Worst Christmas Present

Shocked. Speechless. Confused. Sad.

My coursemate called me just now, saying the result's out.

I started dialing and no one answered my call.

My mind said to me, "No worries. Let's try later."

Then, a friend of mine bursted the bad news to me. Some students failed the Decision Mathematics: Critical Path Analysis/Linear Programming paper. My name was on it.

Bad news! Bad news! How could I failed that paper?! I did well on that paper compared to the others (paper) !.... I think... :(

Though everyone knows my name is in it, there's no prove. Not yet. The news spread from a SINGLE source. Not that everyone confirmed that I failed right?

There's still hope. I prayed and prayed "Oh God, please let it not be me."

I have to confirm the news. Couple of calls and finally I got through. The Exam Admin told me the computer was down so I couldn't check my result. What could be worse?

"Miss, you would have to check back in a week time"

Great. Just great. Another week and I'll have to start school. Tomorrow's Christmas. It is suppose to be a day to be jolly. Well, not for me. My heart won't rest worrying until I confirmed what's the final result.

I called my mom. I know she'll be upset about it. She did.

A couple of tears fell down my cheek. I still could not believe I FAIL!

My mom suggested that I call my lecturer. So I did. He told me he wanted to check the result out but the Admin was away at that time.

"Sir, I'm not sure about my result yet cause the computer's down but there's a rumour going on about the failures and I'm on it."

He went speechless for a minute or two then he confirmed again with me. All he said was he was shocked and asked my not to worry too much. After all, if I did fail, I can't do anything else but to re-sit.

All I could do now is wait for the stupid Admin's computer to get better and confirm my result; fail or not. I'm so restless!!

Could I return this present back to Santa? I don't want it! :..(
