Mistakes

It was a mistake that I failed to study one particular tutorial thinking that it would not come out for the exam but I got a huge shock when I saw the similar question for today's exam and Murphy's quote was simply on my mind all the time during the entire exam.

It was a mistake that I focused on the past year exam papers thinking that similar questions would be set and hoping that easier questions would be asked but the paper which I took was mostly theoractical and one which I was unprepared for and ended up smoking my way through all the theory questions.

It was a mistake to have planned my exam timetable where I had to endure the torture of 4 exams in 5 days as it simply took a toll on me and I felt very sian after the 2nd paper for this week and which made me realise to plan my timetable properly for future exams to avoid a repeat of this semester as I simply lost track of the days. It was that bad.

It was a mistake to have taken up engineering as these exams show that I'm simply not cut out for the enginnering lifestyle and I'm not very keen on an engineering career where I have to sit at my desk and do meaningless paperwork and basically lead a boring and unsatisfying career.

It was a mistake of NBS to have not considered me for their business or accountancy programme as I love the subjects which my friends in these faculties are doing as it's interesting and more real-life and would not have minded the heavy workload and could have gotten good grades in the process.

It was a mistake to neglect Physics in Junior College when that particular subject was the main stickler in my course choices as I was flatly rejected by most non-engin and science courses though I did get a decent grade for my Econs and thought this would have been enough to secure my place in the Arts programme in NUS and it backfired. The feelig of seeing someone who does not deserve to be in NBS or Arts programme can make your blood boil.

It was a mistake that I did not act to recitify the mistakes that I have been making for the past two semesters which is not starting early as the exams clearly showed that my last minute exam preparation was simply useless as consistent hard work would have gotten me decent grades. Mistakes!!!!I hate the word of mistakes!!
