nothing is forever;

i am feeling melancholic today. for no apparent reason.
i think it's 'cos i've been on a happy streak for too long.
my happy glands need a rest.
so body releases more sad hormones.
see, we study biology for a reason.

i just got back my assessment for this term
i'm satisfied with my results. although i still feel i can do better. fyi, the IB system is totally opposite from the o level one where the most number of points is the best mark.
in IB, 7 is the highest grade and 1 is the lowest.
beh.
i got 36/42.
oxford's entry requirement is 38.
i aim to get 40!
but it's not easy? it's not like 2 points. it's 2 GRADES. and it's so freaking difficult to advance a grade. it's not about the effort you put in? it's more about your understanding of the subject. and sometimes, you can only understand so much and the rest is just beyond your grasp.
