my exam started today, after a weekend of uncertainty of whether i would be able to sit for it. you see, the powers that be at IGS decided, at the last minute, to bar those who did not pay the tuition fees for the semester. actually, it sounds quite fair, if they were to impose it at the beginning of the semester, or at the mid term exam, in fact. but nothing about barring students until early last week, so of course, i was pissed, and worried at the same time.

according to the grapevine, if students couldn't pay RM5,000 by the time exam week commences, they will need to pay it before the 12th, in time to take the make up exam. either way, it's still a major setback to me... i couldn't afford RM5,000 until at least... oh, i don't know... the end of next year? and there's rumor about them reducing the payment to RM1,000... but we still couldn't find that much money under a week. so my dad came to the college today, 30 minutes before my first paper, and told a staff at the bursary department that he could only pay a few hundred by the middle of the month, and he explained that we're under a really tight situation.

so the bursary took our case into consideration, and i get to sit for my exam in time. and my first paper ended just 15 minutes ago.

[the thing is, they can actually take all the cases into consideration, coz really now, 5k within a week? are you fucking nuts!?!]

the verdict? i wish i could've sit for the 12th december make up paper.

haih. ciao people. and remember, when studying for your exam, don't always rely on the simplified notes your lecturer warned you not to rely on. i should know.
