Judgement Day - Part 2

Oh, bloody hell. (This, of course, in a british accent, because it's cooler that way.)

I have just checked my results...

English - 82/100 (Band 5)
Legal Studies - 76/100 (Band 4)
General Mathematics - 81/100 (Band 5)
Modern History - 74/100 (Band 4)
Spanish Continuers - 86/100 (Band 5)

Now, these ARE good results, and my mother seemed quite happy with them. But I'm not, am i? Not really true. I am happy about the results, and in a way they're better I dared to hope. But I'm also dissapointed.

Spanish I'm quite happy with (and surprised that it's my best subject). I expected to go well in Spanish, and this has greatly helped get my mum in the comfort zone, so nothing more to say about Spanish.

Legals and History are better than I expected. Much better. My teachers will be quite happy about this. I really thought I would get in the 60s, late 60s if lucky. I wanted to get into the 70s, but I never really thought I would! It's not like I was doing 70s at school... but I won't argue. This favors me, and I must be a fool to complain about something going better than I hoped.

English and Maths are good. 80s is always a good place to be. But, I expected more of those, specially English. I think I wrote my very best in the exam. Truly, I don't think I ever wrote as well in the exam than in any other occassion. However, this only proves my fatal mistake in the past two years:

I understimated the HSC, maybe more than I thought I did. And I'm lucky to have gone well in that case. Not many people 'survive' after they have understimated their opponents, after all.

Now I must only wait for my UAI, tomorrow at 9am. At least I'm feeling better, no anxious anymore.
