YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
I've finally finished that blasted quantum physics term paper! It's bloody long at 4000 words and really unpolished, considering I usually revise my essays at least once before I hand them in. But I can't care less now, especially since I have S/U-ed this module.
And speaking of S/U, tell me again, why did I S/U this module? I guess it was because I initially found it incomprehensible and predicted that I wouldn't be able to churn out a coherent 4000 word-paper on quantum physics no matter how hard I racked my brains. But it turns out I got the paper topic I wanted (one week after I decided to take the plunge and S/U the module!!) and found the lecturer (yes, the lecturer, not just the marvellously lucid tutor) actually understandable! And although this paper isn't my magnum opus, it was still a massive effort and I don't think I would have done that badly...
Moreover, the first test was surprisingly well-done by my standards and the second, which I just sat for this afternoon, oh wait, it's past midnight already, anyway, that second test seemed easier than the first! There were fewer questions I was not so sure of, so despite the negative marking, I wrote down all my answers anyway.
So if I had more foresight, perhaps I should have S/U-ed the computational science module instead. I reasoned that math could be mastered by practicing but I guess I was outplayed by the computing segment of the course. And forgetting almost all of the math I learnt in secondary school and JC certainly did not help...
Oh well, no point grumbling. It seems I am destined to keep making these pathetic mistakes with my precious S/U options. Next time I say I want to S/U a module before my Honours' year, give me a good shake and tell me to snap out of it, ok?
