D-Day

Friday 29th August 2008
Sunny, with overcast skies

Today's the day I learn about my fate. Today's the day I'll know what's in store for me. Today's the day I reap the dividends of my tireless efforts, or was it?

Was pretty much pre-occupied with mum's business all morning, driving here and there. Left office for college at 2p.m. When I reached there, was a little surprised with the amount of people there to collect thier Intermediate results. Luckily Ishmael was there to support me. When I was about to receive the results, when the guy at the post was looking through the candidate numbers, I was so praying that what Ishmael told me last night, was nothing but a ruthless prank, just to scare me a little. I knew the chances of a pass were super slim, nonetheless, I took it as a man, like a man, with a man! When he found my results slips, he said:"I'm so sorry, you have to be referred". Was expecting that though. Mum wasn't too angry or furious with me, she was more disappointed by the fact that I failed miserably, way below my standards, and wasn't too happy at all about the exam fees that I shouldn't be thinking about now. But nonetheless, the damage had already been done. Contract law had always been my Achilles heel. I've always been trying to avoid it, even when exams were just around the corner. Today I learnt a lesson, and the lesson is never hide from your enemy, but instead face up to it, and take it as I am. I failed to do that 3 months ago, but for the next 2 months, that is certainly what I must do
