URC Finals
well, this news is long overdue. but i owe *i think to put a closure on that URC thing.
we ranked 5th out of the 10 finalists during the eliminations. and, unfortunately, we didn't make it to winning any of the top three prizes during the finals.
more than the frustration with not winning, what really got me was the inconsistency with the program schedules and venue. we were already in the P&G (fifth floor) Room when we found out about the new contest venue through that piece of paper posted on the door saying that it was moved to the Engineering theater in the third floor. instead of waiting for the elevator, we just opted to use the stairs. boo!
another catch was with the schedule. it was posted that the registration would be at 1:00 pm and the contest proper was at 2:00. our group arrived at 1:30 thinking that we would still have the time to set up the projector, the new posters and the rest of the details. but it turned out that the only time we have left was that minute i rushed to the cr, changed into my sleeves, put on the sweat shirt *to add a bit more of formality. and at the same time, i stuffed a tablet of Icebreaker and started with the presentation as a judge was already standing-by. boo!
i was just keeping my calm all throughout. well, they served a sumptuous merienda, but, even though i ate a lot as my form of revenge, still, that didn't compensate for the disappointment i had.
another thing. i just think and feel that it is expected of the judges to have read about the different studies prior to the competition proper, rather than asking the presentors even the most basic concept of the study.
i am maybe sounding wrathful, but, i am really totally fine now about the whole URC thing. and everything doesn't end there.
