So yea. I've been stressing over it for this past few days. When I was in my first year of high school, I've always dreamed of studying in UP, specifically in Diliman. I never really dreamed of studying in UST. I told myself back then that I would study there. LOL. Here is a list of what I wanted to take up.
1st year to 2nd year. I wanted to be a Linguist cause I wanted to meet my J-artist crush. HAHA. I thought that if I became a linguist I could be the one in Music Station talking/translating to HeySayJump and other J-artist that I like XD
3rd year. I loved Math back then. I think my lowest grade was 89? So I decided that I wanted to take up Business Management cause I thought that it was as easy as solving a simple problem.
4th year. In my summer review in Brain Train, I thought of myself as one of the best in English cause I frequently get the highest score in our seatworks :) So I wanted to take up Communication Arts.
I took the entrance exam in UP (UPCAT) last August I think? It was really hard -.- I had given up all hope of ever studying there. I thought that everything I've learned in Brain Train was put to waste. I couldn't remember the things I learned there. Especially the Science part >.<
I was scheduled to take the entrance exam of UST (USTET) on November something. But I was shocked that we had a game scheduled in Ayala the next day. I thought that my parents wouldn't allow me to play cause they wanted me to study, but I promised them that when I get home I would put all my efforts in studying. They agreed and I was so happy. (I saw Lukas that day :"> I didn't expect to see him) I took the exam the next day in CA San Pablo.
Look at my skin. Eww. So tanned.
Oyea. Here are my courses.
In UPD 1st choice Linguistics, 2nd choice Business Management.
In UPLB 1st choice Agri Business, 2nd choice Communication Arts
In UST, 1st choice Architecture, 2nd choice Business Economics (they didn't have business management)
The results for the USTET was released last February. The USTET was released before the UPCAT. At first, when I found out that only a few of my classmates passed, I got scared cause my course was a quota course, meaning they only take a limited number of students. My classmate, who I heard wanted to take architecture since she was in first year, didn't qualify. I got really scared cause I wasn't confident in my exam. I didn't finish the first part. I didn't manage to answer 12 items. So if you look at it this way, I only answered 48/60, and of course, minus the mistakes. I wanted to see my USTET result so badly, so I asked my classmate if I could use her laptop. When I saw the results I was so surprised to see...
I PASSED! I PASSED BOTH of my courses there! ^.^
I was so happy to see that I passed both. I feel really proud of myself. When I saw this I kinda wished that I wouldn't pass the UPCAT :)) cause i knew that if I passed, I would have to pick ONE SCHOOL. and I know it's so hard to choose cause UP is my dream school, but UST has my dream course. (drawing + Math = LOVE)
So when the UPCAT results were up I was kinda sad not to see my name. I'm so selfish. So I decided not to fret about UP and just go to UST. BUT THEN. A letter from UP came to our school and I got a surprisingly high UPG. WHY DO YOU TORTURE ME? ajujuju
The required grade to enter UP is 2.4. I'm kinda disappointed that I didn't pass though. It's SO CLOSE, yet so far. LOL. BUT, UPLB has a waitlist. The required grade is 2.8. When I saw my UPG I thought to myself that getting in UP isn't really that hard. I can just go there then shift to another course or campus. but bacause of the increasing accidents happening there, I decided to study in UST once and for all. I took that as a sign to not study there.
Thank you for the opportunities that you have given me. Thank you also for teaching me to choose for what I really want/need.
