It took me few days before I could update my blog and the one that I'll be posting here is also late. But then, I promised myself to post this whatever it takes. As we say, better late than never. So here we go.
It was last last week when our classes ended. It concluded with our last final exam which was a brain-draining one considering that scenario where you have to answer a 50 item exam in 2 hours. Sounds like an easy one huh?! But I dare you it isn't!! Most especially when there are no choices, it would totally freak you out and would leave your eyes all white. I'm serious! Thank God I was able to finish it with the allotted time. After the exam, my heart was tumbling with joy, it almost reach my throat. And I thought it would be reasonable for me to treat myself a satisfying lunch so me and my friends went to Greenwich to fill our rumbling stomach up. And then the most awaited... Tadaaaa! S.E.M.B.R.E.A.K.
Hearing the word makes my soul jump with its imaginary hands clapping with joy. I know, everybody's waiting for this to come. No more stressful days and sleepless nights. It's time to relax, to enjoy, to unwind. Far from the exhausting world of studying. But I couldn't enjoy my break yet, not after knowing my grades. I'm a scholar and it is a must to monitor my grades, whether I would still be a scholar next semester.
I couldn't sleep well every night thinking about my grades. Especially in Mathematics of Investment. Holy cow, that's the most mortifying subject I've been through so far. Worse than my Accounting subject. I failed all of my quizzes during the final period. I got 60/100, 40/100, 50/100. What the! Am I serious? Yes I'm unfortunately serious. That's why I was bothered because if I won't maintain an average of 1.75, I won't be a scholar anymore and I couldn't afford that to happen. Not now! Not... NEVER!!
10/20/12 Grades are already available online. Crap! This is it. I opened my account nervously. My heart's racing on my chest. When I was able to open my account, only the average grade was available, there are still no breakdown of grades. Whatever it is, I still wanna know. So this is the moment of truth. At first I tried to put my fingers on the monitor, trying to cover the numbers. And then slowly uncovering it. First number I saw was 1. Oh! Nice, I still have a chance. 50% hope : ON. Next number appeared to be 7. So it was 1.7. 99% hope : ON. And finally the last number. Would you believe it? It was 5. Oh my! 100% hope : RESTORED. This is awesome. Still I'm a Dean's Lister and a Scholar. No more, no less. Yey! So I could party now :"">
The next day, breakdown of grades were already available but I couldn't open my account yet because I'm not home. Me and my mom were on our way to Novaliches. I asked my friend to open my account for me and asked him to send me my grades. And there I saw my precious grades :)) I was screaming at the car and told my mom about the good news.
Lord thank you. This would be the best gift or whatever superlative I could use to describe it, either way, it is indescribable. For the fourth time, still I am what I want to be. Just by knowing that there are many people out there who are proud of what I have achieved is enough to inspire me to strive even more. I've been praying for this every day and every night whenever I pray the rosary and You never fail me Lord. Never.
I will not only try but I will definitely do my best for the next semesters to come in order to keep on track. I know it'll be harder but I know that with You by my side there's no such word as hard, impossible, hopeless and give-up.
Let's do this Lord.
