I have disappeared for quite sometime as I have been hiding in my room preparing for my final exams which ended today. For the past week, well I can say I have been studying very hard for the exam. An average of 5-6 hours a day which I have no past cases of such.
On one hand, I am happy that all these studying is currently finished for the time being and I can have my well earned rest. But on the other hand, the fact that I have finish my 2nd year 2nd semester(honeymoon period) and have pass on to the 3rd year(rated as toughest period of whole course) is kind of giving me an headache and is something that I do not look forward to.
Another thing,although my results today was 5 (Russian marking standard which is equivalent to an A) I wasn't really pleased with the way I got the marks. This result was practically begged from my teacher by me. Why ?
Let me explain, the final mark for this subject is 30% from class marks, 30% from final computer test and 40% from the final oral test. I knew from the start that class marks will influence the end result but never did I care to mantain my results and to make matter worse I normally do not study for the classes.
Hence my class marks were only at the passing range. When the time came, my teacher added all the marks together and even though I had excellent marks from the final computer and oral tests, it wasn't enough to give me 5 for the total marks. So in the end, I was partially arguing and begging my professor to give me a 5 for the results.
After a lot of discussion with the other teacher and a call to the dean office, they finally allowed me to have the mark.
Lesson learned, all classes are equally important, never underestimate the importance of studying for the usual classes.
