4th March 2011, Friday...., that fateful day, when the clock struck two, hundreds of familiar faces shuffled into the hall in synchrony, as if under the control of a higher authority; MOE in this case. The hall creaks and moans, threatening to collapse under the weight of the hoarde and more so, their high expectations. Results Day invariably falls on a Friday, and as always, it brightens up my face. The smile though, happened to be a faint one this time.

Sat through the routine principal talk prior to the release of the results. What ensued was an unprecedented collection of the result slip from my subject tutor, which proved to be a nerve wrecking experience. I do not want to go through that process ever again, if possible that is. Having said all these, my results aren't the royal flush of 'As' top students achieve or parents dream of. They are not exceptional this time; acceptable would be a better word for it. 'As' accompanied with some 'Bs', I gathered that such a result is sufficiently adequate and aptly rewards me for the effort I put in. Could have done better, but what done cannot be undone. Mistakes are sometimes the best memories; strongly etched in my mind, I won't forget this lesson.

For now, the countdown continues. Slight difference this time as I will not be counting down towards the end of A levels, but the end of my work stint in OG.
