hope: March 6, 2013 — Polytechnic University of the Philippines Graduate School Entrance Exam2:00 PM. I filed a leave from work so I could finally review for the exam. But of course… things didn’t go as planned again. 😅 I caught a cold, and my headache got worse. So just like my previous exams, I ended up taking this one unprepared too. I arrived at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Graduate School around 1:45 PM. I was rushing because I was scared of being late. From Pasong Tamo all the way to Pureza. When I entered the classroom, my first thought was: “Wow… this place feels so public school. Parang grade school lang.” 😂 Then I suddenly told myself: “When I pass and graduate from here, and once I become successful, I’ll donate chairs.” 😄 When the proctor arrived, the atmosphere surprisingly didn’t feel tense at all. He was funny and kept joking around outside the room. He said the exam would last for 1 hour and 30 minutes, and it was composed of: I. Analogy (20 items) II. Verbal Synonyms (10 items) Antonyms (10 items) Sentence Completion (10 items) III. Quantitative (15 items) IV. Reading Comprehension (6 items) What made me laugh a little was that my test booklet already had answers written in the Quantitative part — maybe around two or three items. But the Reading Comprehension section? Almost everything already had answers. 😂 As I kept checking my watch, I started to panic. I had colds. My head hurt. And honestly, I couldn’t even fully understand what I was reading anymore. That’s when I decided to copy some of the answers written in the booklet. 😭 But the moment I finally decided to stop and actually understand what I was reading… BOOM. The proctor walked in. Time’s up. 😂 He said the results would be released on March 20, 2013, Saturday afternoon. But wait… March 20 was a Wednesday. 😭 I honestly don’t know anymore. Haha. Anyway, he said they wanted to finish checking all the exams first so they could release everything at once on their website. After hearing that, I suddenly realized: “Maybe that’s also why the UP results still aren’t out yet.” Alright. “Lord, bahala na po Kayo sakin.” “Sorry… and thank You.” 🙏

2:00 PM.

I filed a leave from work so I could finally review for the exam.

But of course… things didn’t go as planned again. 😅

I caught a cold, and my headache got worse. So just like my previous exams, I ended up taking this one unprepared too.

I arrived at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Graduate School around 1:45 PM. I was rushing because I was scared of being late.

From Pasong Tamo all the way to Pureza.

When I entered the classroom, my first thought was:

“Wow… this place feels so public school. Parang grade school lang.” 😂

Then I suddenly told myself:

“When I pass and graduate from here, and once I become successful, I’ll donate chairs.” 😄

When the proctor arrived, the atmosphere surprisingly didn’t feel tense at all. He was funny and kept joking around outside the room.

He said the exam would last for 1 hour and 30 minutes, and it was composed of:

What made me laugh a little was that my test booklet already had answers written in the Quantitative part — maybe around two or three items.

But the Reading Comprehension section?

Almost everything already had answers. 😂

As I kept checking my watch, I started to panic.

I had colds.
My head hurt.
And honestly, I couldn’t even fully understand what I was reading anymore.

That’s when I decided to copy some of the answers written in the booklet. 😭

But the moment I finally decided to stop and actually understand what I was reading…

BOOM.

The proctor walked in.

Time’s up. 😂

He said the results would be released on March 20, 2013, Saturday afternoon.

But wait…

March 20 was a Wednesday. 😭

I honestly don’t know anymore. Haha.

Anyway, he said they wanted to finish checking all the exams first so they could release everything at once on their website.

After hearing that, I suddenly realized:

“Maybe that’s also why the UP results still aren’t out yet.”

Alright.

“Lord, bahala na po Kayo sakin.”
“Sorry… and thank You.” 🙏
