DL Frustrations

This was supposed to have been posted a week ago, when I got my class cards... but I had to stop myself from going online for personal reasons.

BSN 1, 1st sem
I managed to get a cumulative GPA of 92.30 (that's a 3.10, 4 being the highest) but I didn't get to be in the DL (dean's list) due to our English prof. She really gave low grades! I tell you, never in my life have I gotten lower than 92 for English, not once! And then she comes and I get an 83 for my prelims, an 85 for my midterms (consider the fact that I've alrerady been given +2 here), and a 91 for my finals! I think I've only managed to get that 91 because I managed to "fight" with her inside the classroom, correcting the wrong grammar she was teaching us! I don't remember what the excat statement was but I remember Bea correcting the prof first (as my seatmate, Fran & I were discussing her mistake). I didn't notice Bea was already speaking up but Fran pointed it out to me... so we were listening to the prof & Bea argue. Our prof just wouldn't give in to her mistake so Fran started to join in the argument. I didn't really want to argue so I let Fran and Bea do the talking themselves (we had the same point anyways). But still, his (Fran's) arguments were also not being considered by the teacher. It was 2 against 1 and she still wouldn't listen! It was then that I really began to lose my temper! I stood up for what was right! (hehe... dramatic). By the time I started to speak up, I remember everyone in class saying "uy, ma'am, si Femi na 'yan... si Femi na 'yan.." (thank you classmates for believing in my knowledge THAT much!Ü)... after about 5-10 mins. probably, the prof finally stopped to think of the thought of the sentence. And, she didn't want to admit she was wrong! We three were discussing among ourselves...what?... so we won?... we were right!... is she wrong?... The prof approached us when practically everyone had left the classroom & said in a whisper, "you were right." "WHAT???", I asked her (we really couldn't hear her with how soft she was talking)... I did kind of hear what she had said but I wanted her to say it loudly and accept her mistake. Sadly, she just repeated her statement in a soft tone... quite louder than before but still too soft to be heard well by us three.
Still, although I got a 91 for my finals in English, that's only an 86 for the average... we need (at least) a 2.5 (87) per subject (and a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75) to be in the DL.


BSN 1, 2nd sem
I managed to get a cumulative GPA of 92... but sadly, Filipino got me this time. I got an 86 there. It's such a spoiler! I got 3's for all my other subjects and only 2.25 for Filipino! Although, there's nothing I can do to complain though. That's my normal grade actually for Fil, for my whole life! I never got line of 9's in Filipino (except last sem when I miraculously got a 94... although I think that's just because the teacher was just being kind on me). I just feel really bad that if I had only exerted a little more effort (I actually, literally failed Fil midterm exams with a 73), I probably would have gotten that much needed 1% and I would have been in the DL. Blame me and my hatred for studying.
All the rest of my grades are okay tho...my next lowest is 91 (English2 & SocioAnthro)... followed by a 92 (Biochem), then a 93 (Bio & Logic - happy to say I got a 97 for my finals in Logic), got a 94 in InfoTech, ... and my highest is a 97 for PE2 (Ballroom Dancing)... although I don't really value that THAT much cos it's just a minor subject with 2 units, tho I admit it does help pull up the cuGPA. I just wish that 97 was what I had gotten for Biochem cos I really ove that subject & besides, it's composed of 4 units! =)
