Promo 2 has officially ended for me as of today. But i'm not particularly anticipating the release of the results. I know that the possibility of me doing as well as last year's Promos or this year's Common Test will be low. My total lack of confidence is aided by the fact that all of the papers for this Promo were set in such a way that one paper will be more difficult than the other. In other words, I have to hope/pray/beg that my stronger paper will offset the poorer performance of the other. I'm prepared to face less-than-satisfactory results this time round. But it's perhaps apt to mention that i really did study hard; it was just poor time management or extreme nervousness on my part which caused me to lose my marbles during the exam. The result? I wrote stupid and nonsensical answers. I don't care what others say about me still being able to do well. It doesn't matter. As long as i know that i'm not performing up to a standard that i expect from myself, i will never be satisfied. But it's all over now, and whatever i say will not make a difference. Guess i should set this aside, take a few days' rest and concentrate on Promo 2 after that. After all, it constitutes a higher weightage than Promo 1. I've promised to let myself rest for the next 2 days, as well as over the weekend. I should really start buzzing for Promo 2 very soon. Call me kiasu, but i don't care. If that's what it will take for me to redeem myself, that's how far i will go along to get what i want.
