Common test results were released last week, and it was unexpected. I took 5 papers - Strength of Materials, Applied Mechanics, Aircraft Structures & Systems, Engineering Design and finally CAD/CAM.

The scores were 99, 100, 78, 79 and 86 respectively. In addition I also received news that I got a grade B for my IS module "Understanding Relationship & Sexuality". How am I suppose to take all this in just one shot? Especially the two papers that I studied the hardest and scoring pathetic results like that. It's really something discouraging, when I really put in all my effort and heart into it. Adding on to the pile of stress is friends around me who aren't that good are actually getting results way higher than mine. I am not trying to be arrogant, but it's the first time getting results like this. Maybe in the past I'm used to scoring 90 plus average for every paper, thus taking everything for granted. This common test for this semester definitely sent a very strong warning and wake-up call to me.

So what's next? After receiving saddening results like this, I believe it's time to put aside all the fun time, and push myself and prepare myself for the final hurdle. Just one more month, and I will be free from all this burden. Yes I know, studying is really important, especially if you want to survive in this society. But there is more to life other than studying, like mission trips! I don't know why but I am very eager and anxious to participate in my next mission trip! Maybe I am still young, maybe I have not seen enough of the world yet. At least I can put down everything here and travel to somewhere with God, and spent quality time with Him, rather than being stuck here and facing temptations everywhere around me.

Just hang on for that one more month and it's time for attachment!
