medal tally
so, I got what I was hoping for, which looks quite decent: AABB & A for GP. same as CT2, but different subjects. you win some, you lose some.
maths was a bummer though, a low B for that, cos of not enough prep, bad time management in the pure maths paper and some carelessness all round. before the paper was returned i wasn't feeling too good about it alr, partly cos it didn't feel right even during the paper... even though everyone was like 'whoa rayner sure A lah...' -.- i hate that... psychologically you get your hopes up consciously or unconsciously, and you're also cultivating the mental image of yourself and your pro-dedness, which is bloody screwed up.
B for econs too, cos i fucked up the essays... i've been writing the stuff that mr sowden's been expecting (at the very least, expecting for a 16 or 17, i guess), and getting 13 or 14 for it. and one 11 which i really don't think is crediting the stuff i wrote. for the market failure qn i got some crap about no evaluation, whatever that means, and scraped a bare pass (13/25) even though all 4 varieties of market failure were covered pretty thoroughly. it is very pissing when all along you've been working up to marks like 17s and 18s, and then prelims gives you mixed signals like that. hell i don't know what went wrong. shall see sowden sometime.
good news is mr purvis actually knows my name now LOL and complimented me on my PC for the first lit paper =) cool. after smashing me near-continuously for every paper, that made my week, i think. heh. amazing that both mr p & b could look charitably upon my humble offerings even after reading xy's good stuff.
i guess it was pretty good after all...
feel bad about looking kind of insensitive after the maths came out though, lots of people got smashed really bad and, i don't know, empathy's not my thing. i guess it really riles people, when i sit there kind of stoned when i have a B and people around me are going wtf E or S, and i'm not saying or doing anything to help. thing is, i just don't know how to react... i guess people can be inadequate in lots of different ways?
