- Corinthians 13 Hope Well it seems that's that for those lingering First Class Honours hopes, as I only managed a 4.50 (again), when I really needed a 5. Here goes the post-mortem: CS4213 Game Development - A-. Thought I did decently well for this, with 18/20 for the midterm and 28/30 for the labs, but it seems the final examinations left something to be desired. Few regrets here as I don't really see how I could have boosted my chances much more anyway. LSM1301 General Biology - A-. Not enough for the A in the end, but no regrets either. It was immensely (okay, maybe a bit less than immensely) fun :) CS4101 B. Comp. Dissertation - IP. The FYP. Can relax a bit more now, though since it's a shared one, maybe not. CS3108B Independent Work - CS. For the holiday project. More modular credits just for fun. SAP for computing: 4.50 (third semester in a row...) EC3312 Game Theory & Applications To Economics - B+. Have to admit this was a bit of a surprise, since I *did* top the cohort for the midterms; perhaps not finishing the last question did cost me, or were there more mistakes mixed in? Nevertheless, I can live with this, just a bit disappointed since it's one of my pet personal interest topics after all. EC3353 Health Economics I - A+. The irony is that I only took this module as it fit nicely into my schedule. Just goes to show that one's foresight is limited, no? Relatively straightforward from beginning to end, kinda like Financial Economics. Now if I could only get six of these one semester... EC3361 Labour Economics I - B-. Unprepared midterms + slack off for finals after the Game Development examination = poor result + no complaints. Would still take Labour Economics II next semester if the schedule were right. So, now what? The second-upper classification is probably secure as long as I don't miss any final exams, but of course there remains some lingering sourness of once again not attaining the maximum possible. In a way I suppose that's the story of my life so far... PSLE (lost to two), O Levels (one A2), A Levels (both S Papers only merits) and now, probably some 0.0X points away from the top class. But it is also fair to say that I know exactly who to blame, and that is myself; Mostly, it was a case of wanting it, but not wanting it enough. And perhaps not wholly without reason, since this attitude has gotten me through quite alot, and really who cares about your PSLE once you get past your Os, who cares about your Os once you get past your As, right up to the point where nobody much cares about your bachelor's once you get your Ph.D. (in the same subject). Looking at the big picture, it seriously didn't matter enough. Still, I don't particularly like "losing" (you're looking at a guy who's still waiting for Brighton to beat Man Utd in the FA Cup Final in Championship Manager 4 after some fifty reloads), and it still is a little hard to take each time the imperfect results come back - but then in the modules where others scored higher, I suppose quite a few of them put in much more sweat than me, so we more or less get what we deserve. In a way, it is for lack of a true dream, the sort that can be actively pursued as an end unto itself. Oh, there is always dumping effort into something one does not particularly like, just to earn a living (and probably somewhat more), and that's all and well also. Or perhaps let's just cut it down to two words - I'm lazy. Then again, oftentimes I'm not exactly slothful either. Dream on, shall we? Books Recently borrowed a bunch of these from the libraries (they've doubled the borrowing quota for the holidays) for these quiet nights, and I thought I might as well give a brief overview of the first batch:
Next: Ho Ho Ho
roastbird said... Let me explain your poorer than expected grades. It is due to the current global recession, which has 2 effects. First, the reduction in your lifetime wealth leads to both a decrease in consumption and, more importantly, a decrease in (education) investment. Second, the global recession has led to inflation and lower real interest rates. This leads you to substitute investing (in education) for future consumption with current consumption. As you have already noted, decreasing your effort, the amount of education investment, will lower your grades.
