Before the UPCAT....

Starting tomorrow, dreams will be on the line as the UPCAT, one of the biggest university entrance tests rolls through the weekend.

I'll take the test on Sunday and I would be one of the last students to take it as I would be in the PM session. I won't be at the computer over the weekend, to get focused on what will lie ahead. I'll be reading the comments posted here as soon as I finish the UPCAT on Sunday night.

I'd say GOOD LUCK to myself, and to all to those who will take the UPCAT tomorrow and on Sunday
(^_^). For those who are in the same time and building as me (SCHOOL of ECONOMICS), see you on Sunday!

Expert Guides Review: Week 2

Week 2 of our college exam review with Expert Guides, lasted the entire weekday. 5 days straight before the weekend comes.

During this whole week, we finished Math 1, Chemistry and Physics. And then we had another session of Math 2, Math 3, Math 4, English. We had tests on Abstract Reasoning, Filipino, General Information, and Current Events.

On one day during this week, I got "OWNED" not ONCE, not TWICE, not THRICE, but FOUR times. Since reviewing for college is very difficult. I must strive hard on the final week of the review. Where on the final day, it's the mock UPCAT and ACET.

Expert Guides Review: Week 1

Week 1 of our college exam review with Expert Guides, lasted 3 days (Wednesday-Friday) where every day we had to review from 8am to 5pm. I was a part of section Claret A, one of the 5 (originally 4 sections of classes), Claretians were arranged alphabetically by last name (well not quite since we had a classmate who's last name is M).

During the first three days we had 2 sessions of Math 1 (Algerbra), 2 sessions of Chemistry, a session of Biology and Math 3 (Geometry), with each session lasting 4 hours with breaks in between. During Day 1, we had some people who were from other schools, but they would move to Claret E (5th section) as one with some Claretians moving as well. We had 5 tests and some exercises during this period.

I could call it "sabaw" since it was a struggle trying to get every single information that I am getting in this review. Anyway we have 2 weeks left of review (9 days left), I'll try to get as much information as I can get.

CARD DAY: Good news - Grades up. Bad news - Tuition up.

Today was the "dreadful" day of the school year, the final CARD DAY for SY 2008-09.

This final CARD DAY is not just the getting of cards and showing of grades, but this is a key to applying for college this year.

Prior to knowing the CARD grade, I was worried that I may get a line of 7 in one of my subjects, and what grades will I show to universities I will apply to. Fortunately, my card grade went up by 0.63% from the previous quarter. Still, I'm a long way from my classmates, since I am a part of the Honors Class this school year, most of my classmates are way smarter than me. Still, I am satisfied about my higher grade.

But despite the good news of having a higher card grade this year, Tuition fees for next school year will go up for incoming 4th year to P71,000, which is bad news. I'm not sure if we can afford the tuition, but since I want to stay in Claret next year and not move. I will study harder than before right now.

GET READY... the last stand of the 3rd Year life..

Another school year is coming to an end, and next week is review week, a time for preparation for the exams. In two weeks, the students will take the 4th and Final Quarter Exam, which is vital to the 3rd Year students to determine the final grade of this year which will be part of the college application.

I don't know what to expect, since I am not the best academically in class, I think I should straighten my act. Maybe lessen my computer time to at least half or 1/3 as normal, start reading and studying all the lessons that we ventured, and get the help that I need. It's a time for sacrifice. Sacrifice would be part our life as we prepare for college.

For my first college pick: I want to go to UP like my parents and cousins who had their college there, I don't want to worry them about the cost of studying. But in order to achieve what I aspire, I should work hard study like it's the entrance test itself and prepare for the things to come in life.

Only a couple of weeks remain in this 3rd Year "rollercoaster", My wish is to end this school year without any problems.

A lot to do... and a lot more to prove...

Yeah, the cards are out and it showed a bleak and sinister message to me... I need to improve big if I will get the chance to go to a great university..

If I want to improve my grades and stuff... I need study hard, play hard, and especially WORK HARD...

I must not go PETIX on my studies and limit my time at the computer because it has taken me off...

The Science Fair is coming up.. we have a lot of work to do.. for our IP... I'm a little bit confused.. and hey! someone called me something uncomfortable..

After that it's the Intrams, I need to buy a basketball....

Finally, College APPLICATIONS to FILL UP!!

SURE THERE IS A LOT TO DO AND PROVE
