i am blessed with VERY kind teachers this semester.

imagine in ec 205 (mathematical economics) i got B-. according to my teacher, a B- is a passing grade but graduate students need at least a B to earn the credits for the subject. she gave me a chance to improve my grade to credit status by giving me two options: first one is for me to re-take the final exam by Wednesday, April 2, 2003 (since the final marks have to be submitted on April 3, 2003) wherein she will be giving the VERY SAME exam that i took last Saturday. the 2nd one is, if i decided not to retake the exam, she will give me a mark of INC and i will receive a final mark, subject to completion of requirements within the prescribed period, by October 2003. This means that i will have until October 2003 to take a new final exam.

she strongly suggested that i re-take the final exam that wednesday. grabe! i was so glad. i called two of my classmates, and begged them to teach me. I’m so grateful they lend me some of their very precious time to explain everything i had learn.

eventhough i haven't seen my paper yet, thank you ms. pepito, you are heaven sent :) with you kindness.

i always believe that God send us angels in different forms. And during that time, I think I’ve met two of them in the person of jen and joseph. thank you guys :)

the other one is dr. bautista of ec 224 (history of economic thoughts).

he gave us a take-home exam last march 25. the exam was supposed to be submitted by friday of the same week. until now I don’t have any answers (yet) to # s 2 & 3 (tsk! tsk!).

I e-mailed him last friday (april 4), asking if I can still pass my final exam. and lo and behold! (because I am not expecting him to answer back) he told me that I can still pass it. but until then he will give me a grade of incomplete.

don’t get me wrong, i am not the type of student who’s pabaya or something. It’s just that my smaller-that-pea-sized-brain is not functioning very well or (in worst case) at all whenever I am nervous or stressed.

I will be a better student next sem. promise. well, I hope :)
