I scored 8.39 GPA, my lowest ever! This semester subjects involved a lot of memorising and writing loads and loads of pages. Unfortunately for me, I am miserably poor at memorising stuff. I can write pages and pages of stories, but even that is inhibited by my small handwriting due to which I write in 1 page what my friends write in 2-3 pages. So memory-wise and pages-wise I had a severe handicap. Also I didn&#8217;t do my internal tests properly which resulted in poor internal marks which virtually ruled out scoring above 90.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, my highest internal mark was in &#8216;Numerical Methods&#8217; subject at 25\/30 which tells a big story in itself. The subject was one of the enjoyable ones in the semester and we had our beloved Dean who taught us so wonderfully that we didn&#8217;t realise the semester ended and the course for that subject was over. Hats off to the great man!<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t do the exams well as my preparations weren&#8217;t there at all. I am happy and relieved that I didn&#8217;t fail in any of the subjects which would have been a big indelible blot that would have affected my life totally in all possible ways. Even in the last semester, I had noticed the beginning of the downfall but I didn&#8217;t do anything about it. Even in things that were in my control, I went astray and out of control and as a result, the results are there for all to see.<\/p>\n<p>I am getting more and more interested in the real learning rather than what &amp; how I learn in college courses. Being a server administrator in my college helps me learn a lot of wonderful things than the things which I can&#8217;t memorize from the book and reproduce verbatim in the exam.<\/p>\n<p>All this apart, I have to pick myself up from the free fall I am in and score some very good marks to satisfy myself and all my near dear ones and of course for a better career.<br \/>\nLuckily for me, my CGPA has not gone below 9 and I am glad about it as probably this is the CGPA which I have to enter in my resume when I face placement interviews in this semester and immediately after this semester hopefully.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100\" title=\"chart\" src=\"\/\/www.lguruprasad.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/chart1.jpg\" alt=\"chart\" width=\"291\" height=\"240\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year has been so tortuous for me with regards to academics and the trend clearly reflected in my results of the 6th semester exams.
