i just got a pass for my marketing assignment... really disappointed in it...
i know im not doing well but i also know i am underperforming...i should be doing way better than this but i cant seem to... im not doing badly... this is my second 'pass' grade since intro to media and comm...and tts cos my tutor hated me... ok tt was an excuse but well he did..he lowered my grades from a higher mark a couple of times....
so yeah..considering that i did farely well last sem thought i would at least maintain my form...i know i cant judge by just one assignment and the first one at that...and that the cohort generally did not do well for this essay...but i expected more from myself...
and its not that i do not know my work...i dunno why....i helped a fren with her essay..the same one and she's got a h1 for it... that's like the 2 extremes in terms of marks... sometimes the world is not fair huh... im not saying she's a bad worker/student or anything 'cos she is excellent and smart... just tt u know... stuff... i just wished i had done better...
and i really wanted to do well this sem... just dunno why im not doing as well as i know i could...sloppy work, laziness..stuff, too much tv and internet perhaps... like i am doing now when im supposed to be reading my psych... oh well...
just hoping my lab reports wont turn out as bad.. had a bad week with one of them but that shouldnt be an excuse... ok shd get back to readings in spite of this ugly loom over me now....

"One Art"
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
So many things seem filled with the intent
To be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost keys, the hour badlly spent
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owne, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
-Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
-Elizabeth Bishop
