Woots. Passed physics as well. 45/80 ^^
Failed mid-yr but that only reduces overall score by about 1.5%.
But still, that's enough to make me drop from a C to a D =/

Three subjects down (with grades C, D and E. Not too good) with two more to go.
Hope that I won't fail the remaining two too badly.

The days leading to this Thursday, the deadline of PW written report (WR) submission, every afternoon has been reserved for groups to prepare and finalise it.
Guess there aren't many major changes to the WR that can be made at this point of time.

What I fear most is really the oral presentation (OP) part.
Will probably stumble at the Q&A section, like how I did yesterday during the OP workshop.

Well, I was anticipating some questions on the surveys conducted but that didn't happen.
The facilitator commented that I lacked confidence when answering his question on alternative ideas to my group's project. He also said that I was apparently too nervous throughout the presentation.

That's the problem I always face. Stage fright.
I have problems connecting with the audience and as a result, everytime will get nervous easily.
Worse, there isn't any well-known remedy to this.
But like I'd said in the previous post, regardless of the handicap, I'll just work my way out of this rut and end the school year on a high.

I've also bargained successfully for 2 hrs daily of gaming time after a rather heated argument with my parents over my scolding of our relative's son.
I just sort of lost my temper, got defiant, and acted in self-defence that playing online games on weekdays ain't any wrong.
And my mother actually gave in.
Kinda surprised at that as she has always maintained a hardline stance on the amount of play time I can have per week.

Before, it was 2 hrs per day on weekends and strictly no games on weekdays.
Hey, we aren't living in a closed command economy, you know.
This is a liberal society.
Freedom of choice does prevail, whether you like it or not.
Since I have my reasons (exams are mostly over), then you shouldn't even object to my request in the first place.

You may get appalled and disgusted at the unconventional way I achieve my desires.
But who cares?
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what methods you use to accomplish your goals.
