Knowing that this morning is the one of reckoning with the IBO’s servers, I decided to go to bed at 11:30 pm last night. Scribbling in my journal took longer than expected, however, and I hit the hay at 12:30 am, with the goal of waking up at 5:45 or so to check my results. Since I have the weirdest sleeping patterns in a 5-block radius, I woke up at 3:30, again at 4:45, and again at 5:15. Then I promptly overslept until about 7:15.
So I suppose this is when I wave goodbye to the IBO. Thank you for all the stress. Thank you for the cheap bistro that was English. Thank you for the Etincelle magazine in French. Thank you for all the random tangential discussions in History. Thank you for the riot that Mathematics HL was, balanced by the lethargy of Mathemtical Methods SL. Thank you for Physics class, where we were attracted to everyone in the room. Thank you for Chemistry, where Mercedes stars reigned supreme. Thank you for the even more random discussions in TOK.
I’ll get slaughtered for this… but these last few years were great. xD
Oh yeah, you were all wondering about results, weren’t you?
Okay, since I love comparing predictions and schtuff….
Subject [teacher predicted] [my predicted] **actual**
English A1 EE [A] [A] **B**
TOK [A] [A] **A**
English A1 HL [7] [6/7] **7**
French B HL [6] [5/6] **7**
History of the Americas [6] [5] **6** (She’s always right.)
Mathmematical Methods SL [6] [6] **7**
Chemistry SL [7] [6/7] **7**
Physics SL [7] [6] **7**
Bonus (from EE/TOK) [3] [3] **3**
For a grand total of 44. I can’t believe it. It’s a lot better than what I expected, given the amount of studying I did for some exams… (History springs to mind *cringe*) That, and the fact that I thought I had royally screwed up Physics Paper 2, English Paper 1, French Paper 2 (that was the “government slashing budget of scientific research” question), Math Paper 2, and History Paper 3. Evidently you do get pity marks xD
