So.
Exam results have been posted today.
Finding out I failed two papers sucks.
One was expected the other not so much, organic chemistry is the tyranny of evil men like in the bible passage in Pulp Fiction from Ezekiel which Samuel L. Jackson's character repeats. A lot.
I may not be able to do chemistry this year because of said failed paper, Calculus was a filler subject and having failed it the whole year the fact that I most probably just scraped by is pleasantly surprisingly. However, with the others the irony fell into Biology, where, my allegedly "best" paper (Describe Genetic variation and change) I only got achieved and for the my worst Ecology and Cell structure I got Excellence.
The marking schedule for the idiotic system which is NCEA goes as follows...
A - achieved the standard
M - achieved the standard with merit
E - achieved the standard with excellence
N - not achieved
SNA - standard not attempted
ABS - absent from examination session
RNA - result not yet available
I think, to be perfectly honest I may be getting more dumb, it's possible.
It seems to be the pattern, those who were academically endowed did well in primary but those people try to cruise through high school and thus fail, appearing more dumb.
Haha.
Or maybe it means I'm lazy and procrastinate too much- both facts are true.
But a way to treat the news of exams is to think that this year is the year that we go hard, turn into super nerds and try hard as hell to pass really well. Just to get into uni, a similar institution to gain a piece of paper that employers in the "real" world seem to so obsessed with.
One last note. I am confused as to whether to be pleased or offended that Wolfman called me incorrigible.

I called you incorrigable for a reason!!!! i just don't remember what.
i think that getting dumber as we get older is true. for everyone. i reckon we are smartest when born. We make people flock to us, and we never tell them why or how we do it. Is that not the greatest intelligence of all?
Of course we are then robbed of said intelligence by the fools who communicate with us, so the older we get, the more we communicate, thus the dumber we become.
