I guess we had the typical nerves, because based on past experiences on our mid-years and prelims, it wasn't bright and sunshiny. A lot of people were stuck in clouds or thunderstorms. I was mostly concerned for my history and lit, especially after what happened in prelims. I couldn't help but expect myself to get Bs after thinking about all the mistakes I could've corrected. I even thought that maybe the invigilators thought I was cheating when I merely blankly scanned the hall. Anyway, all I wanted in that time of fear, was to get less than nine. If I got a nine, I might just had a chance to get to Senorschool through appeal. Apart from Senorschool, I didn't know where else to go. So, below nine was my best chance.
Anyway, then came when they were announcing those who got at least seven A1s. I felt really proud for the people I knew up there. I know most of them have struggled through, and I think they all deserve it. There are some people that are predictably going to get it, though. But besides that, I think they have honestly put in the effort to reach where they are now c: Honestly, I had the hope that I might just be up there too, but that was merely wishful thinking, the kind where you hope for miracles that could become half true. Despite that though, I am pretty happy with my eight c: I mean in hindsight, I maybe could've shaved off a point from my A Math or Biology (or even History!), but I think that would be my best.
I am pretty proud with myself though, for my full history (A2) combined humans (A1), and Chemistry (A1). I was rather concerned about history, especially since I had failed prelims. I honestly don't know what I did right this time, though. I mean like, I don't think my Cold War essay was that solid lol. Anyway, my combined humans was quite surprising too, because well, social studies is most people's Achilles heel. Literature was also a concern, because I had just passed that in prelims lol. I even thought that my Chrysalids essay's last paragraph was rather sketchy, but I had to write it anyway, because three paragraphs. I was rather happy with my poem analysis, so I think that might be what saved me c: Also Chemistry, which was a surprise, because I had been getting Bs for at least midyears and prelim. I could've done better for A Math and Biology, to be honest. Physics was an A2 which is what I got for prelims, so uh, I don't really know what that shows...
I'm not saying I'm unhappy with my eight (I think I've got a respectable score), but after all the hype, the buzz, the anticipation, I can't help but wonder where I could've done better. Maybe I could've gotten a seven, with a deduction of one point for CCA... Ah well, not like I can change my score now. I think eight points is still rather commendable and something to be proud of c:
I guess all that's left to do is hope that I'll get into Senorschool, as long as the six-pointers don't try and get there. I mean if they have six points and want to do IB, they should be able to get to the otherIBschoolthateveryoneknows. Here's to starting out fresh and anew in a new school!
~Sigh, now there's no excitement until school postings are out~
