History repeated itself again today.
I'm a very careless person in doing everything. But I don't really care about it if it doesn't bring any trouble to me. What I care most since young is my carelessness in writing exam. When I was back home, there was mum to remind me to be careful and watchful in answering the exam questions before I left for school. But now, I'm away from home, and I don't really tell mum when is my test or quiz unless it is final exam, and I know I have to learn to be independent, how could I always depend on my mum to be my reminder.
I learnt a big lesson last sem and I'm slowly correcting it, and bring myself to the right path again. But somehow, things can't just get right. Last Wednesday, I had two quizzes and to my horror and disappointment, I again committed something I shouldn't commit. Carelessness, the name of it! Econs quiz was fairly easy, but somehow I didn't score full marks, I'm not grumbling or putting too high expectation on myself, but I should definitely score full in this easy quiz. There was a question about decrease in freight and asking us to analyse on demand-supply and to determine the new equilibrium prices and quantity. And somehow I didn't know why I saw or perceived "a decrease in freight" as "a decrease in price of freight"; this led me to have a totally different analysis on it. And needless to say, I get it wrong!
Right after the Econs quiz was Probability quiz. I would say it was easy and the marks were just freebies to us! But I screwed it terribly!!! I admit it was tedious and needed much focus when extracting the data, etc. And, like an innocent child, I was trapped in this. There were 6 small parts in the first questions, to make things worst, I extracted the data wrongly for a few parts of it. And my tutor was so strict and merciless to give me marks for parts that I just extracted one datum wrongly. I don't blame him, as I take this as my lesson. I know I don't deserve to get marks, I should be responsible for my own "attitude". For question one, I lost 8 marks out of 10. See how serious my carelessness is! If this was not the worst, flipping to the next page, it was a question about poker cards. And again, it was easy, seriously it was a freebie. For the probability of "Kings", I filled it as 13/52 instead of 4/52, and needless to say I got the whole question wrong, as the answer for second part was related to the first part. The only thing to my relief was the quiz contributed just 5% in the final.
Argh.... I must really be careful in all the following quizzes, tests and exams!!! If not, all the hard work and effort I put in will just be in a futile...
"A wise man never lets the history repeat itself." I'm DUMB!!!

Perhaps we should sleep more before exam to reduce our carelessness...We tend to do careless mistakes when our brain is tired...
Yea, I seriously agree!!!
