Christmas!

The day has been pretty low-key for me. Kinda took a break after these few days of intensive programming. Played a bit on my PS2 and my laptop. Also went for Isaac’s barbecue in the evening. Nothing much to do – but of course the whole day is all about getting my results. My results were due to be released at 9, but the tension kinda made me unable to maintain my sleeping mode till 8. So I woke up, watched a bit of telly and basically waited for time to pass.

I guess I did pretty well, or should I say above expectation. I didn’t fail any module, didn’t even get the D that I was expecting. Instead the lowest grade I had for this semester is a B. I’ve got quite a pleasant shock to say the lest and I should be happy with such results. Considering that I’ve played way too much this semester, I must say that I’m pretty lucky to have gotten the grades that I’ve got. I’m just grateful that all the Mambo this semester did not pull my results down. I know I won’t be that lucky all the time. I definitely rode a bit of my luck this time round, and I really have to get my act together to make sure my results stay that way – I’m knocking on the door of a second upper honours.

This is definitely a day of mixed feelings for a lot of people. For those of you who have done well, congrats and keep up the good work; while for those who didn’t do too well, look on the bright side of life and I’m sure things will start to go your way in the coming semester. Results, after all, do not really determine how smart a person is.

Have a great Boxing Day.
