Woke up early this morning with my heart as heavy as mount everest. Today is the day the April semester results would be out. On 13th of September at 11am online. Pulled myself up from my comfy bed and played maple to calm the nerves. Exactly at 11am, I gulped and clicked slowly into the student portal. Only to find that the release of results was delayed as it was not updated yet. I found it so annoying as they should know what everyone should be so freaking nervous and every moment they delayed, the more nervous everyone would be. Hahaha. Eventually it did got released and I only knew after Huimin texted me. Nervously, I clicked slowly again into the student portal and indeed, the results were out and the first thing my eyes zoomed to look was:
'AY2012/2013 April Semester (Main)
....
Grade Point Average: 3.00'
The moment I saw that I was like grinning like some crazy woman to the computer screen as I scanned my results of the individual modules one by one and the thing that made me smile even wider was:
'Nutrition Across the Life Span.... B+'
Well... got to say its like so freaking unexpected because I haven't been doing well for any of the 2 quiz and I failed the term test and I was so upset before but now! Seeing this only made me feel that all the hard work had paid off. For the tough project and the semestral examination. The GPA was totally not expected as well because I was so scared I felt I had not been putting my best in everything when I looked at how hard others were studying. I had never ever touched GPA 3.00 as my year 1 results was so not good with GPA 2.65 and 2.38. This feeling of self-satisfactory... Yes! Must go out to celebrate soon.
