For my first semester, I scored 3 Distinctions and 1 Credit:
Business Transactions Law: Distinction (83)Insurance Law: Distinction (78)International Commercial Arbitration: Distinction (75)Law of Business Enterprises: Credit (72)For a gal who just wanted to pass all her subjects initially, not sure why I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get Distinctions for all my subjects.
Like my mom said, since I have already tried my best, probably I should be satisfied with what I have achieved and not put too much pressure on myself.
My Mom was right (so was my Mentor), I was (in fact, currently I still am) pretty wound up for the whole of 2009, putting too much pressure to achieve the targets and goals that I had set for myself, to the point that I have turned into a 'dull Jill'.
When things didn't turn out the way that I expected, despair and disappointments set in. There had been so many occasions in the last 6 months that I literally broke down. My Mentor has always been my best 'shrink' whenever there was a 'melt-down' situation. For that, I was grateful to Alexander Graham Bell for the invention of telephone.
2009 has not been that a fantastic year for me but it's no doubt an eventful and adventurous one. I think I deserve a pat on my back for hanging on and surviving quite well on my own despite in foreign land.
More changes and challenges to come in 2010 and I told myself to face them bravely and shout:
'BRING IT ON !'
