BADDER LUCK
So, yesterday I said that I had bad luck. Well, today was kinda really bad. It didn't help that I was already feeling emotional in the morning being broke and all. Yes, being broke makes me emo.
After failing fantastically on a test that counts for 25% of the module, I just completely ruined another 25% of that same module. Can't really say it's my fault though.
What happened was when I got the paper I was already in a panicky state. I just was. Even though it was an open book+laptop test. There wasn't the usual 10 minutes reading time before the paper. And I barely noticed when we could actually start the paper. When I saw the paper, I thought I brought the wrong notes so I had to rely on my memory and the test wasn't easy. I thought I really effed it then cause I didn't prep for that test. When I was on to section B, I thought it was pretty weird that there were no spaces for answers. Even for section C. But I just did it anyway because, well, no one else seemed to have any problem.
It was only when I was on to section C when I really really noticed that something was amiss. Because I was pretty sure that the notes I brought was for the right module and when I thought I was wrong, I was wrong. Also, my lecturer gave us an example of what would come out for the test (a case study) and there were none of those in the paper. I checked my planner and realised that I got a paper for the wrong module! And I had less than half an hour! I went up to my lecturer all shaky and asked if I had the wrong paper, and he was kinda outraged that I had that paper. Later, my classmate suggested that the paper I took was actually the final exam paper. He was all like "WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS PAPER?" And I tried to answer but I couldn't because I didn't know and I was on the verge of tears already and I couldn't answer but he kept asking me. I swear I did not hear him saying that the paper had 4 pages and obviously I don't look at other people's paper to see if theirs were the same. I have principles! I don't cheat! Most of the time.
He gave me the real paper and by the time I got to my seat I had a breakdown. I couldn't throw the 25% away! It took me awhile to clear up and concentrate on the paper. So embarrassing to have a breakdown in class. I think everybody knew because it's a test and everyone's so quiet and my friend said she could hear my voice quivering. And after that, even after the paper, when I tried to explain how I got the paper (IDK!) to other people, I couldn't help but start to cry. I am NOT a crying type of person!
I managed to fill in some answers for each of the questions to try and "spread out" the marks. It was actually a pretty short paper. I don't know if I can do much better than what I did. Maybe only slightly. I may be able to retake the paper but I might not if the marks are fine...
