ES 12

roughly 6 years ago, i chose to go to the prestigious University of the Philippines - Diliman full of hopes for greater knowledge and a liberating society. and yes, for moving on (i left ******* a letter saying that i'd be away and that i might just move on and get over my feelings for him).

my first failed subject was Math17: College Algebra and Trigonometry. i got my classcard on my birthday. i sort of expected it, but still, the shopping money my mom sent me, though it was a lot, didn't compensate for the frustration. my parents were worried. so, i went home.

i won't be going thru all the details of my failures in UP. i'll just tell you this, it became an unintended habit. i never failed to fail one subject every sem. well, at least, those subjects were the ones normally failed by the students. and that makes me the normal/average UP student.

now, i am supposed to graduate this summer, with all other things going well, this Engineering Science 12, which is Dynamics, threatens to hinder it. it is already my 3rd take of this subject. and when i am supposed to be an expert with it by now, i am still finding it hard. ok, this course doesn't really have a history of passing rate that would make you confident. just last sem, it wasn't even 50% even when they curved the passing score. so, it won't be a surprise if the same thing is going to happen this semester.

well, to not make 'em all evil, they gave an exam which was so easy! very actually. problems with just around 5-step solution. but the catch there, you should have thought of an approach that wasn't taught to class. turned out to be the overall mean of the exam was only 40-50%. then, of course, professors went like, we already made the exam so easy, what happened. oh yeah! how sweet! what are we? a social experiment?!

i know that there's still a possibility that i won't make it, but, i was at least at peace with the idea that i still have a summer. but, hearing that they won't be giving out summer classes of the course, wtf?!

i would surely bother myself making a petition letter and obtaining signatures to support it, just in case...i won't make it. and if they won't be persuaded...hmmm...

• probably, a bomb threat to the department
• bribery?
• make use of connections perhaps
• a mobilization might do

it's up for them to decide. the hell, they won't be giving those classes for free! we'll pay, duh!
