My science prelim practical was a mess!! In physics, I did the graph wrongly, which caused my calculation of the gradient to go haywire too, and then the paper said: "Adjust the variable resistor to get a reading of 3.0V in the voltmeter." I did just that, but the reading in the voltmeter remained the same. I thought that something was wierd, so I made sure that I had connected the circiuts correctly. Then I tried again and the reading in the voltmeter still remained at 2.0V. THE THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VARIABLE RESISOR NEVER CROSSED MY MIND. WTH??? So I just guessed all the values that will come out in the voltmeter. Yeah, that's darn stupid. So little children out there, listen to me, don't MAKE SUCH A STUPID MISTAKE LIKE ME. My physics prelim practical is a SURE FAIL...T_T

It happened like a dream...

Today I am supposed to collect my 'O' level MT results at 2pm but I had my 'O' level english oral so I had to wait till I finished my oral before collecting the results. The oral was held in the library, and while I was waiting for the teacher to let us in, we saw the principal running up the staircaase. He had this broad smile on his face and when he saw us he asked us if we were taking our oral. We replied yes and he wished us good luck before sprintinging up the stairs with vigour, waiting to tell the others the results. From the look on his face, most of us could guess that the turnout was very good. But I was really disheartened. I knew that I did not do well and I was prepared for at least a B4.

Then I took my english oral. The teachers this time were really friendly and I felt I could relate better with them. This lifted up my spirits a bit. I also felt that they were pretty satisfied wwith me:D

Back to the topic...

After the oral examinations, I went up to the staff room to check on my results.

I stared...

And stared...

IT WAS ACTUALLY AN A2?????

WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THIS??? I GOT AN A??!!

I was so stunned but I couldn't stop smiling all the way home. The teacher had even confirmed my grades for me. Maybe it was a mistake? I must have been seeing aanother person's results and mistook it for my own. Hmmm.... Maybe I'll have to double- check when I come back to school tomorrow, just in case.
