Rant.

Wed Nov 11, 2009, 4:24 PM
Been blogging a lot lately. It really sucks when really don't have anyone to share your thoughts with at the moment.

I understand the 40-year gap between my mom and I, but she's just too much. I never asked and expected for any encouragement from her, so to nag and blame me for something I am not in control with annoys me a lot.

I got 3.0 on my 1st semester thesis, something really unexpected. I told her that my adviser will explain the details on Monday and I still got to hear his side before I can go mad, but mom firmly said that she won't accept 3.0 for a grade, like I should never have a grade like that ever.

I did what I could, and I pretty much believe that I don't deserve that grade at all, but I have to stay calm --- even if it took me 2 weeks to fully accept that I can no longer run for the cum laude thing. In arts, the skill you have in executing and accomplishing you work is far more important than grades. Ugh.

Ice cream please.

I'm sorry, allow me to disregard your mom just this once and say that, I hate moms like that. I truly can relate to your situation! I failed my thesis in the same university, and I dare say that they were totally unjust in their judgment. Why? My own thesis adviser sold me out to the juries! Okay, I'm not here to rant about me, or my absolute loathing for that dumb university. ^^; All I want to say is, it's just unfair, because your mom is the first person in the world who is supposed to stand by you and support you and NOT NAG you in a situation like that. My mom didn't even bother to ask me what had happened, how I was feeling, or what I just went through, she just kept saying I have to go back, go back, do it again, finish my course, and that's all that mattered to her. :XD: Mga friends ko pa ang mas nakiramay at nagcomfort sa akin. I didn't get any of that from my mom, sadly nakadagdag pa siya sa heartache ko. I dunno how to help, but I just wanted you to know na hindi ka nag-iisa sa ganyang problema. Sigh. I honestly can't think of any good advice except that you should stay strong and don't lose trust in yourself no matter what. Kaw pa, ang sipag-sipag at ang galing-galing mo. :) I'm sure you'll emerge from that a stronger & an even better person!

Hmmm, ganun talaga kasi ugali ni mama eh.
as for the university, I never expected anything great from them. but I could less care, as long as I know I have people on my side, I'm pretty fine with anything.

Ika nga ni Gandhi, "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." Thesis won't matter in the future, parang pang experience na nga lang siya eh. Ganun na lang iniisip ko. :3

Nyak, hindi naman ako masipag masyado --- naka tambay nga ako sa facebook buong araw eh! Hahaha tenkyew! :thumbsup:

im not that sure pero sa pagkaka-alam ko pwede ka pang maging candidate for cum laude even though nagka 3.0 ka.. they will weigh-in you average after the 2nd sem.. Just think of this, may mga nagiging cum laude na di talaga ganung ka talented, nakukuha na lang sa sipag.. subjective na lang din ang tingin ng iba sa dean's list and honor's list. at subjective na lang din minsan ang grading system ng ibang professor.. lalo na sa thesis. No choice ka na lang minsan, kailangang sundin ang adviser para ma-endorse. haha, madaming pwedeng mangyari, pinakamagandang gawin na lang eh mag enjoy ka sa ginagawa mo.

oooh, i didn't know that. i'm only after the cum laude thing for my mom, pero ayun lang, i always believed naman na it won't matter kapag naghanap ako ng work or something.

tama mas importante enjoy lang, saka xempre maganda yung gawa.

salamat. ayos! :thumbsup:
