Year 2 Sem 2

It is official. This is the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!

I have a tendency of covering up my scores when i receive them and revealing them little by little.

The first thing i saw was
EE2012: A

It was enough. And it got better from there
EE2021: A

EE2032: A-

PC2232: A-

Cap after S/Uing my law mod = 4.79

A likely dean's list award coming up.

Naturally, the first thing i did was share this with all my espadas. There will be celebrations, naturally. One tomorrow and two at the weekend.

Now, my review.

PC2232
Projected result: B+/A-
Actual result: A-
I'm very happy with this result because i know i didnt do that well for my final paper with a major careless mistake. It was quite 50-50 B+ or A- so i'm as happy as i can get with an A- for this module. (I was kinda chasing 4As for my aunt who rewards me for every A i get, and i felt ashamed in my past sems for getting a couple of As every sem cos its kinda sad and i said to her before this sem that i wanted to get all A grades this sem. Rewards should be for something amazing like what i accomplished this sem. I honestly felt ashamed for receiving rewards for 2 As a sem, which was far within my ability.) This module was definitely the weak link in my hunt for 4A grades and i'm honestly very happy and relieved i scraped an A- here.

EE2021
Projected result: A without a doubt
Actual result: A
My first engine mod i was confident without a doubt that i would get an A, and i did. Didn't let down my cousin(masters in semiconductors) and got an A in my semiconductor module. Its a pity i'm not specializing in this, but I'm still very happy i was rewarded for what i deserved in this module, which was an A.

EE2012
Projected result: B+/A-
Actual result: A
Thrilled. One word sums it all up. I know i raped the final paper but this is the first time in my uni life that i managed to come from behind to get an A. Usually i own the midterms and get cocky and get owned by the finals and drop a grade. This time my midterms were bad due to the prof's system, but i didnt give up and worked hard for my finals. But i couldn't have done it without that moment of inspiration. I dedicate this to the higher powers for giving me that moment of inspiration. i can still remember that moment in the exam; it was sheer brilliance. That question was definitely ridiculously difficult, and i couldn't even understand the question the first time i read it. And somehow the second time, it all just fell into place. That moment singlehandedly brought it from A- to A, i reckon.

EE2032
Projected result: B+/A-
Actual result: A-
Another weak link in my quest for 4A grades, but i didnt really work as hard for this mod since it was only 2 MCs so i don't feel as delighted as i do for my other modules. But i'm still glad i scraped an A-, considering the teacher for the first half of the sem was one of my favourite teachers.

So there you have it. I'm a little too distracted to post a really good and lengthy review because i have alot of things to do now. This post would have been alot more "high" if i typed it immediately after i got the results, but i was busy spamming my "high" on my espada lol.

If i do get the deans list as expected, it will be the biggest and best achievement in my life... so far.
It will be a classic story of the boy who got one miserly A in his A levels, became a man and worked hard to become top 20 in cohort in university, dean's list.

My dad was slightly worried about how hard i was working, as he heard stories from basically everyone else that engineering is tough, and both the ones at the bottom and the ones at the top are struggling to get by.

But it isn't tough for me. I think i blogged about the feeling i had before the finals, and i still remember it clearly.

I'm happy during school term.

But i ain't going to rest on my laurels. that isn't my style.

I'm not mature enough to do that
Some people might sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labour but i'm not mature enough to relinquish my lead and allow other people to catch up. I'm going to use this chance and this lead i gained to obtain a stranglehold on my quest for first class honours.
