progess report one

Ending my last post on the subject of marks, I forgot that I got my first progress report back (Term 1). Its not too bad... but not exactly what I hoped for either.

English Language: --------------- 75% --- 3.6
Higher Chinese Language: ------- 62% --- 2.8

Mathematics: ------------------- 62% --- 2.8
Physics: ------------------------- 70% --- 3.6

Biology: ------------------------- 77% --- 3.6


Other subjects:

If you total up the GPA, considering Maths is DOUBLE weightage...

... you get...

... *presses calculator*...

... 3.29.

Not bad, not good. But last year my total GPA was 3.34.

However there is hope. Chemistry is set to rise with the recent test having a solid 4.0. Chinese... ok lah no hope of improving, even maintaining will be exceptionally hard. Maths MUST DO BETTER (IT'S DOUBLE WEIGHTAGE!!! Physics and Bio are fine, BUT can be raised to a 4.0 each. English and SS are also fine. History must maintain this borderline 4.0.

So, basically, I must pull up Maths and Chem (forget Chinese, impossible). At least to a respectable 3.2 each.

And don't ask me how I got 80 for PE. I either bronze or fail NAPHA every year. It's just that this module was swimming/water polo.

And all my teacher comments basically say that...

I:

1. Am a serious learner (I am?)
2. Am a respectful pupil (that I know)
3. Pay attention in class (definitely more than most)

However, I also:

1. Need to be more assertive (ok, ya i do)
2. Read more Chinese books (... zuo meng)

I could have told myself that.
