I'm not a CPA, I'm an engineer

I hate accounting. Really. Yes, it involves numbers just like major engineering courses but it's just different. There's too many rule, too many things to remember.

This is my last term in PGDM and my subjects are Business Communications and Financial Accounting. Honestly, I dread accounting. Even during college, I already had a hard time with the balance sheets and the income statements. I am so scared of accounting that I cannot dare to be absent in class. But that's all the effort that I do for this course.

My books are only opened once a week - during class. I have never studied for a quiz or an exam. In fact, I believe I failed that 2 quizzes that we had. I usually space out during lectures that Thea has to whisper, "Maan, listen!" Then I would answer, "Huh? Galing mo ah. Alam mo na di ako nakikinig." In clas, I space out for 30 minutes or so and try to listen for the next hour and then when the professor pauses even for a split second, I say in a loud voice, "Break, break!" Then we would go for a 30-minute break. Then I start listening for the remaining hour.

This has been the pattern for each and every accounting class. Thus it was a BIG SURPRISE when our Midterm Exams were given to us and I GOT THE HIGHEST GRADE!

I got 76/85! 9 mistakes! Truthfully, I wanted to talk to our professor about my exam because I think that there were portions which I should have gotten a perfect score. But what the heck! I also have to say that the other person who got a 76 is my good friends, Sarah, who is a CPA! Woohoo!!! The great thing about it is that I DIDN'T STUDY AT ALL!!!

Oh well. There's still half of the term. I think our group needs to do one more reporting. There are still a handful of quizzes which I need to pass and there's also the Final Exam. I am hoping that this is not just luck.

Very talkative, very frank to the point of being tactless. Major hyper active and super kulit. Tampuhin, selosa and madalas may topak. Psychotic but bearable most of the time. Pakialamera. Addicted to those excel quizzes and surveys forwarded through e-mail. Have learned how to say no to FREE FOOD and resist the temptation of buffets. Listens to The Morning Rush with Chico and Delamar and is a major fan of Sex and the City. Fiercely loyal to friends (especially the under dogs). Can't dance, can't sing, can't act but very OA (Outstanding Actress). Doesn't smoke, drink nor do drugs but definitely a great girl to hang out with (sagot ko na ang kwento). Cynical on the outside but a hopeless romantic deep inside. Tries not cry over a guy but will shed buckets of tears while watching a movie. Escapes from the real world by reading books, watching movies,and tv shows. Dreams of travelling the world someday and joining The Amazing Race with a friend who knows how to swim, ride a bike and drive a car.
