Come get lucky today..!

I hope you remembered my ode to CTs sometime back.. it went something like this:

"my name is yj, i'm the best
i am so unlike the rest
they say my life is in a mess
just cos i haven't mugged for common tests"

And YL's lamenting that "Common tests destroy creative output." Shows that CTs reap you no benefits and its existence only proves to be a bane in your life.

After my one-day mugging programme for Chemistry (that lasted up till 2am NO JOKE okay) and still getting pwn3d the next day, I figured the truth about CTs. That it is indeed all about luck - and all you need for CTs is nothing but luck, luck and more luck.

Or you'd have to be some bloody genius, but then again research has shown that geniuses only take up 0.000001% (6 sf) of any population, so the chances is that YOU, currently reading this now, are probably not a genius. Oh and not to mention if you were really a genius, you wouldn't spend time reading the crap on this blog. Yes so the hypothesis is proven true.

But the thing is, like Animal Farm's "some animals are more equal than others", in CTs some luck are more equal than others. It's obvious that you can smoke your way through for certain subjects more than others, and smoke I did.

As the smoking ban was only put in place in 1st July 2006, the Saturday right after the CTs, I very narrowly escaped the fate of being unable to smoke. Not being a Biology student, I did not know the dangers of attempting to smoke through CTs but anyway that isn't the point.

The point is I did. Because I got back half the Econs paper today and despite not passing anything (not even take-home assignments, mind you) throughout the term I just topped the class this time. Now if you accuse me of bragging, YES I AM SO WHAT? I have the luck and you don't!! Hurhurhur!

But the important thing now is to find out where my luck came from.

And you know the thing about luck - when it's spread around, it really loses its effectiveness. So despite my title being "Come get lucky today", I'm not here to offer you advice on how to boost your luck. I don't like easy come easy go. I'm a selfish bugger and I only put such a title so you would be attracted to come and hear me brag.

Now that I'm done, good luck to you. =) and I'm off finding MY source of luck so I can reuse it for promos. And of course most importantly "A" levels.

Oh and by the way, if you wanted to know what I got back today.. it was the Econs case study. And if you'd think carefully, I did a post on that. You can refer to the model answers there, and even though I might be an idiot and refuse to tell you where to get the luck from, I'm not that selfish as to avoid sharing with you my answers.

When there's happiness, I like to share my joy with the world. It's dated Friday 30th June 2006 – go read it and get enlightened thank you. Or rather, thank me. =)
