8.30pm - went to sleep because of my daily "afternoon" nap

So all in all, how long did I spend on my genetics? Quite long right?

1.30 am - Another attempt to read my genetics. For 2 hours, alternating every 5 minutes with my "All about Eve" series.
3.00am - Went to sleep
9.30 am - Cooked breakfast + Browse through internet + Lepak
10.30am - Real attempt to start reading Genetics
11.30am - Alternate with watching my series
12.30 pm - Realised not enough time to finish studying before test.
1.00pm - Realised one of the presentations could not be downloaded, which is of course a very important topic.
1.30 pm - Went for my test.
4.00 pm - Results of test were announced. I FAILED.
I guess, it's really "padan muka". I mean, now that I think of it and counted, I actually barely studied for 5 hours. Lol!! And this is also partly because I was too overconfident. I was too confident that Genetics wouldn't be tough so I didn't care much about it.
When I was doing my test, I knew I was going to fail because I really didn't know how to answer as one of the "big" questions was about the topic which the presentation I could not download. And then there's this another question which involved another topic which I overlooked because I thought it's too easy. Stupid me!! Too snobbish that's why I failed.
Honestly, when the teacher announced my name that I need to retake the test next week, I was so ashamed as I was the only one of the few who failed. I mean, the test, I must say was super easy IF got study properly, as in at least a day not less than 5 hours. So ashamed of myself. Of course, I learnt my lesson of being overconfident will actually kill oneself. Lol!!!
As I pondered on my situation along the way to the bank, I realised I had been neglecting the values which Jesus taught us, that is to be humble. In my process of studying, I realised I slowly forget my values and straying further and further from God.
I really pray that I will not do the same mistake again.
