Hi imaginary readers!! :)

I went to school today after my friends told me that our grade for our TFN subject was already submitted by our professor who happen to be our dean. :) With regards to my performance in TFN, I can say that i really tried hard thinking of what to say during discussion period though i do not know anything or have read in advance the topic to be discussed. This is my way of coping to the demand since one of the basis of our grade is class participation. There were times that i shut myself from speaking but i see to it that i participate the next time. Anyway, that is the only thing remarkable of me in TFN, aside from this... I really suck in our midterm and final exam, emphasis on how gullible i am not to study before the midterm exam and answering the essay questions base on stock knowledge which i cannot organize during the test proper. I often avoid using specific and technical terms for me not to commit technical errors. So basically, my ideas were in general terms... if you only read how many times i wrote flowery words just to lengthen my answer.. or how many times i ran around the bush cause maybe i might hit the correct answer along the way... LOL. I did study for our final exams... but i crammed... I took the exam after 24 hours of being awake.... with no chance to rest my eyes... See how a crammer i am?? LOL... I also had 3 absences in my TFN class, 1 was when i used the time to study for my statistics exam that will transpire the following day... Knowing my crucial status... I did do well on my requirements... From the content of my reaction papers of 10 different theorists, up to how i presented it.... i book bound my output even if it was not required. I also did the same with my report output, i was not able to report in front of class cause i was part of the last reporters and the semester ended already, so all the reporters were not able to talk in front of class. People say that the ones who were not able to report will be given lower marks. To avoid this, i really did my best to create a very good written output that even if i was not able to report in front of class, our professor can conclude that i prepared hard for my scheduled report. We were told to submit our output via email, but i did print my output, book bound it, created a sample handout, and burned a softcopy of my powerpoint, this is to testify that i am ready for the battle (honestly i am not!).



After everything, I guess the hardwork i have invested for TFN was paid off well. Though I did not get a higher mark... but the grade i have prayed to God was the one given to me, and i feel really happy cause I know I initially was not serious about it and i was able to pull myself back again. :) It is really nice when our hardwork is rewarded... ^___^ Thanks God!
