I haven't had a good sleep for the past few weeks. I've been very busy with plates and other stuffs for our finals. I can literally feel the work load. It's overflowing.. and I can't seem to handle it anymore.
I feel sick.
I feel down.
I feel like I'm gonna die. (seriously.)
So this is the life of a junior college student. It ain't easy and it ain't fun.
When I was in my freshman and sophomore year, I used to party every week. Here and there. But I still managed to keep my grades high. I don't have any failing marks in my record. In short, I did good.
I'm in my junior year now and one more year to go, I'll be graduating. But my hopes of graduating with flying colors is slowly fading away..
Just 2 weeks ago, we had our Advertising Practice Defense with Prof. Aries Estrella. We were asked to make an Advertising Campaign for Coca Cola and my group was the first one to present.
After the presentation, here comes the unexpected..
Prof. Estrella: Let me ask you.. if you see these ads or listen to this radio ad, do you see yourselves in it? Do you see yourselves as losers?! Because it is clearly stated here, COKE IS FOR LOSERS!
You already know your grade. Sit down.
OMFG. We just got a whopping grade of 70% in our Major Presentation. And up until now, I still can't believe it. We worked hard for it but all our efforts didn't pay off. Wtf.
Last wednesday, we had our final exam for Art Appreciation. My groupmates stayed here in the apartment the day before our final exam to have a group study and to finish our Advertising Productions final plate. Prof. Andaya gave us a 16-page reviewer that same day. We have to read 16 pages, all in one night for crying out loud. And we're not even halfway our Advertising Productions plate. We browsed the reviewer but we focused more on the history not on Photography because Prof. Andaya usually discuss the history more.
Wednesday. Final exam day for Art Appreciation. 60 items. We all thought it would be a Multiple Choice. But no. We were wrong. It was an Identification kind of exam.. and it focused more on Photography! Bullsh*t! Right then and there, I know I would fail that exam.
And guess what? I did fail. Many of us did. Only 8 people passed. What a shame. I went out of the classroom shocked. I felt nervous because I am 100% sure that I would get a grade of 5 in my Art Appreciation final grade.
Later that day, Prof. Andaya announced that half of our class would get a failing grade in Art Appreciation. Yes, I am one of them. What a surpirse. My instinct was right.
My clean record has now one failing mark. Wow.
If it is THIS hard now, what more in my senior year?
Can somebody give me a hug? That's what I need now more than anything else. *sniff*
