"That time of the semester" doesn't have quite the same ring as "that time of the year" or "that time of the month". But it is that time of the semester... when provisional results are released.
My classmate kindly asked for my student number and offered to help me keep a lookout, but when she told me what I'd scored, I decided I had to see for myself. Just like how, in my undergraduate days, I called my college THREE TIMES to verify my final year results. In case, y'know, the person reading the results to me over the phone had accidentally read those of the candidate listed above or below me. It isn't wildly beyond the realm of possibility, after all!
So I traipsed over to the university today during my lunch break. Lo and behold, my classmate's eyes had not deceived her!
- Research Methodology: A-
Critical Discourse Analysis: A
*blinks* I distinctly remember walking out of the exam hall after the Research Methodology paper and telling friends, "I'll probably pass, but most likely won't score."
So much for predictions! *super silly grin*

So there's another reason to come over to Paddington's this Saturday - not just to celebrate TGIO but your exam results, too.
Congrajulashuns!

Wow! Yay! I'd like to study Research Methodology, but not before doing Statistics. :(

Hi Irene,
Glad to meet you. I am from Sitiawan too and was a lawyer. Please drop by my blog www.LawEddie.com

Hey Irene,
You should have told me about your results!!! Still you got your Paddingtons so I suppose that accounts for something.
On a separate topic, I know a person who was given a printed results sheet and then was sent mail like two days later rescinding it...so yes, reading the wrong results off the roster is not outside the realms of possibility.

That sort of happened to me, I was worried that I wouldn't get over 70, and I ended up with a 79.9.
So yay congratulations for you
