Aja Aja Fighting!

"In order to be considered for progression to level 2 of the degree programme at the University Of Sheffield, you must pass all Level One examinations at UniKL in the first sitting with an overall average of at least 55%. You must also obtain a recognised English Language qualification of TOEFL (paper) 600 or better, TOEFL (computer) 250 or better, or IELTS overall band 6.5 or better."

Those were the requirements needed for me to be accepted at the University Of Sheffield. Seems easy huh? We just need to obtain at least 55% average in both of our examinations at UniKL and get at least 6.5 for IELTS. Lucky for me, I have done IELTS before and my results was just enough in order for me to progress to the 2nd year at Sheffield. I just need to concentrate the second half of my studies here and hopefully i will be able to meet the requirements. I hope "the tragedy of one point missing" will not be happening again.

The result for my first examination has not yet been officially published. However, as what has been told by our coordinator, Mr. Bambang, I managed to obtain the first class honours! This delightful news was certainly unexpected for me. I didn't expect to get all A's for every subject that I took last semester. I mean, yeah, my expectations for mathematics was very high as the subject was relatively easier than pure mathematics. But not for every subjects. I am really thankful to God for this wonderful result.

However, past performance does not indicate your future performance. It does not mean that if my result for the first semester was good, the same thing will happen to my second semester's result. No. I need to put the same effort that I put during my first semester, maybe more, as this semester's subjects are tougher compare to the previous semester and more new terms are needed to be familiarised with. So wait for me guys. 5 more months to go.
