Worst Case Scenario

Actually, it was not just a scenario. The worst thing actually happened.

Our exam for Prov Rem was scheduled initially scheduled today. However, our beloved Dean was rushed to the hospital last Sunday.

Of course, I was one of those who fervently prayed for his recovery. I actually prayed to the Lord "na bahala na mag-exam, ma-ok lang si Dean." I am pretty sure everybody has a high regard for Dean. Our Civ Pro last sem with him made me thankful that I became his student. (Sayang lang because I had a number of classmates who failed .. but that's another story) And I was, nevertheless, still happy because he is our professor in our Provisional Remedies class.

Last Wednesday, some of us in class decided to visit him at the hospital. He was still in ICU. We took our turns seeing him since only one visitor is allowed at one time. When it was my turn, I just told him to get well soon and that we all miss him. And then, he asked, through some sort of sign language and mouthing of words, if ngayon ba exam ko?".

DEAN talaga si dean. He was still in ICU but he was still thinking about our exams. We thought that it would not push through. And when Dean asked me such action, all I could say was "bukas pa Dean". That was our conversation.

And so, we were fervently praying that it would not push through today. But it did.

There was some miscommunication and misunderstanding. I just pity those who could have done better if we were better prepared, especially our president who tried all means to move the exam. Thanks for the effort, I appreciate it.

Anyhow, I just find it weird that I was accepted the verdict that our exam would push through. I wasn't able to study as much as I shoul and as much as I need to.

If there was any silver lining, there were around 3 questions in the Prov Rem Bar Questions which I researched and prepared. I pray it helped the others as well.

I am not sure why I was calm. I am like that when I know I can't do anything about the situation. Maybe because I was estopped ... I already prayed for Dean's recovery and I already told Dean that we would have the exam on Thursday. I also jokingly told my classmate that the reason why we had no teachers last Wednesday is because our exam would push through tonight. It did.

In the end, I did forget a number of things.

Right now, I am not pretty sure how good I feel about that exam.

Right now, I don't feel to great with the two exams I had, the other one is Tax.

I have to make bawi soon before it is too late.

Hai .. law school !
