I didn't get it.
http://www.ibo.org

I missed it by one point.
ONE point.
The worst thing is, I got a 2/7 in math.
My highest category was a 6/7 in art.

Maybe nature and the universe is trying to tell me something. Maybe it is something along the lines of: "you SUCK in math. Become an artist."
I don't listen that well.
Now... I just don't know.

I was planning on double majoring in physics and mathematics at rensselaer polytechnic institute.

I've always been terrible in math. My scores have been consistently low, to the point where I thought I had some kind of learning impairment.

For a few seconds, I was numb. I cried a little. (less than five minutes, in my defense.) Only two people got the diploma. But what counts is that the four people I don't like, the top 4 in the class, didn't get it either! That made me laugh and feel better because they nearly gouged each other's eyes out to get a good grade. Had this been college, they probably would have slept with the professors.

I will not take the whole test again. It is not worth my time. I did the physical and mental best that I could.
It was two years of my life. It felt wasted.
But then, I wouldn't have met my friends.
We 11 full IB students went through a lot together. Sleepless nights, cramming sessions, even that unsuccessful boycott of a test in history. xD
I wouldn't have known about these people. I wouldn't have made these friends. Even the partial IB.

I don't know what to conclude, but I know I can't regret that.

I need sleep.
Driving school is draining me. It's remedial. >__<
As long as I get a 'diploma' from this... I really suck at driving... according to my mother.
