ang sama sama talaga ng loob ko. i just came from my litera1 class.. dreaded 7-hour break ko na.. but the bulk of things to do during this break (plus the online enrollment pa.. kaya nakatambay nako dito sa comp lab kasi pahirapan mamaya.. kapag enrollment week, comp lab slots sell out like pancakes) is the least of my worries.. i've told jen and drew about this already (to the both of you, sorry for my ranting... thanks for putting up with me) and they sympathize. pano ba naman, i was absent last tuesday morning kasi masama pakiramdam ko (seryoso.. i ain't the type who feigns sickness to skip school). it was supposed to be the deadline for all the papers (plot mappings, critiques, etc). i was seriously done with all the work that day pero di talaga ako makapasok kasi nga i wasn't feeling well. so i messaged my groupmates (irreg ako sa class na 'to.. wala talaga akong kilala nung first day) and told them to ask the prof if i could pass all the papers that afternoon instead. my groupmate replied tapos sabi daw ng prof namin na sa thursday (today) na lang ako magpasa. ayokong maging kampante, so i looked for our prof yesterday (wednesday) to confirm this. when i saw him, he told me he wouldn't accept any more papers. what?! at that time akala ko nagloloko lang siya (he has this unusual sense of humor) so i rode with it. tapos kanina nung class ayaw niya talaga tanggapin yung papers ko! all 12 or 13 papers! 0.0 na daw. i protested and told him that i had his consent nung tuesday through my groupmate. he said he remembered, but late is late. "sir, excused absence!! unlimited cuts and absences!!" after some more explaining, he finally accepted my papers but stated "kukunin ko pero 50 na lahat". i thought he was kidding kasi 60 (or 70) ata yung passing sa litera. but no, he got his pen and marked ALL my papers 50 (with matching encircle pa) in front of me. my groupmates were telling our prof to give me some consideration but he insisted... 50 50 50 50 until the last paper. for those of you who really know me, i kept my composure, but i was definitely and utterly crushed.

(forgive me for this next paragraph.. my ego would definitely be the one talking) i am fully aware that i am an over-achiever, but i do know my limits and i know how to accept my faults. but it's hard for me to swallow this. this term i'm only taking 12 units (all floating) and my goal was to get a GPA of 4.0. modesty aside, i was determined to achieve that and i was actually realizing that i might (stress on the might) finish this term with decent grades. my midterm grades are above 3.5 and so far i feel like i'm maintaining the grade... until today. wow. i could actually get a 0.0 in litera1. how sucky is that?! basta naiinis ako. come course card day and i see a grade lower than 3.0 for litera1 (hey, all my previous papers and quizzes were 4.0.. hindi masamang mangarap), i'd either be really really pissed like never before or... i don't really want to resort to this, but is grievance an appropriate option?

basta for now, i'm furious. nakakunot na noo ko hanggang matapos ang term. i hate the feeling. sana matapos na. i hope and pray that my prof would give some consideration. mabait naman siya actually. i guess this is one of his 'bad days' lang. please sir! sana totohanin niyo yung sinabi niyo na "4.0 dapat buong klase". basta course card day, humanda ka sakin.
