Bloopers

Star spangled result! hehe! :)
This is the third part from my last two previous posts. Sequel huh? :) There. I've been wanting to share this to all of you since last Thursday but there were errands I need to do and I didn't have much time in front of my laptop. 
"Bloopers" as what the title of this post. There were unexpected events that happened to me on the day of the exam last Dec. 18&19 and I'd like to share them to you all! Hehe! :) For fun lang!

Blooper#1: I forgot to bring my long brown envelope on the day of the exam! Each examiner was required to bring one long brown envelope cause that's where we'll put all our answer sheets. So it really was important! I texted my friend if she has an extra envelope and yes, she has none! haha! It made me panic! I hoped and prayed that we'll pass by a bookstore or a 7/11 outlet. But luckily, thank God, vendors were allowed to come inside UST that day. Whew! (I also forgot to bring a pen! Nyak!)

Blooper#2: Our proctor was a first-timer! At first, I really thought she knew what she's doing until a girl from the our room raised a question about something. It's about our test paper's serial number or something like that. I forgot exactly what it was but it turns out that she's a repeater so she kinda know already the flow of the exam. It made me a little nervous cause what if the proctor made a mistake? It'll be her fault that we'll fail! But, thank God again, the issue was resolved and that we were assured that she did a right job.

Blooper#3: Our exam was scheduled on the 18th and the 19th of December. Usually, exams are scheduled on weekends but for us, it's a Sunday and a Monday. So on the second day, we were advised to come earlier than usual in order to avoid traffic and rush hour. My best friend and I agreed that we'll meet in Zapote at exactly 5AM. I woke up extra early and was in Zapote fifteen minutes before 5. I waited patiently. 5:30 came and went but there was no Sportivo in sight. The very good thing was, my cellphone doesn't have load! Very good, Hannah! I looked for any store but there's none in sight. 6:00 and still, there's no Sportivo in front of me! I was on the verge of crying! My cellphone doesn't have load and it's malfunctioning too! Great. Just great. 
I mastered the remaining guts in me and asked a tricycle driver if he has load and I'll just pay him after. But Mr. Tricycle Driver doesn't have load either! Whew! I asked if I can just borrow his phone so I can insert my sim. Ang bait ni kuya. Bless his heart! Turned out my bestfriend's lolo was having a hard time driving. In short, we left Zapote at 6:35AM. But all things work together for good. We arrived at UST at 7:30AM and we're NOT LATE! :) Thank you, Jesus!

Blooper#4: When we were still reviewing for the exam, our lecturers would always remind us that we must avoid erasures in our answer sheets at all cost cause there might be some problems in checking.The Scantron machine might not read the answers correctly. Ok. That's so easy--NO. I made a lot of erasures in my exam! If my memory serves me well, I had 5 r 6 erasures all in all! I'm dead meat! 

A calculator's also a must-have in our exam. There are also computations in Nursing, FYI! hehe. Guess what? My calculator's dead. Yep! It's dead! No battery! What the?! Mastered the guts again to ask a girl in front of me if I could borrow hers. Bless her heart! 

Blooper#5: I lost my cellphone.
December 19. It's exactly 2 months now.

Out of the 67,095 who took the exam December last year, only 22,760 have been fortunate to pass. Thank you, Lord I am one of them! 
To God be all the glory!
