There's Always A First Time For Everything

It's pretty late but I guess now would be the right time to make another entry in this blog of mine. I also noticed that the amount of views my blog has been getting has pretty much been increasing so I guess it's been gaining some publicity. :> Haha! Thanks guys!

Today, I went to UP to get my grades for the second seme
ster. I was already expecting to be getting below par grades in some of my subjects but of course I still kept high hopes for myself since I was hearing a few positive things from some of my classmates so I was expecting the same things for myself as well. I guess that's how I really am. First, I went off to check on my Arts and Humanities (AH) and Social Sciences and Philosophy (SSP) subjects since these were the subjects and grades that I was expecting myself to be pretty high in. I only got to see my standing and the grade for my Library Research paper for my recit in English 2. I was glad to see that my grades pretty good at this point. Next, I went to the other department in the same building to check my grades on my Philosophy 1 and Social Science 1 classes. The only class card I got was the one for SOSC1. And again, grades were pretty good! (Note: Some UP campuses still give out the final grades for students in "class cards". The only campus that I'm sure of which makes use of these class cards is UP Manila. These "cards" are sized at about 3x5 inches.)

Now, on to see my philo grade! I kept on looking and looking for the cubicle of my professors in the directory of the SSP department when I suddenly remembered that the Philosophy division is in the AH department! How ironic right? After finding my teach
er's cubicle, all I got to see was a wooden something on his little space which made it evident that he was not there.

So off I go to the Physical Science building which houses the departments of my hated subjects. Statistics 1 and Chemistry 15. I went to get my STAT grade first since it was the nearest department from where I was. Bottom line, I failed STAT1. Next, off I went to see my CHEM15 lab grade since my prof's room was at the same floor with th
e Institute of Statistics. Bottom line, I PASSED! I was so happy because I never really wanted to re-take that subject again. (No offense, Ma'am Jhal! That's if you're reading this. Haha!) The last grade I checked out was my CHEM15 lecture grade. Bottom line, I failed CHEM15 lecture.

Nevertheless, despite all the trials that I had during my second semester in UPLB, I still can certainly say that learned a lot. I cannot enumerate these lessons that I learned since I'm too sleepy already to recall them and you would have to experience these things for you guys to understand it. I guess that's how life really is and we have to learn from our mistakes and learn from the people around us.

Never stop learning and never stop having an open mind. Yet, always remember that too much of something is not really good anymore.

Until the next time.

It's okay. And I think failing is just normal. It is also good that you accept your mistakes wholeheartedly and you are trying to correct or improve these.


Cheer Up!

Everything happens for a purpose.

Like what teen-teen said, it's okay. Few failures won't really harm that much, right? Well, it will. But at the end of the day, those grades won't matter that much. Just continue your faith in Him and all will be well.

JUST SMILE.:)
