45/80 for the first paper, so i have to get 67/80 to pull off a A2 overall. I have confidence. Yah!
I observed and thought for a while in class. Why is it that everyone in the class is doing so badly in SS only after the mid-yr exams? This is questionable. The humanities HOD should think abt it. I know they cannot really do much to help but moderation of the marks will be good though. I just don't get it. No matter how hard i tried to write well, the marks were just below average. It's not that I changed the way i write, nor is it that i didn't understand the different topics in SS. Now I only hope that I can get over this and move on.
This is fate. I can't change it.

I seriously suspect the experience of the teacher who marked our structured-essay questions. I noticed on Adeline's paper, there were comments like, "Not linked" or something. I saw two of the same comments on a single question, and is striked off. I looked at Finian's paper, it was also the same. Have you seen a marker writing a comment and striking it off? Not on a single student's paper only. Obviously the marker does not understand the marking scheme, or prolly she doesn't know how a perfectly well-written answer looks like. Yeah this marker of our SS paper differed slightly from the strict Miss Leong. This time the marker simply gives you the red ink when she spots a small bit of inacurracy, broken links, and unsupported examples. I've seen many comments like "Not well-supported" and "not well-explained". This is only a 1hr30mins paper ok!? You think we're writing a real essay? We are doing the questions based on our knowledge, no english writing skills."Not well-supported" and "not well-explained" doesn't mean that it is not " and not ". If the whole of 4e1 took the exams and none scored more than 10 marks for any of the 12 or 13marks questions, will other class do well? If really it is the latter, then the marker is biased against the "top" class.

Now I'm leaving behind everything. I'm preparing for the big O's. 5 weeks is all i got. Critical. I will learn my mistake of revising struggling at the last moment.
