We were told that the results would be available by October 30, 2007. My colleague called the school already, shes as excited as I am but was told its not yet available . Grrrrrrr … am anxious to know the result, if I pass or if I fail. Shit! It’d be so so embarassing if I fail … must mean am so so so so damn stupid. Where’d all the stuff from college? Stored somewhere? Wahehehe but am hoping the three of us … oh no make that 4 … would pass it’d be good to have a friendly face inside the classroom.

The Exam
Went to the school to take the entrance examination for Master in Education – Special Education Major in Mental Retardation, whew! that was long and so was the line of examinees. When I submitted my requirements, I was asked by the in charge to pay my examination fee at the accounting office. Being new to the school it seemed like a maze to me, had a hard time finding my way had to ask a couple of students where the accounting office is. When I finally reached the accounting office, it was close. Looked closely on the schedule posted and it says 1:00 PM to 3PM, looked at my phone and its 2:15PM, how come they’re close?
Then came Mr. Nice Guy to the rescue (ewww…) when he saw my dilemma, he came to my rescure (charot!!!) knocked on the window till a lady opened it and accepted my payment. He was cute (and edible) per wafa’s standards (w/c is by the way hard to reach) but he was loud and damn so chatty as if we’ve known each other since prep school. Duh! thanks for helping me but I certainly dont want you following me all the way back to the Grad. School’s office much more to the jeepney stop. Grrrr …. asked for my name told him its Celine, (was the first name that came to mind) and never bothered to ask for his.
Cute and all but all flesh and most likely no substance (accdg. to my standards that is), what irked me most was the fact that he’s so feeling close. Imagine walking me all the way through the jeepney stop. Halllllllllleeeeeerrrr. Anyways didnt say much so as not to appear an ingrate or rude but heck I was boiling inside. Nyways that was yesterday, today or shall I say earlier, I met Myka and Julius (was so thankful for this) inside the school on the way to the testing center. If I havent met them I would have been lost in the maze, the three of us sat on the same row.
I find them amusing, cutest couple I’ve met on the floor, just find it amazing that they share so much in common that they ended up going to school together and taking the same course together. Whew! when their undergrad courses were way too different. The exam came as a shock, had to dig the archives of my brain for nouns, adjective and adverbs. Heck! that was so so so many years ago … what a drain. ‘Twas then I realized that I’m dumber than I was a year ago. It was a 3 type examination, the first was all about IQ I think good for 40 minutes, second was about language and reading comprehension, had to rock my brain for connectors (now that on earth are connectors?), then the last was I dunno how it was called but most likely spot the difference.
I’d say ’twas hard dunno with Myka and Julius but it was for me, after a year of never reading about nouns, connectors, adverbs, subject verb agreement and who knows what else.
TJ was there with his gf, another cute couple, taking the same course together. Chatted a bit after the exams and if we’re lucky enough to pass, all three of us (moi, Myka and TJ) would be classmates this coming semester.
A New Direction
Its 6:08 AM; will have my entrance exam at 7:30 AM. A bit nervous but excited the thought of a new focus somehow gave me new hope. A friend said how come you don’t have a direction when you’re working, guess she never understood after all the things that am going through. Made me reevaluate the friendship I shared with her, bad as it may seem but the moment she said that it made me see her as someone shallow.
