i'm just sitting here...
it's 6.23 on a friday morning and my damn results are still not out. grrrrr.. and i can't sleep cuz visions of 4s are dancing in my head.
to pass the time, i'll add a break down of how the marking scheme goes...
(grrrrr.... i just spent the last 10 mins trying to insert a table, only to find out blogger doesn't accept the damn table.)
it's basically that a high distinction is 85% and above (awarded a grade 7) and a distinction is 75% to 84% (grade 6). the rest follow down the line. (esp for everyone from good ole sunny singapore, where a 7 is an unimaginable horror)
so 4s are an almost fail. realistically speaking the only subject i might get a 4 in is physics, cuz the paper was so darn hard. however, someone who took the same paper in may scored a 6 and she's from the same singaporean system that's nurtured my tender mind =P but then again... *sigh*
the upside is that vico, mr i'm-too-cool-for-school, has i think 2 5s and 2 6s with one grade pending. i think. and i have to have done better then that right? i mean, i'm an ies-reknown mugger. complete with batteries and caffiene, textbooks not included. grr. that's what 2 sleepless nights does to the mind i tell ya.
hmmmoz. it's now 6:52am and i think my results will be out at 9? i'm thinking that i only have to last until 9 but if the stupid admin doesn't freaking hurry up.... it's worse then the O or A levels. cuz now, most people actually do know their grades, depending on how benevolent their teachers are. at least then we suffered together.
i know i should start on my backlog of emails, but i'm at batty as a crosseyed hag doing counted cross stich (quoted from here) so i'll wait for a better time. or you guys might be getting oodles of nonesense.
after more surfing here it's now 7.37, and still nothing's up. the sun's been out for about 3 hours now. *deflates* i'll just toddle along and do laundry i guess. i hate the wait.
