Ang Sakit! : Post UPCAT "Woes"
Ang Sakit! : Post UPCAT "Woes"
That's it...My four (or so) years of constant dreaming, condensed into 4 (or so) hours of grueling mental workout ended in migraine and yes,tears.I think I blew it up!!!!!The Math part, I mean. Well, the rest was pretty easy. Yeah, the language and reading comprehension part siguro, but science was a bit "jargonic" as Carlo puts it. I woke up at around 3 am, and no one else in the house was eligible/willing to accompany me to UP due to certain conditions: 1. Vatti is not the best driver at around 3 am. 2. I lost in the contest I had in grade school when Mutti went with me. (Conclusion: siya ay jinx!) So, I had to go with Tito Tonet who does not and will not own a car, and according to his terms, we will commute.Hooray!What a taxi ride! It was already 6:15 and we were stuck at Philcoa. Thankfully, my sweat glands were pretty much dormant that time.Well, I guess I'll have to skip,skip,skip... Cause I want to share the best part about my UPCAT experience...Nope, it's not that the first question was already given in our review session last week. And nope, it's not because of the surprisingly immaculate comfort rooms in Malcolm Hall. It's because...Our tester was a god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He looked every inch a rock god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And that, inspired me to answer all the questions in Math in the best way that I can (i.e. Eenie-meenie method, and random pointing). I have to pass!!!!!The math part was soooo vague. You know, I'm so used to that feeling of panic everytime I have to answer a math test, but the UPCAT was different. I felt sooo helpless,bombarded with arithmetic progressions and logarithms. Sometimes, during particular instances when you feel so helpless, everything stops and your whole life, from your existence as a fetus comes flashing back at you.It happened to me.Seventeen times.C'est tout.
