Goodbye Latin

I am in denial. Well, until I read Dawn's post.

I so feel the same sentiment. Pre-Japan days was like bagging the Most Outstanding Junior of the Year for my own college and being on top of my class. I may have not exerted a lot of effort-- if there is any effort at all-- for all my class but I managed to survive and still come out with grades my mom could only be happy to know.

Well, now, as Dawn puts it, "is a 360 degree roundabout." I have had two midterm Fs: Physics and Macroeconomics, all required subjects and way far from being a major. I have to admit that I do not want to say goodbye to latin honors just like this. This is my final year in college and I could see the three years of getting good grades go down the drain. I, personally, do not care that much to graduating with only my name and permanent address being mentioned; I just want my mom to be happy. And, it doesn't help if most of the class is graduating cum laude and the other magna cum laude. Just imagine being sandwiched by both.

I wish I could do something about this. I'm not blaming Japan. If there's something, or someone, to blame, it's me. Fucking only me.
