this sem has been the worst kind. i was a part time student and full time everything else! i definitely worked much harder back in sem1. thinking back, i think i mugged harder than anyone else (i know all my beowulf, chaucer, faerie queene so well) but i didn't seemed to get the grades i wanted me to get. this sem was so different.


different not because i did not turn up my lectures/tutorials (so wrong you shouldn't know this), not because i was so busy with tuitions/church/long-term investment/cca and of course, not because i was such a lousy student; it was because i saw God at work this sem. i saw it so straight in my face i simply can't claim any credits for myself.

assignments' grades were God's way of showing Himself! i did well for most of my assignments that i found myself almost guilty of getting a grade i don't deserve (this is the most fundamental of grace, isn't it?). my exams were manageable despite my complete lack of time to study! no matter how difficult the exam, i could experience the peace knowing that que sera sera, God is in control!

well, i may say all these but still end up with a GPA 2.2 at the end of the day. but hey, i've tasted the sweetness of Grace and found God in my studies. and it will be this that will stay with me for the next 4 years of my undergraduate studies in ntu (yeah, the GPA will kind of stay with me too, but it doesn't matter in this blog entry). God is good, all the time!
