IB Results

So this is it... the labour of my previous one and a half years is captured in this screen which will be here for a long long time. It's all finally over. The fruits of staying up the whole night trying to finish assignments, trying to remember names silly things, labouring to write, and even worse, to cut down on 4000 words... this is it... the is what we have to show.

There are two sides to this results as I interpret it... the good and the bad.

The good part is that I got the results I expected, or the results which i thought i got. I have to be honest that this is a rather good score considering i did this whole bloody programme in one and a half years rather than the two everyone else had.

English A1 HL... I guess I couldnt disguise my inadequacies in english literature well enough. My standard has always been a 5, even as i was hoping for a 6, i guess i'm satisfied. two points lost.

Psychology SL... this i'll rant about... i guess that the only complaint which holds water is that we had a sucky (and i mean a horribly atrocious) psychology teacher. This explains how I got an A for my EE and yet only a 6 for my SL. another point lost.

EE... An A, wow... this is incredible considering that no one has got an A for a Psych EE in Uplands for the past few years. I was actually worried when i went through the copies of previous EE, they were all marked as C or D. I guess that Mr. Porter was a genius as well...

TOK... B, yikes...that's bad. OR is it not? I thought that my essay was good, and our presentation was given full marks... anyway, this and the EE are the components that leaves the most memories for me. So an A and B still gives me 3 bonus points, so I wont complain.

If that was good, then what can be BAD? I guess it's the fact that I made a correct choice which has been confirmed. Paradoxical? I'm actually talking about pursuing a career in medicine. A career? So with this 39 points without bonus points, Ihave surpassed the 36 point requirement set by RCSI. Which means that I have confirmed entry into RCSI/PMC, with no refunds on whatever previous payments I made (they only refundif you don't meet the mark). So I guess I'm OFF TO IRELAND. How can that be bad? It's because the next 15 years of my life has been sold to the Malaysian Government... 5 years of studies and 10 years of work..crap... anyway, will try to draw the good from evil... hehe... off to work now, my first day at the Diocesan Centre.
