Different country, different building, different people… same story every single time.
So now I genuinely can’t tell if paranormal stories are based on something real or if humans everywhere are just scared by the exact same things.
— a book that met your expectations
— a book that didn’t
— a book that completely exceeded them

I genuinely worked hard this year. I wasn't expecting a miracle but I was confident about crossing 90%. Seeing it fall short just feels... off. Like the effort didn't fully translate into marks.
Also I don't know if it's just me but the English paper checking felt really strict. Almost like unnecessary stinginess in marking answers that should've gotten more marks didn't. I ended up with 75 which honestly doesn't reflect how I usually perform in English.
I'm trying to be practical about it but right now it's a mix of "I know it's okay" and "I know I could've done better."
I recently went to this book market in CSMT which is close to Flora Fountain. Normally I buy books from Amazon. The books were inexpensive, and to my surprise they were of excellent quality with no missing pages and they almost felt like the original. I got two books from this place.
