At last..or so we thought...

Our OTP batch just had our next level final written exam yesterday...and today (Tuesday), we just finished our revalida. It was such a scary experience... The wait...the trying-to-get-everything-in-your-head feeling...some felt like they haad to vomit...i felt like my head was aching real bad. I'm so thankful that I got a merciful panel...in short, I passed...but the sad part is that I have two other batchmates who were told by the HR coordinator that they didn't pass. :( it was weird because both of them knew that more or less they were able to answer the questions of their panel. And the thing about both of them is that the panel that didn't pass them is only one group panel...Whoa. It was a shock to all of us. We waited for them in our room at the 14F while they were at the HR floor at the 5F. In time, we grew tired of staying there that we all headed to the 5F to wait. As mentioned by my batchmate, Awin, it was like waiting for a baby delivery...or better yet, an operation. We were all waiting outside, hoping things would turn out right. And when one of the officers they were appealling to came out, he told us that it was a final decision and all we could do was comfort them. It was a sad time for us. When we saw them crying and all that. It was like a chain breaking. We're all so close already! I mean, this is the final stage and this happens? We all can't believe it. We were all thinking already about graduating complete and having the President be our grad speaker... Suddenly, we were all fearing not just got our two batchmates, but also for ourselves, the written exam. Everything seemed so shaky and the group's confidence absolutely went down. Hopefully by tomorrow we can appeal and hopefully, things would turn out well for ALL of us.... If anyone is reading this, I ask for you to please pray for us....
