Result is out

Two days ago, went to the uni's website to check out my result. Alhamdulillah, I did quite well, but I was pretty disappointed with World Literature. I got B for that - yeah, I know...it's hard to satisfy needs and desires. I guess, we, human beings, will never be satisfied with what we have, and always...alwayssss complaining!

I was advised to see the lecturer and ask for explanation for the not-so-good grade. I did confront him, when he gave me C+ for my first assignment. It didn't work out as planned. When I tried to argue my case, he gave ten other reasons why I shouldn't be bothered with the grade. "It's just a grade, don't worry. If I see the effort in you, I'll upgrade it!". So, I believed him. I worked hard for the next assignment and got a B+ for it. Ok, then I thought I would at least get a B+ for my overall evaluation because, the final exam and presentation was OK (ok as in B+ or A-). Well, perhaps I misjudged my capability in convincing the lecturer that I had put great effort in everything. And to go and see him again, to again argue with him...he'll list down an endless reasons as to why I am not a B+, A- or an A student, argh...that would be like surrendering myself to an evil demon. I'm planning to graduate with first class honours...but the B is a "puller", pulling me further away from my target.

Geez, I guess I shouldn't be complaining so much. God has given me advantages in most of the things in life, a B could only wound the surface, but not the soul and the spirit...

I'm picking up myself...re-collecting my strength, praying hard that I'll get straight As for my final semester and graduate with first class degree.

I'm smiling right now...SMILE everybody!! :)
