Wham episode, part the second
On thursday I found out that I failed my final exam in japanese, which I took in january. Back than, the teachers stated that they will the students their scores, so that they could prepare for retaking it. I thought it meant they will tell everybody in person, and after a few weeks with no news I forgot about the issue. It turned out they meant posting the results directly to evrybody's page in the university system. I wasn't looking there since I logged for subjects at the beginning of the year. It was way past any re-take terms. Theoretically that would mean I failed the semester.
I couldn't let it pass. I found the teacher with whom I had the written exam with and told her about my problem. She agreed to let me examine my paper again in search for any overlooked points. Out of 100 points possible, I had 57,5. The minimal passing score was 60. After reexaming, the value arose to 59,25. Than the teacher did the same. She actually found some additional points and changed the score to 60,5 - pass. I was incredibly relieved.
Also, about my essay on China. Back than the teacher said that I can send him first draft of the essay before spring holidays. I understood it as "it's optional". I was slowly writing the essay in my free time. In the last week before the holidays, I accidentally met him and he reminded me about the deadline. It seems only I understood it as optional. I had only the part about ancient China finished, so firstly I send only this part, explaining my problem. The teacher prolonged the time of sending the finished essay, covering period only until the republican revolution, until the end of this week. The was also in my opinion overly critical of my writings on ancient China. I wanted to write him a letter in defense of it, but eventually assumed it's not worth the work it costs. I finished the essay yesterday. I will have to write another one, but the teacher haven't come up with topic yet.
I seem to be drowning. I have a tendency of falling everything I start this semester. I failed two tests in english in a row. I failed my chinese homework. I fail half of my japanese homewrok, despite trying hard. I feel extremely bad. And tired. I wnated to write this entry back on thursday, but didn't find the strenght to do so until now.
Now, some news form Poland. Firstly, the ones that make me excited. This year, a lot of new, longer manga series started being published here. "Wolf and Spice"! "Otome Yokai Zakuro"! "Vassalord"! All cool stuff. In may, a shonen-ai themed manhua (whose name I forgot) and "Madoka Magika" will be released. Since the second one is listed as having 13 volumes, it means that all the spin-offs will be published too. Yay!
In ANNOYING news, there's a social compaign going on aiming to produce a law about "sexual morality". The project includes delegalisation of homosexuality, complete ban on abortion, will also make artificial impregnation, talking about sex with underage people and cheating on one's lawfully married partner a crime. It's insane. And it's close to gain 100.000 signatures needed for reading in the parliament. How disgusting.
I hate my grandparents. They call me "a hating person", while it's grandfather who provokes most of the aggression. He is the hating person, if anybody is. But the grandparents assume it's ok to call your wife and guest "a cunt" or "a cat" (a VERY degradative term meaning someone who's not christian), but it's NOT ok if somebody talks about the recent pedophilia and money defraudation swindles in polish catholic church. Earlier, I tried to keep up with comments such as "Visiting a caffe is immoral" or "Poeple who do not attent a mass on every sunday and holy day are immoral", but now I have enough. I'm thankful I am spending most of the week in another town.
