Compreto

I was reviewing for Control on how incentives optimize performance when I felt the urge to come and write here. I know gauging from my essay type of exams in most of my subjects that my prowess if one can call it in essay writing have long become rusty. I did not know when it actually start but I am at the height where the right word is in my mind but cannot seem to find its way to my fingers or mouth. It is frustrating especially when there is a limited space to put my answer. Adding to it the frustration of not being able to make my handwriting small to at least save some more for my blabbing.

Otherwise, the review process is going the right track, the first day on my own characterized by proper naps and snacks in between. There's the occasional worrying, of self-demotivation but knowing that all others depend on this exam motivates me more to continue. Plus the fact that I ousted Gabby in the house, of wanting to make her sacrifice count all the more gives me reason to inch it forward.

So coming here sort of tries to regain some of m focus, of wanting to recount things why I should pass the test, of how my own incentives should nudge me to optimize my performance.

A UP Kind of Sunday

Last Sunday, I, Frances, Auee, and Cla reviewed all day long at the UP Lagoon. It was our kickoff review for the dreaded Compre exams in our MBA program. So we were studying Ops and Mktg for the weekend and are having some luck concentrating.

 

 I brought along Gabby and Shasha who have been cooperative in letting us come to terms with our elements.

Nung tumingin ako ulit sa kung saan sila naglatag, nakita ko na may guy na pinipicture-an si Gabby. Nagpaalam naman si Jun who I came to know was just on a hobby shooting spree for the day - thus his FB album title - a UP Kind of Sunday. As  usual si Boodie nung pinapagpose na namin e ayaw na naman nya.

Funny because that week I had a rough time enrolling owing to enlisting the wrong BA 237. It was understandable because it was easy to get confused on two subjects sharing the same course number, right? So I had to spend 2-3 days in limbo to make sure I get to graduate with my batch. Thank heavens Ate Ida is very accommodating and understands my plight. Her powers allowed me to enroll on a full class just so I can take the subject.

It's been a very loooong journey - not quite as long by college standards na nag-five years ako sa BS Accountancy but 3 years in MBA-part time is another story if you juggle it with work and family. But then parte yan ng kakaibang fulfillment once mgpapicture na ako with the sunflowers. The jitters although not the same as the board exams still is strong because there is that possibility of not being able to graduate if I dare flunk the comprehensive exams. Although I wouldn't let it, the sleepless nights are forthcoming.

At the end of it all, just like every other uphill climb in my life I will get to see the top and everything will be as easy once again. Everything will take a brighter hue, even those grass we used to lie on in the lagoon.
