5 Years :)

I was trembling when I was about to open my SIS account (online record of college students in PUP). Still praying while the page is loading, hoping I wouldn't see such unpleasant grades that would ruin my optimistic day. Optimism, I got this in reading the book "Tuesdays with Morrie." I bet you had read it already and picked a bunch of lessons from it.

Grades, grades, grades. I think this whole sem break is about worrying, waiting and praying for those holy grades. The truth is, fear slowly consumes me. I don't wanna be upset with my grades coz I know I've given my all. I don't want my parents and friends to be disappointed. More than that, I want to prove myself that I can finish what I started- I WANT TO GRADUATE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING ON TIME.

In front of the laptop, with my eyes wide open, I nervously waited for the only grade that I was afraid to know. It's the main subject that would predict my future, that can say if I can march in my black cloak and hat this coming May. And I saw no marks of Failing grades. Whoa!!! My heart jumped freely as the thought sinked in- I can graduate on time! My faith saved me! And I was happier to know that my friends passed the subject too!

Maybe you can't undersatnd why I'm feeling this way. I know it's kinda crazy but this is the reality of a civil engineering student's life. It's a difficult course but I accepted the consequences of my decision to choose this. This is the crucial part of my whole college life and I'm overwhelmed to know that I, we, can get through this.
