Snap back to reality


82.5% turns into a bitter end. The fact that a dramatic mistaken mark is not as bitter as the demolishing of self-confident that was finally built after 3 years of University study.

I was told I had 82.5% for my essay, I spent a week trying to believe this and trying to find a reason to explain this miracle. After the one-week nervous build-up, I started to believe in myself.
Miracle needs no explanations because miracle explains itself. There is no miracle.
A 60% is not the D-Day of my degree though (And it was considered to be a decent result in previous years of my study). It's just that I was strike by the loss of what I believe. And I always say destroying what an individual believe in is the Armageddon of the self.
I wasn't that terrible at all as I often see a bowl of genuine congee in Hong Kong more important than marks of exams. Nonetheless, I lost my grip for a few days.
