There was divine intervention after all! Albeit without the bright ray of light and the *T-LINGGGGGGG* sound, but still, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Yes, surprisingly enough, I did much better than I expected by a HUGE margin.
For starters, I thought, yes, thought, that I would fail my Geography but I didn't! I did completely bomb the paper so it's either I didn't actually do that badly or everyone else sucked. Kinda hoping that it's the former.
Also, the thing bout 60% failing english and all was all unfounded worrying. Got an A1 for english and I wouldn't have cared less if I failed the rest of the subjects. Okay, scrap that.
Was in school when we found out that our class did extremely well for English, 51% of our class got distinctions which comes down to 20 people. My fear of failing my English abruptedly ended upon hearing this and what took its place was, "Oh God, I pray that I got a distinction".
As the first few people went up to collect their results it dawned upon me that most of them were getting distinctions which meant that all 20 might run out before it hits index number 38, the 2nd last index number in class, which also happens to be mine. Unfortunately.
So the whole "die die die die die die die die" thing was on repeat in my head and beneath it all was a subtle "Oh God, I pray that I got a distinction". Which was also on repeat and so my head filled up with all the noise. Almost drowned myself I did.
And when it was my turn, the first thing I saw on the result slip was A1! Then I went "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Or at least I visualized myself doing it but it was all done internally, really.
DIGRESSION: Brooker's on The Tyra Bank's Show! She rocks. Both of them.
As for the other subjects, the same thing kind of applies. You know, the "Oh
tian,I bombed my test" but actually didn't do as bad as I thought.
One more thing: I strongly feel that God was really there for me. Sounds cliched but seriously, it's impossible that I get such grades given the kind of crap I was writing. If God didn't do something, I would dead by now. Literally.
Perhaps it's a kind reminder for me. Well, praise the Lord cause it's a KIND one. Imagine if it were the other way round. All the worry, all the
unfounded worry. Really, was dumb of me cause [cliched moment] if I had trusted God more then, you know, I wouldn't have worried so much. Guess it shows how little faith I have. Sigh.
Oh ye of little faith!
