Time to get back to my semi-regular blogging.
I’m done with the review AND the board exam. I also got the results. I feel as if a huge load were removed from my shoulders! The stress and all the worries are now gone. 
Man, I’m not used to _not_ reviewing. 
Before the exams, I reviewed as hard as I could. I kept complaining how many there was needed to be read. 
On the first day of the examinations (Feb. 6), the exams covered Environmental Engineering and Civil Engineering. The Environmental Engineering exam was fine, but I didn’t want to expect a high score on it. Expect the worst they say.
Then on the CE exam, there were only 38 BUT! FREAKING HARD QUESTIONS that probably even those who passed the recent CE exam wouldn’t be able to answer it. There were questions in relation to electricity and Chemistry. I was like, “Wha-!?” I never reviewed those. I felt depressed right after that. I almost lost all hope. But I told myself that the fight is just starting, so I reviewed hard when I got home for Wastewater Engineering and Public Health/Plumbing. I slept most of the time while reviewing ^^;;;. I almost cried when I woke up the following morning. I tried to calm myself down which seemed to work because the others teased on how relaxed I was. But if they knew me for already a long time, they would know that I was worried. I barely spoke and moved from my seat. Thankfully, the Wastewater Engineering went fine. What I hurriedly read during breakfast that morning came out. I was relieved. But in the Public Health/Plumbing exam it was hard like the CE exam. I remember telling my friends not to study the Code on Sanitation because I doubt that would be in the exam. It came true and I felt sorry they spent more time on that. On the last day, the coverage was Water Supply Engineering. Instead of that, there were mostly problems on Fluid Mechanics! I tried to concentrate even though I started to believe I have no chances on passing. I imagined how I would face my parents, Mac, and my friends. It bugged me so much that I spent more time not looking at my paper, but to force myself to focus. 
Since I didn’t review much about Fluid Mechanics, I tried to remember all the things I learned in Fluid Mechanics as hard as I could. My head hurt a lot when I got home. At home, I was telling my Mom again how hard the exams were as if they didn’t want anyone to pass. My parents and Mac kept saying I will pass and everything will be alright. I was worried like shit. I didn’t look at my cellphone until the morning (yesterday). If I do not receive messages that means I failed. If I did… Well…
But I did!!! There were from 3 classmates and our professor congratulating me. I asked myself, “Why!? Did I pass the board!?” I was getting all excited. I couldn’t help myself that I ran to my Dad’s office and excitedly told them that I passed. They were so shocked. They couldn’t believe it! They wouldn’t believe me until they saw the list. So I asked Marius who wouldn’t even tell me at first. So, yeah… The fact that only 16 of us passed is totally unbelievable. 
Anyway, a lot of things happened since October, so I’ll be bumming for some time to REST. I want to take some time to myself without worrying about anything. After the paperworks I worked on months back, I rushed my transcript application which the school’s head registrar wouldn’t even give.
As soon as I got the transcript (after a lot of arguing), I had to hurry for the board exam application which I had problems too because of my birth certificate. I was so stressed that I missed some review days. Ugh~ But all that rushing and panicking paid off. Yay!Congratulations to the ff. Mapuans (more than half of the 16) who also passed:

Thanks to my family and Mac who supported and prayed for me. Thanks also to those who congratulated me.
This is like a prayer! Remember my post about Revoltech’s Yotsuba figure? This time they released a Gurren-Lagann!
