I realized last night that my grades today are bad because they won't make the Dean's List. Bitin pa ng konti.

(GOD it feels good to say that!)

But yes. For once, I'll agree with my Mom and Dad that I'm underachieving, particularly because my teachers are supposed to be the "good ones" who lecture well and are a "soft touch on grades" (as one of them puts it). With the semester more than halfway done, I don't agree they're all easy. But I concur with friends that they're good lecturers.

And yes. I'm happy I'm no longer failing. Shifting out of a course you don't like CHANGES EVERYTHING, especially your perception of your "work" as a whole.

I won't lie: I like a lot of what I'm learning. It just doesn't show on my papers and quizzes that I'm learning anything at all. :p

Maybe I can start there.

But yes. I want to make the DL. If not, I'll have to take that 5th year. And I don't necessarily want that. (although it'd be cool. hehe.)
