Hols till July

i've recently completed my 1st yr undergraduate studies :) hooray!! time passed so fast.. a year ago, i was still a matric leaver doing nothing at home, waiting to enter uni... now i'm waiting for my final exam results... well, i'm still stuck here at UM 'cause i've to wait to check whether i'm on the viva voce list before i can go home.. viva voce, meaning an oral test to prove your knowledge, i suppose? it's a list of 2 categories: distinction category for those who've obtained an A (>70%) for a particular subject, and those who passed can get an A+ for that subject, if not, you still get your A; borderline category for those who've obtained a D (45-49%), if passed, you'll get a C and continue your studies in 2nd yr (or the following academic year), if failed, you'll be subjected to sit for a supplementary exam after attending 2 more months of lectures. If you pass the supplementary exam, you can continue in the following academic year. if not, you'll have to repeat the whole academic year...
i'm going for my viva voce session for Biochemistry this afternoon. it's not easy to get a distinction. i'll treat it as a chance to gain more experience as it's not that easy to get into the list... well, wish me good luck :)
i'm going home this Sunday
