Not happy. Got my English mark back. Results are poor (by my standards at least, I passed by a reasonable margin, but I digress). Teacher....was surprised, especially considering my previous English mark of 97.5%. I did not put enough detail put in (understatement of the year award goes to CriticAndProud) .

This really has me down in the dumps. Really, it's just a number on a page, and it's only worth as much as people say it is. However, since people say it is very important, I see it as such. I still have a couple of tasks still to do (pretty easy ones) to redeem myself, but I can only hope this isn't a trend. I know one mark does not a trend make, but the pessimistic side of me says I'm screwed.

If you bothered to read, thanks, I appreciate it.

Oi... c'mon now, lift that chin up. (((C&P))) You're absolutely right, one crappy mark does not a trend make. & now that you know there wasn't enough detail, you know how to fix that.
Now, are these Internals/final mark exams, or are they mock up ones that you get to add to later on in the year? (With the Externals?)

This task will go towards X amount of my final report, if that's yer gist.

Exams, yar... :biggrin2:
So... you can make it up with these others though?

Well, sort of. :D

This task thingy I did contributes some percentage to my semester mark. I have another English task thingy next term, which will contribute as well. Classwork is the rest.

When I say I can make it up, I mean in general, but yeah, I can sort of make up for this one.

I think high achievers are too hard on themselves when (on the very odd occasion) something goes wrong. Let yourself feel it a little bit, (this will help you on your next task... head down, ass up so to speak, shoulder to the grind.) but, most importantly, forgive yourself.
We all fook up sometimes, it's how we prove we're from this planet and not another.

Go eat something yummy, put on some good music, finish yer damned homework ;;D and then let that MoFo go... :)
:love:

Do not be so hard on yourself. If need be, question the teacher on exactly how much detail was expected and where was it lacking. Use this as a spring board to a better task next time. Learn from it, but do not allow it to control your future work. One grade does not a student make. Sending a ton of posit vibes your way. Onward and upward to all future tasks!

Sometimes we are just to hard on ourselves. At least its just one mark. You will do better.
