Not a very good day but..

Today we got back our Progress Report 1 Grade Point for Physics and I had a really rude shock (even though i could have easily calculated and expected it). I barely scraped a pass! Lol, it was like 50% on the line, Grade Point of 2.0. Even though i passed, i never really expected to get his low since all the while my lowest mark for any subject was 65%+ or 3.2. As mentioned in the earlier post, carelessness was the main devil during tests, and since this was physics, there was a lot of calculation and graphwork involved. On the other hand, this poor performance (seen across the class) could be partially attributed to our previous physics teacher, a former Hwa Chong Physics Olympiad (can infer his ability). Although he had the aptitude, he had absolutely zero teaching ability. He cant look people directly in the eye, gulps down his saliva after every sentence, and has a bad habit of playing with his marker cap. However, the class smarty pants still scored a perfect 100%, which serves to show that it ultimately boils down to our own effort. I certainly didnt put much effort, and as i have said, carelessness is incorrectable (personal opinion not fact). But then again, this PR1 is only based on two minor tests for the entire year, so its not very accurate for judging, as said by the teacher.

Updates on inter-class soccer. Our conquest to become Raffles League champions abruptly came to an end today when we got a 5-0 thrashing from one of the class powerhouses. *Once, their keeper dribbled all the way into our half of the park before losing possession, but we still couldnt score*. Well, it was kinda already over a long time ago, but my class, being evermore optimistic, still tried to play their best. We are looking forward to next year's soccer league when we get a final shot at the title before we leave for RJ (a sign of optimism once more).

Despites these so-called "poor performances", I am surprising quite unaffected. Lol, dunno why. O yeah, today's lab lesson was rather funny but i shant say why cause its slightly sexually offensive. Wonder how it feels like wearing skinny pants. Lol, I just got my first. Slow right? Who cares..
