Semesterial Update – the Good, Bad and Ugly

   (lol made-up word, I wonder if I can copyright it)

   So, the good news; in what can only be described as miraculous, I actually managed to score a 3.30 on my last semester’s exam, thus bringing my CGPA back to the “+3.0″ region. This is unexpected because I never dreamed that I can actually managed to pull an “A” out of my Operating Systems subject. WHOO!! GO ME!!

   Bad news is, I got a frickin’ B- on my Object Oriented Programming. A “B” on a programming subject… that’s unheard of! I knew that stupid project is going to come back and haunt me… I just never expected how much! If only things are different… granted, it’s not really that bad, but still my ego is hurt and bruised.

   Finally, the ugly – I got barred from continuing on into the second semester – unless if I cough up another 2k in fees (on top of the 4k that I already paid!). I really don’t see how I can get around this, the lady in charge seems really determined to get her… uh, I mean the university’s dough. Negotiations are under way, but it seems that I might have to sit out this semester… not really devastating by itself, but it will most likely delay my graduation for a year.

   But on the plus side, at least this is one of those rare things that I can say that “it’s not my fault”. Well, whatever happens will happen, on the bright side I’ll get an extra 2 month’s holiday, so it’s not really the end of the world.

Iä! Shub Niggurath! Black goat of the woods with a thousand young!
