upcat... ahehe...

today's the last day of the UPCAT. two years ago, i took this 6-hour uber hard exam. i'm in the third batch, august 7, 2005, 5:30 am. i remember, i had LSS with the song "someday" by britney spears, during the exams! i don't know why! maybe because in my way to UP, i heard it thrice?! haha! anyway, in our school [quesci] it's somewhat compulsory to take the UPCAT. UP is the dream school for us. i even attended review classes during summer just to make sure i'll pass it. the review classes didn't help me much in the exams though. but i really enjoyed it coz i was with my friends! i just used the things i learned from the review classes in our fourth year lessons, especially in math [the logarithm & the parabola thing]! going back to when i took the UPCAT, the next day, monday, we were all talking about the exams! haha! we were asking each other "ano sagot mo sa no.1?","natapos mo ba yung math part?","nahirapan ka ba?" things like that! then the nerve racking part was waiting for the results. for six months, we were teasing each other about whether we would be accepted in UP. the results came out february 28, 2007. we were having our final exams during that time. the people were texting their friends from UP asking whether they passed or not! then on the middle of our exam, we heard people from the other section shouting "pumasa 'ko sa upcat!" the people went mad [that includes me]! we finished our exams for about 15 minutes then headed to UP to look at the results! i was really happy & proud when i saw my name there! my efforts paid off! i'll be studying in one of the most prestigious school in the philippines! i felt sad though for my classmates who didn't make it. well, that's life.

i'm really thankful that i got into UP. adjusting to the new environment was so easy since i have a lot of classmates to be with there. it's just in the walking and walking part and the enrollment part, that i had a hard time! but now that i'm on my second year, i already got used to lots of walking and the super long days of enrolling! haha! tchus!
