Rhetorical questions and other emo-ish banter

Ever had parents giving you $8K in preparation for you to do honours, and then watch that chance just slip through your hands after sitting for a final exam paper?

Just like that, my lecturer decided to screw all 6 of us during the final. Literally, a slaughterfest. For one, I don't think he actually did try out his own paper that he set. Too much math and calculations for so little marks. It didn't matter how well one was prepared for the paper, everyone was just stunned at what we were expected to accomplish within 2 hours.

"For such as small class, there's no need for a grade curve," everyone said. So what happens if all 6 fail the finals? Is there no reprieve?

I dunnoe... maybe something might happen that will pull up my grade for that module. Maybe, the lecturer would do something about everyone's grades.

I hope to do my honours year. Or maybe God has a different plan for me. Whatever it is, things don't look certain when I've barely completed half the paper.

It's amazing how uncertainty can kill the holiday mood too. Maybe, I should prepare to return the 8K to my parents, and start sending out resumes during the next upcoming job fair. Maybe.....
