Goal Setting

I know I haven't been updating my blog. I've been keeping an equally sporadic diary which I lug around in my schoolbag to make sure I write in it.
Anyway, today's class time was extended by twenty minutes because Mrs Ng wanted to show us the results of our seniors. The fact that so many of them (not really, but quite a few) had the exact same PSLE aggregate score as me coupled with the fact that so many of them fell short of expectations made me almost break out in cold sweat.
Mrs Ng said not to be stressed, but I'm really scared now.
And in the car my father was listening to this motivational CD saying that "if you write down your goals, the cybernetic goal-setting system in your brain will set you unerringly towards your goal" (not word for word).
So.
I AM AIMING FOR EIGHT A1s
actually at least L1R5 = 6 but we should aim big
I wish, wish, wish that I could aim higher. But I can't. I'm sorry.
I know that we're supposed to do better for Chinese, because we ARE Chinese. And I know that it would be a shame if we didn't do better for Chinese.
But I screwed it up. I never expected anything more from myself but the fact remains that I screwed it up.
I didn't get my A1, okay? And even though I never expected an A1 of myself, I didn't get it.
So that's it. Maybe I could even get an A1 for Higher Chinese. But who am I kidding?
I can't aim for nine A1s or ten A1s.
I can't reach for the skies.
But I could at least reach for the stars.
