I have a serious problem

<p>I'm doing the IB diploma and as you all know I have been expecting a high score. But due to my infamous rule breaking behaviour, all the teachers that gave me incredibly low scores. D=</p>

<p>Anyways I have been doing well last year and have never got a 5 before. D=</p>

<p>This mid year report is just shameful... D= D=</p>

<p>Chinese A2 SL 5
English A1 HL 5 (Oh god...)
Mathematics HL 7
Chemistry SL 7
Geography SL 6
Physics HL 6 (I was one point away from a 7 D=)</p>

<p>Anyway, I'm applying for Physics and Mathematics and that sort of stuff. Will my 5's in languages really deter me?</p>

<p>Just to let you know my first report card was the same score 36. But in the following scores.</p>

<p>Chinese 4
English 7
Math 7
Chem 7
Geo 4
Phy 7</p>

<p>D=</p>

<p>The second report was the peak, at 38…</p>

<p>There is nothing you can do about the grades. The only thing you should do now is to fill it in the MYR, and should there be any special circumstance to be explained, explain it. Just one more day to go, so stop complaining and complete it.
From my angle, I can see that the grades are not that bad, compared to the previous grades. You seem to concern about perfectionism quite a bit, MrPanda.</p>

<p>Am I annoying anyone in anyway? If so, I apologize. Lol, you sound irritated… But yeah, in my standards, anything lower than a six is unacceptable…</p>

<p>I hope we’re cool. =)</p>

<p>Though they leave it your choice, I don’t think they would like to see something long if it’s irrelevant to your application. However if you’re sure that will relax them (entertainingly or intellectually), those who have long days reading and reading, then go for it. I’m not an expert, so I can’t tell you it’s right or wrong. You tell yourself.</p>

<p>? ?</p>

<p>Haha, I replied after reading your first post, then you deleted it and replaced with the one above. I read it again and just can’t help LOL :smiley:
Okay, back to the main point. It’s not that you’re annoying, it’s your worry-all-the-time-ness that is annoying. If you continue posting things like “OMG what should I do??? OMG I’m so screwed??? blah blah blah” while there are many people who are even worse, yet don’t complain a word, you should look at yourself and say “OMG I’m still safe”; and if it’s below your standard and “unacceptable”, then say “OMG I’m still alive” :smiley: (haha, I still want to laugh :smiley: :smiley: :D)</p>

<p>I know I know that’s what I was talking about. Come on. I know that but people are never satisfied with their status are they?</p>

9

<p>Ya sure :smiley: And they are still alive anyway :D</p>

10

<p>I just found out something.</p>

11

<p>What’s that?</p>

12

<p>The world is going to end in 2012.</p>

13

<p>Then I can still have the slightest chance to enjoy my last two years in the second best place in the world. (The best one is too easy to reach: my home :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>The whole thing is a lie then. Donald never intended to give us democratic elections did he? There won’t be no Mr. Smiths and Matrixes. No Digimon in the 27th century. Earth won’t be overwhelmed by monkeys. I won’t get a Driver’s License either. =0 Zomfg.</p>

15

<p>Everything promised to come true after 2012 may well be a plot. In particular, Donald really never intend to give us universal suffrage.</p>

<p>Dulce et decorum est
pro patria mori.</p>

17

<p>No it isn’t.</p>

18

<p>It depends, I’d say.</p>

19

<p>No, it’s an allusion. The verse that precedes this is: The old lie.</p>

<p>The full version:
In children ardent with high zest…
…
The old lie,
Dulce et decorum est,
Pro patria mori.</p>
