[edit: 9 march 2009] Can't help myself, results-getting is a momentuous occasion. And for those who were wondering, blog is closed because I have nothing to write (after this)!
Results! Intense worry: check. Tear ducts in working order: check. Friends for support: check. All the ingredients for a perfect results day :P My results.. have left me greatly humbled. How do I explain this.. If I had gotten ABBC (as per my dream), I would've been mildly satisfied, knowing that's what I deserve. What I got however, shocked me, because I couldn't have gotten those results on my own, no way. Miracles do happen, and this, a timely one, reminded me just how feeble I am on my own. I know I don't deserve these results, and for me that just bursts of the goodness of God. It's a delectable taste of eternity, and I'm so grateful for it. Further proof to follow:
TEN REASONS WHY I DON'T DESERVE.
1. Got facebook 2 weeks before the A's.
2. Watched Michael Phelps during prelims.
3. Generally did not study properly for any tests or exams.
4. Ponned school. Record stands at 2 consecutive weeks.
5. Was late practically everyday. They ran out of cwo sessions for me to serve my time. (Okay, in the second half of IP4 I consciously made an effort to change for the better)
6. Have always been getting crap results (as appropriate).
7. Had to see school counsellor many times to deal with personal issues.
8. Did not study.
9. Did not study.
10. Did not study.
Yeah you get the idea.
ONLY REASON I RECEIVED.
God's grace.
For stopping me from cutting deeper, from getting myself suspended, from quitting school.
So yeah basically I'm really really thankful for this reminder :) It gives me confidence and renews my faith that God has a beautiful plan for my life, and for the lives of all who love Him. It's not just good grades, because God can use even bad grades and turn them into something good. It could be a different path from what you had originally envisioned for yourself, but rest assured, God's plan is perfect.
Yay! Omg huge phase of life is over. Cue lost-ness and uncertainty.. So glad I have faith family and friends to keep my world together! [/edit]
I pronounce this blog closed.
Just FYI, I am enjoying my work very much as an intern at our nation's jolly newspaper service.
