oh, my poor GPA!
A quick calculation of my GPA revealed that this is the lowest I’ve ever gone since I started out university two years ago. The reassuring thing was that I still had my honours, but I was equally close to losing it.
On hindsight, I realized that even if I did get a ‘C+’ for CAT, my honours will still be (barely) intact. Well, marketing research was a disappointment. A ‘B’ grade is really not what I was aiming for, but I guess my midterms really screwed up. Consumer Behaviour was the only one which went above my expectations. I really thought I was going to die for that course, because the instructor’s grading was so erratic.
Now, the disastrous thing is that, in order to get magma cumm laude, I need to get 7 ‘A-’s and 7 ‘A’s for the rest of my three terms in SMU. Mission impossible?
Yes. Sounds like it.
Remaining courses to do:
1. Ethics & Social Responsibility
2. Management of People at Work
3. Strategy
4. Advertising OR Services Marketing
5. Pricing
6. Strategic Brand Management OR Marketing Strategy
7. Research Methods in the Social Sciences
8. Introduction to Psychology
9. Cognitive Psychology
10. Cultural Psychology
11. Industrial and Organizational Psychology
12. Philosophy of Social Science
13. Experiences in Small Business Consulting
14. Business in China OR Economic History

Oh, another quick update. I've rebonded my hair. For the third time. Well, frankly speaking, I don't really like rebonded hair all that much, but if it saves me the hassle of trying to make my hair look straighter with a styling cream and lots of hot air EVERY MORNING, then why not?
Yes, I am cursed with bad hair and bad skin and bad eyesight. Which makes me kinda ugly in appearance. Or at least, average-looking.
But I'm also quite tired of being ugly.
The truth is, I may sound like I have self-esteem problems. Perhaps. But then again, with money woes, there's no point in feeling low just because I can't afford to have special hair treatments or invest in products to smoothen my skin. With so many things to do, there's no point in whining just because I can't afford that much time to care for my hair or skin. And of course, with a genetic make-up like this, even if I did have time and money to pamper myself, it'd be quite a miracle to resolve my hair and skin problems. And of course, I can't wear contact lenses too, because it's too darn painful to wear them.
Even still, I can't help saying that I'm tired (of being ugly).
Though some day, I will become a swan. Eventually. (Maybe after starting up my own company and creating the latest pop-culture, which I intend to name after my catch-phrase.)
