Today is may day cum ascension day. We attended mass last night, so we dont need to wake up early to go to church. whereas mum and dad has to. hehe. i passed the germs to my sister! she's having a bad sore throat, so both of us went to see doctor. she has got literature exam tmr. so with her mc, she can get to skip school in the morning and just sit for the paper in the afternoon.
Have been busying following up those emails on bgs grades. Because of her flawed grading system which produces many c s and d s, many students from her 2 classes are trying to have this 'appeal'. The matter was even brought forward to the dean of students and tmr each of the 3 class reps will have a meeting with the prof and the dean to discuss.
This issue really kept me thinking that it s true of what my seniors said. smu is getting more competitive with students getting more and more grades-conscious. That's why we have more students come knocking on professors' door to ask for grade review. (hoping to get higher grades). whatever it is.. i ll never do that. I always believe in accepting what s given to me. Though seriously this time my gpa will be again dunno where. perhaps even lower than last sem?! Sometimes i really have that weird feeling when everyone seems to think im smart. just because they ask, hey so now where are u? studying what? then i say econs. where? smu. the next word is, WA! Last week when shopping with my mum, this sales lady lorr.. kept singing praises of smu and saying that she's very proud of me being in smu. My teachers in srjc and HI also think i m that smart hehe..
Well... that s only the outside. the surface. seriouly with my these kind no a type of grades i really dunno what sort of degree i ll get when i graduate. ok, saying that smu system cant be compared to the standard type of honours system. nus and ntu. even so, not to mention the lowest honours which is cum laude, merit has to have at least a gpa of 3.00. arh.. where am i now???
Having said that does not mean that i will go all out to strive towards beautiful grades. No doubt, i used to super obsessed about marks in the past years. But I vow never to revert back to that type of mugger life. I m so happie now. ~wee..
