Despite the bad feeling, feeling really stupid today because I didn't really follow the lessons; I was happy today (:
Okay except for the part where Elly and I were kind of annoyed. So we retook the BNW quiz for the third time and well since I only read the book once and was too lazy to reread it; obviously I failed again. And yes, I acknowledge that this was my own fault. I got 1/20, of which the answer I guessed. However, I, along with Elly, Edwin, Jason and Sirhan, did not cheat at all. Result? We all got below 5. Thus, we were punished outside of class. But yes, as Elly says, we did not corrupt our own integrity. I don't understand that how some others could defy their guilt and risk Miss Soh's disappointment again after the first round of cheating. They explained the rationale of setting the quizzes to us; and perhaps in some ways, the quiz is way too difficult. But think about it again, the teachers would want us in their lessons and everything was done for our own good. I mean, come on, if you don't know your text well; how can you analyse it properly? Whatever it is, if you got away with cheating and get to sit in for the tutorials, good for you. Guilt will bite you and you will get your punishment. Everything will hit you back twofold. Sure, initially I felt very indignant about the whole matter because I don't think it's fair at all. But I'm speechless to see this happening again after the first round. Like Othello, there's no repentance, how is there redemption. Search your conscience. This is highly bleak and disappointing.
On a lighter note, mini birthday celebration for hwee today! HAPPY HAPPY EIGHTEENTH (:
