My Grades

well, i finally got them. it was today that they are distributing them. i was quite impressed though coz i never experienced any difficulties in getting my grades. i just walked in to the room where they distributed ours (they have several departments, like 5 or 6 in different classrooms) and left. i was with yan2, she too got her grades, and as she expected it, she had a mark that is not so pleasing to the eyes. she got an INC (Incomplete grade, meaning, her instructor did not submit her grades to the registrar yet) and she was a bit of expecting it too, so it was not so harsh of a news for her.

as for me, i got a RETAKE and an NA (not attending). haha. honestly, i was not expecting the RETAKE mark, i only thought that my instructor would give me an INC mark but, heck! he gave me a RETAKE mark. my grade was not enough to make it to the cut-off that's why i had the RETAKE mark. ungh. what a bummer. as for the NA mark, i was already expecting it. our instructor, who happens to be our adviser as well, is so bitchy i just cant stand her, even though i should respect her because she is our adviser or whatever.

another thing i hate about the masscom faculty, is that iraqi import MR. SAMI KHAYAT a.k.a. "SIR F***". the reason why we call him that? his surname is a deeper term for F*** in bisaya and man, his attitude is way worse than our adviser (MS. JOY G. PEREZ a.k.a. "happiness") because he acts like a know-it-all when in fact, he is not. he only teaches us masscom people 2 subjects in our lifetime which are GRAPHICS AND IN-DESIGN and DESKTOP PUBLISHING.

why i hate him? i cant understand a single word he says. yes, he speaks english but its so slurry and has this distinct accent of his. add them both, plus wrong choices of english words to define something, equals headache. and oh, by the way...he's a nuclear scientist. no kidding. he said somehting about being chased by the authorities (back in iraq) because the authorities are thinking that he is making a nuclear bomb or something that is hidden somewhere underground or whatever. well, that's what he said, but i dont believe him. i just think he is sick in the head. haha.

going back, he has the nerve to tell a student that he/she does not belong in a certain course for reasons that he/she flunks in a subject or two and may i ask, does he have the right to do that? come to think of it, he is not a regular facluty member of my course and to share, ehem...he did it to me.

"you do not belong here to masscom. if you want cooking you go to HRM or if you want, you enroll in I.T. if you want to make gems (games) or hack a computer or something. you go else where, you are lazy and you are fat. the course dont like you so better go away and shift..."

that's what he said to me some time last year when i was talking to "happiness" about the probabilities of my being able to have my internship this summer, which didnt happen because she didnt allow me, even though i pass the requirements for the internship (have at least 90 units, passed advanced news writing and am happy to tell you, i passed broadcast journalism) but still, she thinks that i dont deserve to have my internship this summer and she won. i gave up. what's the point arguing with the adviser? its like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. hmpf. such a bummer, really.

that's why im planning every small detail, from the subjects that i am going to take in a specific semester to the place that i am going to have my internship, hopefully, by next summer and other serious stuff coz im getting tired of school and i dont want to disappoint my folks further. i have done so much to disappoint them and i dont want to add more to the list because it will just make things worse and more complicated. sigh.
