Big Splash!

I have quite a lot of things going on with me since I last wrote an entry for this blog, but I can't seem to get that urge/inspiration/drive to share it. That ends today. Remember that last entry? Scroll down and scan it if you don't. I said, "I just might make a big splash..."

Guess what... apparently, I DID!!!!

The final grade for that particular subject was released just this wednesday. It was very late, but that wasn't really surprising because this professor had a reputation of submitting grades at a very very VERY late time. In fact, we were all expecting to get our grades at the beginning of the next semester.

When a friend told me (through text message) that grades had already been released, I didn't know how to react. I was excited and worried at the same time. I had worked hard and prayed even harder just to pass, but I was scared that all that might not be enough, because I know that sometimes, we don't always get what we ask for.

When the lady in the Records Section told me my grade, I couldn't believe my ears. I had to ask her to repeat it. Even after that, I still couldn't believe it. I got an 84. This may not be that high to many people, but after what happened to me, all I was hoping for was to get a 75.

When I told my friends about this, one of them said that I was the exception to the rule. I asked her which rule... She explained: "Remember how the only people who ever flunked his (the professor's ) class are those who leave that room last? (Referring to the oral exam) You left the room last, but you ended up getting one of the higher grades."

I thought it over, and she was right. I kept telling them how surprised I was and they kept saying that I must have done a very good job with my finals. Now, I think, may be I really have.

I set a goal and it worked... I did it.

Now, I have a new set of goals... this could be a long shot... but I don't care. I'm reaching those goals and I'm sticking to my plans.

It's a brand new day! Brand new chance to do something better! It's going to be a tough road, but I don't think I have ever been this excited to work hard! I think this is going to be a good school year.

I really think that.
