[busy signaL]
[Friday, July 08, 2005]
took my advandb midterms yesterday. when the coverage is a set of seven powerpoint presentations, each with between 80 and 100 slides, you know you're in deep shit. adding to the fact that i was already expecting a line-of-three score, it suddenly hit me about thirty minutes after leaving the test venue that i'd neglected to write my name on the questionaire - a move tantamount to a deduction of 30 points.
thirty full points. that means that i could've possibly ended up with a negative score. peachy. just peachy.
i was so stressed out by the turn of events that i had a dream about our advandb professor [she who shall not be named]. let's call her "death prophet" for narration's sake:
the class, composed of my friends from both gokongwei and miguel, were being handled by the aforementioned "death prophet". she had written the textbook we were using, which, if i recall correctly, was on chemical engineering. it would make sense though, since neither my gox nor my cla friends are taking said subject, thus rendering it an equally new experience for both parties. anyway, "death prophet" was referring to a certain page in the book which spoke of her recent achievements as a scientist. she then dismissed the gokongwei group early, leaving the cla group [myself included] to do extra work, since we were the black sheep group or something.
disjoint and yet quite revealing, actually. some of you may be familiar with the issues that lead to this farce.
well, the results are just in, and i got 80 points, not counting deductions. i heard from renz that she's not pushing through with them anyway, but even if she did, i'd still get 50 points, which albeit a failing grade, is a whole lot better than a line-of-one score.
the funny thing is, now that i'm left with a mediocre score, i half-wish that i'd failed miserably and thus merited reason to rant about "death prophet" some more.
tear.
