Surprisingly half of our grades were already released. The release was a couple of days earlier than what was set by the administration. I'm not complaining or anything I just wasn't emotionally prepared to see my grades yet. But when one's grades are delivered through email then basically you can't stop yourself from viewing it.

I was relieved that I passed one of the 2 subjects that I am expecting a high probability of failure. However, the other one is yet to be released. Guess what subject it is? Syempre, its negotioable instruments under Atty. Refran. Wish ko lang talaga na hindi nya i-release ang grades ng summer di ba.

There were two subjects that I expected better grades. Maybe I didn't really do well in the finals. Well, okay na rin. At least they weren't so bad and they remained to be in the line of 8s and not 7s.

Like what I mentioned before...this is defintely NOT a DL sem for my batch. Under the new curriculum we didn't have have any minor subjects (mga totoong pang hatak)...besides formed I guess which eventually became a burden (thanks to a few) than a blessing.

One of my classmates told me that she's already studying some topics for 2nd semester...civil procedure in particular. The story just freaked me out! I felt as if I was such a lousy student for not studying in advance. I just couldn't help but enjoy my sembreak but i'm scared that the next sem would turn out worse than the previous one.

With the partial grades released I realized that I should take my old mantra more seriously now. Actually, maybe just as serious as in my first year...

to compensate with diligence what I lack in brillance.


But I don't want to be such a nerd anymore. How will I strike a balance especially now that i have an 75% chance than I will be on probation this semester??? How?!
