Definition of Pessimism: from the Latin pessimus (worst), is the decision to evaluate, perceive and view life in a generally negative light.

Pessimist: someone who practices that.

I don't deny that im a pessimist. But what's so bad abt that? In fact being pessimistic helps you think abt the worst senario that is going to happen and this makes you mentally prepared for the worst all the time. It ensures that you will stay calm even in the most desperate situations, enable you to get a grip on yourself.

I have been telling myself that i will 100% fail the oral part of the EPT ever since i stepped out of the examination hall. And my mum was like so sick and tired of me saying that all the while.

Just received the result via post: As expected, I failed the oral. Though disappointed, i wasn't crushed. And do you noe the consequences of not clearing the EPT, both the oral and written?
(Yep i passed the written)

Well i nid to pass both to be admitted into NIE. And right now it seems like i might have to wait till next year to be admitted.

Cos i have to clear both and though i can go for re-test for the oral section only, the sch sem starts this 23 jul and the next test is in 4 aug!!

I am planning to go to NAFA for the music teaching course if that's the case. And then i'll go into NIE to get a degree after that.

Alternatively, i'll just continue working for another year so i'll be tons richer. (See i got it all map out right after the oral test)

So who says pessimism isn't a good thing?
