It's over...

This whole week has been a week full of suspense... Checking the UTP website was my daily routine...sometimes I even checked more than once. Every sms sent to me would excite me...being afraid that it would bring the news that our final exam results were out. And yet...I was anxious to see my results even though I feared I might not have done so well.

At first I prayed hard that I would get 3.9 something. But as time went by, I began to lose hope...what with all the nervousness and stuff...this time, I prayed I would at least get into the Dean's list.

I called the ESU to ask about the results...the guy at the other end of the line thought I was calling about my application after PMR or SPM. He started checking the name list...getting me all excited and nervous...only to find out that I had called the wrong number! I then called UTP's exam unit and inquired on the said subject. He told me the results would be out on Friday and simply refused to check mine for me til it was out. And so...began the loooongggg wait for the results. I never gave up checking the UTP website however. Which was fortunate as the announcement came out that it would be out on Thursday.

We were out on Thursday spending our last day with my brother in Queensbay, the new gigantic mall in Penang. The minute we reached home, I headed straight to the computer. To my dismay, I couldn't get into the website again. This time I called the exam unit again and requested for my results...trying to make my voice sound more serious in case he would refuse me again. Fortunately for me, he agreed to get me my results this time...but with the condition that he would not read me the details...only my GPA and CGPA.

I got 3.91.... Well...my prayer was answered! It's above 3.9 at least... Praise God! But at that time, I realized that deep down inside, I was hoping for more...and I was disappointed. At least I conducted myself more calmly now...though I have to admit that I had to force my tears back inside. ;P But it was definitely way better than my first semester. Hehe. Was at a camp in Terengganu that time. Cried so much over a GPA of 3.93... Can't remember it without a grin spreading across my face. I must have scared Angie out of her wits then! Now I've realized how very difficult it is to score in university.

Well...I must say that I am glad after all. It could have been much much worse. And I got an A for the subject I was most afraid for...Signals & Systems. However...what beats me is that I got a B+ for my favourite subject...microprocessor I!!! Dr Yap was the most interesting lecturer this semester. And yet, I did well for Numerical Methods...the subject with the most boring lecturer on earth...Dr Narahari! Seems like the most unpredictable things can happen!!! ;P
