I'm gonna went berserk if I don't write these things down...

Uh oh...seems to me that I'm gonna have my first taste of a failing grade in my whole student life.

Yes, there's always a FIRST TIME. But I didn't really expect it to come at this VERY CRUCIAL time.

You see, I'm already in my senior year. And if I fail ANY of my subjects, well, I'm not gonna graduate this May, or next October, but on May 2008. Bummer.

Why the hell am I so assuming that I will flunk? Well, here's the thing.

I've had a couple of failing marks in my AdVac Subject, especially in the Prelims period. And my unadjusted prelim grade is 58. Hehe. I've managed to pass all the succeeding quizzes (68, 73 and that heart-breaking but still heart-warming 65...haha...the quiz was OK but I committed a lot of silly mistakes because I wasn't able to review for that quiz the night before. I slept at around 11 pm and actually planned to wake up at around 3 am but the hell, I already woke up at 7:30 am... ) but still, the scores aren't enough to lift my horrible grades up. The final exam? Well, it was answerable...if you're given enough time to solve it. The proctor was already yelling "10 minutes more to go" and I haven't solved the longest problem in the exam yet. The result? Well, dissapointing mistakes in solving consolidated patents & buildings, an overlooked "sold to outsiders" reminder, a dividend income not agreeing with the dividends declared, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah.

When I computed for the grade that I'm supposed to get in the final exam to still get a 3 in my transcript, (prudence: I lowered my prelim grade to 55 and then gave myself only 6.5 in class standing) I discovered that I had to get an 83 in the exam. Whoa, when I pondered on my answers I already got 25 lost points...and the highest that I can get is a 75.

Another is MS. It's not really my problem subject because I have a high prelim grade in that subject and when I computed for the score that I have to get on the final exam, my computations said that I only needed 45 to pass. But hey, I did the worst job in answering that exam. Darn. I was lost in the Absorption-Direct-Throughput Costing thing and already got 10 answers wrong. 3 points each, so that makes it 30 points. And what's scaring me most is that I might have committed a mistake in transferring my answers in the theories part, because some shithead arrived late for the exam and required us to pass the papers at 4 pm sharp. Darn, he's 15 minutes late! And knowing my professor, she's not, in any way, willing to forgive and let those "on close call" pass unless it's 65 sharp. Getting a 64.9 won't mean a 3 in your transcript but a 5.

Oh GOD, I'm dead meat!
