Billie Joe Amstrong said that;
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So the results of our first trimester examination is out. I have to admit that I wasn't too happy with my results. Well, I was quite overwhelmed when I saw it because I would never thought I would actually get a high CGPA. I'll just be honest and say that my CGPA is 3.89. Reason being is that I got 2 A- in my record; Principles of Economics and English. Yes, English. I was quite shocked to see that being my lowest rank because frankly speaking, I always have high expectations for this subject. As for Economics, well I never liked Microeconomics nor am I going to feel otherwise for Macroeconomics so I think that explains it all. I got an A for Accounting and I do know that I made several mistakes in my paper. Shockingly, I got an A+ for Business Mathematics. I would never imagine myself scoring an A+ for the subject I didn't like the most throughout the whole semester. But I can't compromise with what I've got now so alhamdulillah (:
My mum wasn't too happy when she heard of my results. I knew her too well; she wanted me to get a 4.0 flat. She was shocked with my A- in English through the phone and I was like... 'rub it in, Mama'. I knew she couldn't help it but feel this way. I'm accustomed with her high expectations.
As for my dad, I could tell that he was proud of me. I didn't tell him because I knew my mum would tell him during dinner. But I saw the comment he left in Facebook and it somehow motivates me to achieve the 4.0 flat I've yet to achieve.
"Congratulations... i cn live wt ur cgpa. my first smester i got 3.35 only. u can alwys try harder in the future. we bleve, u hv the quality to excell. go to sleep now..." - Abah
My abah rocks!
On a heavier note, I do have friends who are under probation. They had to cut some of their classes and sit for them in the next semester. Somehow, I felt guilty of myself... just because. I couldn't offer something better than a piece of advice. I want you guys to graduate with me. I want you guys to succeed too. I want all of us to be in the same Grand Hall, with transcripts and graduation robes, waiting to be called on stage. I want us to be... together and strive through it in one strike.
Here's an end to the first trimester; and say hello to the second one with a brighter light. Cheers!
