Ever since I stepped into this British land, I start realizing it although without expecting it.
It is easy, just talk a out study.
Cardiff University's way of calculating the degree marks: ONLY take those exam which is set by Cardiff Uni is taken into account. In other words, foe people like me who is doing 2+1 transfer program, only our final year is taken into account. And we do not have midterm to help us, which is mean, our WHOLE degree result is solely depends on the final and only exam we have in the end of the term in our final year in Cardiff. Like me, I am taking 4 modules, my whole LLB result is ONLY depend on the 4 days exam and 3 hour each. 12 hours decide my LLB study for 3 years.
People from other Uni (who is doing 2+1 transfer program I am talking about) can enjoy and play through their whole yer and can easily achieve 2:1, because they have taken their 2nd year(which supposedly to be helping because Brickfields Asia College gave all the 100% accurate tips in their internal exam), some even have midterm to help.
But us, nothing at all. Zero. All on your final and only exam. We gotta work damn hard for the bloody 2:1, some even can't get it.
Okay, if you say probably Cardiff Uni is a little bit higher ranked or a bit reputed or well known than others, fine, maybe it is a way to comfort ourselves.
Then let's talk about within Cardiff University, the difference between those who are doing 1+2 and 2+1. Okay, we got no midterm in Cardiff Uni, so it's fair for both 1+2 and 2+1.
But,
1+2, 2 years in Cardiff, 2nd year obviously playing the helping role. Or at least they do not have to stress that much in their 3rd year because 2 years of result of them will be taken into account.
2+1, which is like me, 1 year in Cardiff, only last and final exam, and we gotta work damn hard under effing great stress.
At the end, maybe both of us got 2:1.
But, how the hell do I suppose to prove when go for an interview?
Both of us, same Uni, same degree classification, and it will not be stated on our certificate that we are doing 1+2 or 2+1.
So, we work damn hard and they can relax as 2nd year is taken into account and obviously easier for them to get better result, and we end up the same.
Is that trying to tell me, money is damn effing important. If I can afford myself to come here for 2 years, I do not have to suffer like this for the stress.(although compared to all others 2+1 students, my effort is not really considered as an effort.LOL.
See, the world isn't fair afterall.
For instance, if you have money, many things will be easier.
'The person who believe the world is fair is an IDIOT.'
I think eventually I will grow 'more evil and evil'. LOL.
Well, as movies always show, those villains are villains because they were not treated in a way they supposed to be treated during their young age, i.e, Magneto grows evil although he has the same fate as Professor X because what they faced weren't the same.
Joker x Batman, Sandman x Spiderman etc.
Okay, stop ranting I know.
At least I am lucky, I know someone is watching over me.
Despite all the unfairness I have faced and facing(Credit Transferred Cert for BPTC, false declaration of English etc), at least I know the 'someone' will still let me have what I need to in the critical moment.
Really thank YOU.
No matter what happens, I know I will grow through it.
At least I did not work as hard as others(always the last minute happy-go-lucky me in study) and me and they are getting the same result, maybe they should be ranting or in the better position to rant.
Maybe there are some other reasons playing a role, thank YOU for everything, anything.
Appreciate what I have.
Make the best out of everything what I have.
Make use of it.

The strongest will survive.
