praying like hell works
i was so scared of failing. see, i’ve never failed a single exam in my life. and what a big joke it’d be if i failed the one LAST exam that really mattered. after the taxation exam, i was sure i’d sealed my fate and i was resigned to a retake.
i spent the entire day yesterday "away from civilization". wenbert and i took a road trip to boljoon!he wanted a swim; i wanted to take my mind off the exam results. we got to wenber’ts home at around 5pm. i had a feeling the results were in, but i didn’t want to know right away. instead, we watch "snakes on a plane". at around 7pm, wenbert had to update some websites; so it was inevitable, the internet beckoned. i checked the net and saw the flashing banner "new cpa examination results". i was literally ready to start crying because i "knew" i had failed.
i pressed CTRL + F, typed in my name, and omg, there i was, cpa board passer #918…. i felt GOD right there and then. i cried, but yes, you guessed it, they were tears of joy :). it was euphoric. i texted my friends, emailed my relatives abroad, and called home.
thank you so much to everybody who cared! esp wenbert who drove to liloan from mandaue at 5:30 am of my exam days to take me to uc-main. to his mom for the sacred heart novena. his aunt & ms. gerebese for their prayers. to the crazy family. thank you!!! and oh, i used the cross ballpen from Rhine for good luck and it worked!
i’ve always liked topping my exams since kinder, but yesterday, it felt a hundred times better to "JUST" pass. please correct me, but wasn’t the date yesterday DECEMBER 25?
