Up again
Dearest Wan,The roller-coaster ride continues!I just got me results for International Criminal Law ("ICL"). I was preparing meself for the worst - and was praying for at least a pass. I was thinking that in light of wat has happened yesterday, save for a fail, nothing would get me down any further. Even a fail would pale in comparison wif wat i went thru last nite!!!!Some background on the ICL exam - there were 4 questions to choose from. Geof, our lecturer warned us about one question. he said that it was unintentional but after the exam was approved and prepared, he re-read the question and realised that it was very dangerous - an oversight would cause the whole answer to collapse. As he always say "Don't go near there!!!!"Of course, he did say that it would be an opportunity for us to prove our excellence!The problem was that i forgot which question it was!!!!!!! It was either 3 or 4. And we had to choose to do either 3 or 4!I decided to forget about his warning and just do whichever question i was comfy wif. I chose 4 - it appeared to be less complicated as it dealt mainly wif one topic while Q3 had elements from many different topics in it.Yeah, you shud guess it by now - the question that geof warned us about was Q4!!!! i found that out too late.I found it really tough. It looked easy cuz the question was short, compared to the long narrative for Q3. But tt's the problem - short questions does not give adequate info.But it was too late to start doing the other one.Me coursemates were afraid for me when i told them i did Q4!!!!!Obviously, u shud also be able to guess by now that i did pretty well for it. I GOT A DISTINCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)PRAISE GOD!I did manage to prove my quality! ;-)Oh, i spent so much time on Q4 that me other question (Q1) was neglected. Still, not too bad - a B minus. Geof is pretty generous when it comes to marks. He commented that for Q1, there was a "wholly inadequate depth of analysis". i spent too much time on Q4 and used up too much words - the total for both essays could not amount to more than 6k words. More than half was used on Q4.So overall, a B plus for ICL.But an A for Q4!!!!! so happy! So so happy!I would be telling her about it - in fact, i thought of her again, first.But somehow, ... i dun know. I guess it's hard for me to share me joy wif someone whose heart is wif someone else?But why am i telling you, then??????i needed to tell someone! :-)Take care. God bless.
