A Fresh Clean Slate

I'm so thankful that I managed to pass all my modules.

And I might have realised what has caused my so-called "downfall".

Complacency.

Yes, I was probably getting a little complacent and thought that things would turn out the way I thought they would. But of course they didn't, and I was steered off-course.

For HP101, I thought the MCQs were gonna be a little more straightforward. I thought the short-answer questions were really short-answer questions. I thought the lecturer wouldn't test something that isn't that much psychology-based. I was wrong.

For CBC214 (especially), I thought the standard of the paper would be similar to the previous year's. I thought that I would be able to figure out the solutions by referring to the notes like I did during the mid-term. I thought that enzyme kinetics would not appear in the paper because it was only a small section and the lecturer only completed it in the nick of time before semester ended. I was wrong.

For CBC216, I thought that those graphs we plotted would not be tested. I was wrong.

For the HW102A critique assignment, I thought I'd do fine based on my own standards and didn't bother asking my peers to look through and edit it for me like others did. I was wrong.

So you see, complacency has led me to the worst results of my entire university life.

But I'm determined to make it right from now on. As I always tell myself, "Everything happens for a reason", hence I feel that THIS whole debacle is a wake-up call for me. A loud one at that too.

I guess I'm starting on a fresh clean slate, and I really hope that this lesson sinks in my head real deep.

Time to get that GPA up where it should belong.

Ok so timetable planning has started and I must say that the choices for this semester are pathetic. I need to find another module and one for back-up. It's not easy! Plus I thought that Entrepreneurship will be available next semester but it isn't! Gosh.
