It was an agonizing forty-eight hours of waiting for the exam results, today was finally the day! after long nights of reviewing and memorizing, it all boils down to this specific moment.

I spent hours pacing back and forth in front of my laptop, checking from time to time if the university page has posted the LSAT Results.

" Lord please please please! "

I'm not overly religious but desperate times, call's for desperate prayers.

Totoo pala yung sinasabi nila na kapag sobrang kaba mo sa exam results, lahat ng pwede mong ipangako sa diyos ay ipapangako mo pumasa ka lang.

" Promise hindi na po tuwing pasko lang ako mag sisimba, tutulong na din po ako sa mga chari-"

I heard the familiar ping of the notification from my laptop

Oh God! it's here.

Nag sign of the cross pa ako bago tuluyang lumapit sa laptop ko.

I swear I felt my heart drop a few inches from my rib cage, ngayon lang talaga ako nakaranas ng ganitong klase ng kaba, hindi naman ako kinakabahan nung highschool at college kapag bigayan na ng grade pero ngayon para akong nililiyaban ng buhay.

Breath Ali! positive thoughts, deep breaths! you got this girl!

I hurriedly clicked on the refresh button and waited for what feels like an eternity for it to finish loading.

" You got this Ali, pasado yan " I kept
whispering the affirmation over and over to myself.

The website finally loaded and there, on the screen flashed my answered prayer.

- Congratulations Ms. Alejandra Lopez Veloso!

Holy shit! I did it!

I PASSED, I'M OFFICIALLY A LAW STUDENT!

Halos magkanda dapa ako sa di maintindihang pag talon at pag sigaw

" Thank you! Thank you! " I shouted full of happiness

In the middle of my mini celebration, I suddenly remembered my other agenda.

I immediately clicked the link to the Acceptance List, time to see if that arrogant Ellio passed the exam or if my ranking is higher than his.

Out of eight hundred examinees, only one hundred fifty were accepted. I scrolled through the list of names, eager for vindication, I am so gonna show that entitled son of a devil! ako pa talaga ang sasabihan nito na baka hindi maka pasa sa entrance exam ah.

Ellio Montevilla, prepare to be humbled by Alejandra Veloso.

" 150- Ledesma Inez A.             80.75

109- Ruiz Joseph M.                   80.70

090- Corpuz Arthur R.               80.64

080- Fortus William S.               80.25

070- Ng Naomi Zoe P.                 81.50

060- Palmero Dorothea N.        81.00 "

His name still isn't showing up? looks like someone was over confident, I continued scrolling with a deep sense of satisfaction when I still couldn't see his name.
