Blessing in Disguise

Just got back my social work term paper today, the 3rd paper I have gotten back. The grade is not too bad again, but of course I expected much better again. Come to think of it, many people say Arts modules are good because there is no wrong or right, and you just have to argue your way through. However, sometimes because of this I do not know when I am right and when I have gone wrong. This is the second time where I feel that my grades could have been worth a higher grade.

Was speaking to Zhimin today, and we were also speaking around the topic of grades. I would say one would be lying if he says that grades does not matter to him/her. Who wouldn't want to do well. We were talking about honours and stuff, but I think its too early to worry about that. Just feeling a little hard done by that despite putting my good effort, it very oftenly never pays off. Are my essays not good enough? Can I never be as smart as the academically better ones?

However upon saying this, I am really glad that I am in Arts. I much prefer doing no right no wrong essays, than tackling the either right or wrong math and science problems. Was speaking to mich today about how my mistake in not applying for NUS last year actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as I would have ended up a Computing student. Met patrick the other day and just by looking at his test paper, I have been assured that Arts definitely suited me better.

Less than 3 weeks to exams, and yet Im lazy to start studying. This is bad.
