What a day.

Today was Marketing paper and I was so confident to get that A that i spent nights studying with the help of yucky Gold Roast 3-in-1 coffee. So there i was, practically skipping to school excited about the paper. I swear anyone could see the smile of smugness on my face.

The happy part of the morning was when I had Milo cereal for breakfast which is a surefire way to get me all happy and revved up for the day. Upon reaching the examination hall, i scanned through the notes that i painstakingly put all my effort in and went in. I stepped out of the examination room half an hour earlier than the rest of the class, feeling satisfied. So imagine my feeling when i realised from Joanne that there was a whole Section C to the paper that i did not know existed!

SO STOOPID!! I could have easily answered those questions! Complacency and carelessness never felt as painful as this before. After much calculation, i think i got a D. If lucky a C. And even if i scored an A for my next two papers, my GPA would most likely not differ from last semester. I FELT LIKE CRYING. All that effort gone to waste due to my carelessness. I tried appealing to take the paper again but in vain. I know it sounds stupid but i was desperate. Eddie, my PEM looked sad that he could not help me. But what's done is done. I took a whole of 3 hours of silence to realise what the consequences for my stupidity were and i felt such a deep regret. It hurt so bad and what hurts the most was the fact that it is only put away into my archives of stupid accidents and a lesson learnt.

BAH!!!! But i'll just keep smiling and put in my all for the next papers.
