The statement: "I wanna vomit blood"
I do hear it s0metimes from my mother when she was marking some papers. I guess marking the same terrible papers over and over again really "can vomit blood" after teaching so much but no fruitful results. Sorry teacher.. But think of our side too..
(my friends -JPA scholars) They might be smart but and they are humans too. I think if given a choice, they would like to score better marks for you. They need to score well to be able to go overseas. They too get heartaches when receive terrible marks. Besides, SAM is not only consist of one subject. There are another four subjects to be considered. They have to balance up their studies. Only able to study one at the time, the rest have to wait while we only have 24hours a day. (Opportunity cost and limited resources =p)
(As for me) Haha I am not a JPA scholar, I am not bright nor stupid either. I am just average. The reason i follow the JPA batch is because I do not want to wait for the next coming intake for SAM (Jan). That would be too long, and my brain will be rusty that time. I knew very well that I am not good in that subject but i want to know my capability in handling that subject. If I manage to handle it, probably i would know what course i want to study. (Yes i am still a lost cow who cant decide what to study) But I have to admit, i have not been fair to you. I havent been studying enough for that subject. Travelling to Inti back and forth is seriously killing me. I woke up 6am and reach home by 6 or 7pm. I am dead tired everytime i reach home. But then again, it can be used as an excuse.
If you really have the heart and determination to study, you will be able to find a way. Haha.. TRUE! I will just try my best okay..
Note: Doesnt mean when your mother is a lecturer, the offsprings are smart too. WRONG CONCEPT! My mum's forte is one of my weakest subjects.. so keep that in mind.
