bye bsa, hello bsma

last week, i learned that i have to shift to another course. i didnt make it to the cutoff grade for a subject that i retook and the department's retention policy states that only one retake per subject is allowed. i was faced with the following choices: shift course but stay in my current university, continue my course but in a different school where the cutoff grade is lower, or quit school altogether. (my father's going to kill me with the last one.)
i know i didnt really push it hard enough. i couldve done better. but that's cliche and what's done is done. (i actually have that phrase as my motto in highschool hehe) no regrets. (another highschool motto) but the truth is, i do have regrets. i spent three summer months in school to be able to stay in the curriculum. i wasted time and effort and money. money that wasnt even mine.
i was going to start with my ojt. i was going to enroll ac28(ojt) for the summer and take up fola(nihonggo). i was going to graduate next year 2007. i was going to climb up stage and look at students my age, my batch. i was going to review and take the board exam. i was going to be like my father. my life's course made a major turn. the things that i was going to do will have to be reconsidered. they will have to wait. they will have to be changed.
when i broke the news to my father, he was very upset. i understand. but he was cool two days later. that made me happy.
looking at the bright side..hey, i will graduate this year. mrs. lapus allowed me to do my ojt(although i didnt have to since it's not in the bsma curriculum) in her firm for the summer. i will be able to go to bohol with my family this april. i can do things i wouldve loved to do during the summer. things/activities that i missed out because i had to go to school. i am now relieved with all the stress that the cutoff used to give me.
my family have always been supportive of me. and im glad.
