I finally got my score back from the exam 2 that was taken last week. As she was calling people’s name and score (she only says the score when you have a score above 80’s), I was pretty nervous. I thought for a second that she was calling names from the highest to lowest and it was around 12 people before she called mine. But initially, she started calling in order of score and once I heard something like 89 then 82…I was like, “oh crap”, but then she started calling people who have higher grades then after which gave me an inner relief.
It was pretty intense and I kept telling myself that I might get a possible 60 or 70 since it’s those type of exams that are indefinite in nature due to SQL statements and EERD. I knew however in my mind that the first part of the exam was a breeze and my only concern was the second part. I’m also confident in my EERD which has been my strongest, but I know that I can compete with the best with regards to SQL. The only major problem that I encountered during the exam was the DDL question which was worth 20 points, and thank goodness, she didn’t take too much points off. My final exam score came out as 94/100 (including bonus points) and I was relieved and happy since my hard work paid off. I was happy but disappointed at the same time since I didn’t get the highest score for the class (I might be the 3rd but not sure) since I really want to go to that banquet dinner lol.
Yesterday when I was driving home from school, I then realized how valuable a hard work can be combined with persistence to get whatever you want. I firmly believe that 100% input equates to 100% output. If you focus on what you want, you’ll get it provided that you take appropriate action to get there. Talk is talk but you have to walk the walk also. Me, I like to let my walking do the talking…I don’t like to brag since this will only encourage people to hate you and if you don’t live up to that expectation, the feeling is excruciating, and crushing at least.
There is so little room for error at this point of this semester especially in this class, and going into the final exam, I don’t want to be too stressed (as stressful as it is already). I can finally inhale a fresh set of air filled with confidence as I can finish this semester strongly. It is possible that I can get an ‘A’ in this class, but I need to get a higher grade in the final to get there. It is certainly not impossible since our professor is also giving us extra credit points for the team projects as well as in the exams. One thing is for sure though, and that will be…the final exam will be really hard.
2 more weeks before everything is over but I have to do a persuasive speech next week in which I have decided to sell my audience a metabolic formula such as a diet pill to help solve the problem of obesity. I have the outline in my head but I still have yet to write the outline and do the appropriate research to support my new, so called ‘drug’. The idea is not only about the drug itself, but it also takes good diet to get the body that you want as well as cardio and training. The main idea is shutting down the taste bud sensors + appetite reducer to help them eat frequent meals which speeds up metabolism. Contrary to beliefs that diet pills are worthless (cause majority of them are), my new pill exhibits ingredients that are powerful yet safe. Anyways, that’s it for now. It’s time to work on my MIS 160 report that will be due in 2 weeks (ouch).
