grades aren't eveything yes
post a level celebrations more or less over. while waiting for church at 1030, i was thinking of using dis half n hr or more to take stock of wad has just happened the past 2 or 3 days.
alrighty. top of the list. the a level results. i wd think dat i adopted a very laid back attitude toward receiving the results coz i was telling myself dat i wd accept any grade cambridge forced me to reconccile wif. on hindsight, i think i actually expected 3As n at least n A for gp. n when i walked down the atrium n saw the board which has the top scorers list, i actually half-expected to find my name on it. so when the got dat paper thingy from gilbert lee, it felt like a let down. not to mention dat he actually rubbed it in by saying he expected me to b a 4A student. but i guess wif the grades i got i can still get into nus archi. which is all dat matters actually. it is a single-minded goal albeit a very dangerous one. next to aceing my As or Os, i think i never ever wanted something so badly, in the academic sense. hope for the best, but meanwhile, i’m just relieved dat the As r finally n truly over.
last day at work was spent saying all the goodbyes n thank yous, including presenting my work to angelene n using dat one chance to sell megaman to my best ability. somehow it feels very fulfilling n in my heart i can say dat angelene is a very very good boss. at the same time, having my duties to dp lifted from me is a real burden lifted off me, n i’m finally, a free man once again.
post-results. went over to the art room to catch up wif the aep pple, or wads left of us, for the very last time, i think. after getting our certified true copies printed (by dat time it was fast approaching 5), joined the class guys for dinner n pool. lost my wallet on sat while at east coast cycling, thankfully onli thing of real worth inside is my ic, plus one sentimental thing i’ve kept inside since childhood. other than the ez-link card, driving registration card, n my art friend card, the rest is all trash. thankfully i took out all the name cards from my wallet dat morning or else realli heart pain. which means dis week i’ll b kept busy trying to get a new wallet up n running, n getting myself pysically n mentally prepared for army.
as for all other memories, i’ve come to a point where they’re something so special n private dat i’d rather keep them to myself.
