The law of large numbers (LLN) is a theorem in probability that describes the long-term stability of the mean of a random variable. Given a random variable with a finite expected value, if its values are repeatedly sampled, as the number of these observations increases, the sample mean will tend to approach and stay close to the expected value (the average for the population).

Or in other terms...
The law of averages is a lay term used to express a belief that outcomes of a random event shall "even out" within a small sample. As invoked in everyday life, the "law" usually reflects bad statistics or wishful thinking rather than any mathematical principle. While there is a real theorem that a random variable will reflect its underlying probability over a very large sample, the law of averages typically assumes that unnatural short-term "balance" must occur.

Everyone has a bad day, or a bad 3 weeks. I had mine again (yes, again.).
Putting all the self pity aside, I think at least all of my weaknesses have been exposed. As one of my teachers says "it is only a rehearsal, and not really a true reflection of skill". Perhaps I have been at fault, for not preparing hard and smart enough. To be fair, I had a cold for 2 weeks. It is hard to focus with a cold. everytime you look down, mucus (and blood) comes out. The other 2 weeks were spent preparing for IOC. However, I did deserve what I got, and I have paid for it. Hopefully I won't get further consequences.
That being said, I believe my time will come, as the law of averages said so. I will be ensuring that when it happens, I will be prepared by working hard and smart enough.
Overall, I must say that everything is in God's hands. It's good that I made all my mistakes now, so I know where to improve on and so I'll be ready when the actual thing comes. God is great, whenever I fall down, He picks me up. I have made the jump before, and I can do it again, if that is His will.
Nonetheless, I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me along the way and I'm sorry for letting them down. I believe if I want it hard enough, God will grant me the desires of my heart if that be His will.
