Expectations.

Awww. I'm unhappy with my exam results this time. :( I was expecting low HDs because that has been my trend with these two lecturers, but while journalism met those estimates - I tanked Media Audiences and got a ghastly 75. It singlehandedly brought down my GPA with that luminous "D" ... to be honest, it doesn't stand for Distinction, it stands for Damage. :(


Then again, it's my own damn fault for having such high expectations. Media Audiences is an effing ballbuster. I don't understand how Shang and I got HDs for our major assignment, then ended up with Ds for the overall when all that was left were 10% Online Discussion (which many regard as bonus marks) and a 40% for exam (which we slaved our butts off for). I wanna know what the correct answers are, since the results indicate I got them very wrong.

Why I'm upset:
Me: 75/100 - 42/50 = 33/50 <--- means I did very badly in the exam and/or online postings.
Shang: 78/100 - 46/50 = 32/50
Mandy: 72/100 - 41/50 = 31/50

Perhaps to have a response like "Aww, I didn't get all HDs this time..." is the reaction of a spoiled child, pampered by overconfidence and doting adults. My dad said to me, "Wouldn't other people be happy with those results?" and pointed out that I graduated ... lol. But this spoiled child still has a tear rolling down her cheek and no mood to celebrate tonight. She has been humbled.

does it really matter what results you get since you're doing an art degree? i doubt your future employees even care. it's like a marketing degree. no one looks at your grades.

It matters to me because I care. Why would I work for grades just for my future employers when it's so much more fulfilling to enjoy my own success for myself?
