And finally, all singaporeans involved in the education industry, teachers and students alike, breathe a sigh of relief. the 2004 o-levels are, on all accounts, over. even though i should not have a care in the world for the next month or more, the education system will never let its students feel that kind of unrestrained, pure freedom. for you see, i still have to settle my firat 3 months, and it looks like the decision is made, what with my lousy prelim results.
sadly, nobody is to blame for this more than i am. of course the teachers could have set an easier paper. of course the school could have helped us more through moderation. but on the flipside, i should have been prepared for the high standard. and as i've said before, i shouldn't even need to rely on moderation.
but it's no use feeling bitter any more. what's done is done, and unless i have time-altering powers, all the regrets won't make a difference.
everybody appears to have their life plan set out in front of them. i do too as well, to a certain extent. however, it's not too detailed. all it says is "do whatever it takes to get a good university education, preferably majoring in chemistry, then find a well-paying job and earn bundles of money in the next 15 years to last forever." kind of vague, if you ask me. after consultation with several relatives and teachers, it appears that the only way my plan has the remotest chance of coming true is if i take up science in jc. quite frankly, i feel i'm quite up to it, seeing that both interest and ability are in place. it's just that the teachers in, say, VJ and YJ are worlds apart. i'm not trying to discriminate, but past experience in both primary and secondary school has proven this.
wednesday will be oh so fun. really.
