i'm completely and utterly disgusted with my 214 presentation. i admit defeat lah. the A+ i got last semester was a complete fluke and it was probably because my tutor loved me.
seriously, i have no idea WTF is wrong with my presentation skills this semester.
i think it has something to do with the fact that i have an angmoh tutor, and my classmates are all pretty great presenters. so as always, today the moment i stepped up there, i drew a complete blank, panicked, and stumbled through about 1/4 of my presentation before managing to grab hold of myself and start presenting the way i'm supposed to be presenting.
thank god for the second half of the presentation which was still up to my expectations, if not i'd probably NOT be typing here. probably would have killed myself.
:(
yeah. you can probably see the impact of not doing a perfect presentation for 214 on me. i was sulking the entire day and i'm still sulky. hahaha. and friggin' great. the last marketing assignment got me a pretty A (vic says reading that assignment is like reading my blog. haha!) BUT thanks to bloody class participation, which i have absolutely no idea took such a major percentage. THIS HAPPENED:
now, does this make sense to you:
15%: B+, 7%: A-, 8%: A, 10%: A-, 10%: B-
HOW COME ONE B- CAN PULL MY OVERALL 50% COURSEWORK GRADE TO B+?!?!
and how was i to know class participation has such a great effect? like that i would have just uttered some rubbish just for the sake of those marks!
THANK YOU LAR. like that how to get A for consumer behaviour?! what am supposed to do? get A+ for the final paper to get A overall?
these are the two modules which take up the most AUs, and i have incredibly high expectations for marketing AND comm management. because i know these would be the only things that i'm good at, and YET, for some goddamn reason, i'm still NOT performing up to my expectations.
ARGHH.
okok. must be consoled by the fact that my assignments are probably still above average. now, just need to pray that there's moderation for coursework :)

i'm going to get A+ for the in-class writing test next week even if it KILLS ME. -snarls-
and yes, actually shuxian has given me motivation to mug hard! GIRL! A for emotions, TCM and consumer behaviour yes!?
(ie. screw research methods hahaha)
i'm REALLY off to study some Emotions now. ciao :)
