Reflection

Hey people (:

this post will be, as the title suggests, a reflection of my term one progress in school so far.

However, the smiley face up there does not represent my mood now.

Okay, here goes.

I haven't done very well so far. And I'm not very happy about it, considering that the ratio of the amount of effort I put in to my results is not very balanced. And the difference is relatively large.

Though I don't deny that I did not put in that much effort for my first test of the year, my first mathematics test, I feel that it's unfair to say that I did not put in a considerable amount of effort, especially for the humanities subject.

Though all my grades were average, I did quite badly for two subjects. QUITE. And those were my two bogey subjects, math and science. Again, this year, they came back to haunt me.

I suppose the first math test for the year was sort of a "rude awakening". After failing my first math test, I was shocked and worked harder than I had ever worked before for my second math test. And i'm pleased to say that my hard work paid off, enabling me to achieve a grade which I had never achieved before for mathematics, an A1. That just goes to show how hard work pays off.

However, for science, I was not so fortunate. Despite memorising the characteristics of lenses, critical angles, etcetc, I totally forgot about the drawing section and was completely stunned on the day of the paper. I had not practiced drawing ray diagrams at all! This caused me to achieve a really bad grade for my science paper (not an F9 though, whew).

I was "inspired" to write this post after referring to my friend's blog. (http://2010languageartsblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/dont-worry-be-happy.html)

Truth be told, i'm relatively displeased with my results for the first term of the year. My goal for next term is to allow my MSG to drop by at least one grade. And I will do as much as I can to achieve it.

Wish me luck, people!

Sean.
