A few weeks ago I wrote in my blog something about last year, how difficult it was, and how I got through that horrible term. I think you always have to live and face the great things and bad things in your life, otherwise it is not real, because you need to learn lessons of every experience, and it is told that the best ones are form bad times . However there are some times that you ask yourself if it is possible that such number of unfortunate events can take place in just one term...well, that was what happened to me last year.
The sixth and seventh term of Veterinary Medicine in this university is known for being one of the most difficult, because it is the first one with subjects that are directly related with the profession. Since I knew what was expecting me I was focused on studying the best way I could so I didn’t have to worry about failing, but unfortunately there were lots of problem in my family and that way I was not in my 100% academically, because my mind was the entire time thinking in my home.
The feeling of almost failing three subjects in just one term (the second of 2009) is something you can’t wish to anybody, even your enemies, but that was my situation. I have never failed any subject before and last year I had to give the 2nd chance exams in three of my six subjects. I consider myself as a fighter and I never give up for anything so that time was not the exception. I knew that dedicating all my time to study and having that as my reason to live was the only way to pass those subjects, but I couldn’t pass all of them. The worst part was that after a few days, I found out that the teacher eliminated some questions from the final exam, questions I had answered in a good way, and I got less point because of that (points that definitely would have been enough to pass).
After all that mess I took the subject I failed in last summer, I approved it with very good marks and this year I didn’t have any troubles academically or with my family, so I guess after the storm you can always expect the calm and that is just what happened. I only wish it lasts and that I will never have to live a term like that.
