Promo fiasco

Well promo results are out and I feel relieved that I got promoted. But that's just about it. I am not at all satisfied with what I got. BBBCE. Not very encouraging. I feel I should have gotten at least an A for History, GP and Economics. But they got downgraded to B. But I am happy with Lit, I honestly did not expect a C after that fiasco. However, Maths is worrying me. I am supposed to be good in maths, then why am I doing so badly? I feel very depressed. And at this point, parents don't help either. All they did was critiscize my maths grade and completely ignore my other grades. Sigh.

In a way I guess they are motivating me but sometimes it feels nice to hear them say, "Well done!" But this time I guess I have only mself to blame. I should have studied harder and longer. I should've sacrificed CS, Warcraft and Maple and studied! I truly regret it. I am taking this as a wake-up call, like my dad said. Next year is crucial. Next year is the last chance I have to launch a successful career for myself. It is one opportunity that I cannot afford to screw up at all costs. Which is why I have come up with 3 resolutions in the wake of the Promo disaster.

1) Study for longer hours everyday
2) Pay close attention in Lecture and Tutorials (no more fooling around!)
3) Sort out my priorities and ditch gaming and TV addictions.

Seriously, this is my final shot. And I am not going to screw it. I will work hard to make BBBCE to AAAAA. Definitely! I have faith in myself.

As for my 121 classmates, I have faith in all of you. No matter how you guys performed, remember this is not the end of the world. You may have lost the battle (like me) this time, but remember the A-levels is the War and that is something we will all win. Let's all work hard towards the As.

And for those who didn't make it or got provisionaly advanced, all I can say is work harder! Put in your best efforts because we all know you guys can do it! All you need is a bit of hard work. I have faith in you guys. I love you all loads! Rock on 121! You guys have been amazing.
