It came out to be that 80 marks on the 1st exam do not qualify as a truly 'well done' event as I asked several distinction-hopefuls about their scores. A French quant scored 99 out of 100 -- bloody hell. A Hong Kong graduate got 90+. Even an English mate, from a maths background, got 85. Of course the sampling pool is not big and is strongly preferential, but it says the fact that there are geniuses in this field while I am not yet one.
The 2nd exam was forced to be extended for another two weeks. Conflicts between PhD and CQF are causing more headache. Plus other incidents.
Have picked up playing basketball though, as when you fail to impress yourself on talent, you can (sort of) compensate by doing some sweaty sports.
