January Blues

From yesterday's procession.

Just so you know, a lot of things happened this month. From smiles to tears, everything seems to be so mashed up.

***

In one of our exams, I was accused of communicating with my classmate via eye-to-eye contact. My classmate, on the other hand, was accused of staring at someone else's paper when in fact, he was only staring at his test paper. We were deeply hurt by such false accusations. To make things worse, our teacher automatically placed zero on our test paper even without hearing our side! When we approached her, she was mad hearing our side of the story because she's very much certain that she saw us cheating and she doesn't want to appear as the one making up stories! Of course, it was unjust on our part to get that kind of punishment.  As what she said, she doesn't want to judge us, but ironically, she did.

I know it's an unfortunate event for both my classmate and I, but we're confident that we're innocent and God knows we're telling the truth. What's the point of sleeping late at night and waking up early in the morning reviewing our notes when we'll only end up copying our classmate's answers?

This isn't actually the first time that a certain issue sprouted between our teachers and their students. Our teachers can be very abusive of their powers, especially on those students whom they despise the most.

P.S. My mom and sister knows about it and they were actually mad hearing the story, but then, they advised me not to make this issue worse. I'm aware that they're teachers and I'm merely a student, struggling to pass every subject I took this semester. If I continue fighting for justice, I'm sure they'll do some alterations on my grades due to their overflowing hatred towards me.

Forgive me for being melancholic, I just felt bad about that incident (who wouldn't anyway?) and for not being able to enjoy one of the biggest highlights for this year: Sinulog 2013! Screw midterm examination for taking such fun event from us, *** students!

But then, I'm willing to sacrifice temporary fun for a better future. It's alright, self. It's alright. At least, I was able to join the procession yesterday. :)
