Flustered

This is not my lucky day.

Hindi ko alam kung ilang beses ko nang inulit sa isip ko 'yan. Just when I thought things are getting better, life punches me right in the gut again. Ang malas malas ko ngayon! Bakit ba ganon?

First, late akong nagising. Hindi na ako naka ligo man lang kasi late nga ako. I did shower last night and amoy fresh pa naman ako but after pulling up an almost all nighter, I could use a morning shower to cool my head. Since I'm running out of time, nag hugas nalang ako ng mukha at nag palit ng damit bago lumabas. Second, I missed breakfast. I was really looking forward to a heavy meal kasi iyon ang kailangan ko para ngayon. The Dining Hall is closed after breakfast hour kasi exam day, bawal tumambay sa loob. It's a shitty policy if you ask me. Paano naman kasi iyong mga late at gutom? I had to beg the one in charge to give me at least a cup of coffee. After that I ran as fast as I can without spilling the hot coffee hanggang sa makarating ako sa first class ko. Of course I made a scene for entering late with bags under my eyes, tousled hair, beads of sweat on my forehead and a coffee in hand. I clearly screamed the Late! look.

My professor glared at me. I only gave her an apologetic smile at dumiretso na sa upuan ko.

Ang prof ko na ang lumapit para bigyan ako ng test paper pero bago pa niya i-abot sa akin binigyan na agad niya ako ng pointed look and my face drained of color upon realizing what he meant by that.

Nakalimutan ko ang test permit ko sa dorm.

Napa buntong hininga ang professor nang maintindihan kung anong meron sa mukha ko palang. "I'll let you take the exam pero hindi ko ire-record ang grade mo pag wala kang napakitang test permit sa akin bago mag lunch."

"Yes, Ma'am. Thank you po."

That was a close one pero nakakahiya kasi ang daming napalingon sa pwesto ko nang marinig nila ang sinabi ni Ma'am. Well, whatever. They don't know me anyway. Hindi ako yung tipong madaling maalala ng tao.

15 minutes in and I'm already pulling the ends of my hair kasi what the heck? Nasaan ang laman ng exam na to sa ni-review ko kagabi? Nasaan?!

Mali ba yung pointers na nakuha ko? Binasa ko naman lahat pero bakit ganito ba din?

Akala ko sa test permit na magtatapos ang malas ko. Boy was I wrong.

Safe to say na malapit na akong umiyak when the period ended but I have to hold it all in kasi may exam pa ako next period.

Ang malas ko kasi halos sabay nag pa-exam ang kalahati ng subjects ko. Yung ibang subjects naman hindi nagpapahuli sa mga requirements kala mo robot kami kung makapag bigay ng gagawin.

I went through half of the day nang kape lang ang laman ng tyan. I rushed back to the dorm before lunch to get my permit at ipakita sa lahat ng prof na inexaman kong subject and rush again to get to lunch.

Lunch lang siguro yung magandang point ng araw ko. I feel a little light headed this morning but nawala na din once I got food in my system.

Kasalanan ko din 'to for making a crappy schedule for myself this semester. Siniksik ko ang lahat ng minor na pwede kong makuha sa two meetings per week. Hassle lang talaga kasi naisipan nilang i-sched ang mga exams nila sa isang araw lang ng meetings na iyon.
