Music of the moment: Give My Love
Mood: Fidgety
I finally took the Obligations and Contract exam last March 21. It was also the last day of classes for school year 04-05. This is a 5 unit subject, and a pre requisite for several Civil Law subjects.
I thought I was gonna hyperventilate to death while taking the test. I blew my midterm exams, and fortumately for me, my recitation grades are quite good, so I only had to get a little more than half of the items and my chances for passing was fine. I needed to get a 60, in order to obtain the passing grade of 75. I had fantasized about getting a final grade of 90, but for it to be possible, I had to perfect my final exams, which in Law School is like winning the lottery, cause it's a near impossibility.
On Monday this week, I received word that my grade for Oblicon was available. It came as a suprise because we took the Oblicon exam last, and the other teachers for the rest of the subjects had not submitted our grades yet.
Anyways, for fear of my classmates beating me to the Dean's office and seeing my test paper, I went to school on Monday morning. Unfortunately, the papers were not yet there. A few of my classmates arrived and we waited and waited. No one wanted to leave. Understandably so, since test papers not claimed stand the risk of being seen and read by other students. We weren't confident about our performance on the exam so we practically camped out.
At around 3:30 PM, after hours of anticipation, the test papers and the time of reckoning arrived.
I felt my heart palpitate. Geez, the task of looking for ones test paper is really nerve racking.
It had been a long day, and a bad grade was the last thing I needed. I would have hollered had I failed.
And thank God, I didn't.
I needed a 100, to get a 90% final grade. Well, I got 99 in the exam. And with the power of rounding off, my 89.99 was recorded as a 90%.
Who says miracles don't happen? Certainly, not me.
