finally natuloy na ung MS prelims namen.. ud think na since it was postponed 2x, i wouldve studied more than enough & would just breeze through it... but no! i read my notes 1x last nyt and once this afternoon before the exam... i was so not in the mood to study... and even if i tried to, i was absorbing nothing.. so there, i just wrote whatever came to my mind.. hoping that our prof will be in a good mood when she checks it & is very considerate...
