skip

My female owner finally started studying for her examination next week. This is probably the first time that she has been so last minute in her preparation. What she lacks in terms of natural ability, she has always tried to make up for it by putting in extra effort to the point of diminishing returns. Meaning that the outcomes she get sometimes do not commensurate with the amount of effort/ sacrifice she puts in.

A very good example would be during her junior college days when she struggled with every single subject she took. Almost everyday, she studied with her then-boyfriend at fast food joints. She remembered times when she would prepare for a test the next day while he would be doing a tutorial that was long overdue. And he would end up doing well for the test while she barely passed.

Such is the difference between natural ability and man-made efforts.

Anyway, she received the results for her written assignments for the module she is studying for today. (These were the assignments which caused her a great deal of stress a few weeks ago, because the module is double-weighted). While she didn'd do too badly as compared to others in the class, she lost enough marks to disqualify herself for a "7". She also realised that even without going for the examination, she would get a "4" for the module and still maintain a GPA of above 5.5.

Ah, maybe she should just skip the examination and move on with life.
