Disasters of Brazil

Chapter 15

Examination

The constant mental block was wrong timing. Sumakit ang kapira-pirasong brain cells ko sa utak ko nang makita ang questions sa exam. I have no idea how to solve it. Parang walang silbi ang natutunan ko kay Matt no'ng nakaraan. Nagets ko naman ang tinuro niya pero ngayon, nawala lahat sa utak ko ang mga tinuro niya.

Fuck,
Fuck,
Fuck.

1. In the figure below AB and CD are perpendicular to BC and the size of angle ACB is 31°. Find the length of segment BD.

Matt says that it's easy to solve but it's not for everyone. Not like a stupid dumb bitch Roberta can solve this shit. 

I pressed my fingertips on the table as my anxiety rises. This Math Examination is killing me. I have no plans na bumagsak. I'm a consistent honor student when I was in Brazil. Is this part of my culture shock? The Examinations are harder than in Brazil?

I click my tongue due to my frustrations. I gaze at Matt and he was continuously answering, writing on his paper like he knows all the answer.

Please, Matt I need your brain right now.

Just now,
just now,
please.

Andi was flipping her hair with all those exaggerations. She was throwing her hair back and forth. Most of the classmates in our class was getting distracted by her hair flipping motion. 

I still have an hour to answer this exam. First part palang ako pero nasa acceptance stage na ako kaagad! Halos mangiyak-iyak na nang isolve iyon. 

I bit my fingernails at hindi ko namalayan na pudpod na ito at nakakalbo na. I scratch my hair to the point that my hair went messy. I looked so crazy. I was panicking with everything I see. The time.

"50 minutes," our proctor says.

Shit,
shit,
shit!

10 minutes later, informations start to enter my head. A smile formed on my face as that information entered. I started to solve and remembered everything Matt taught me. Naalala ko rin ang mga ni-google ko bago ako mag-exam. Hindi lang ako sure kung tama ang mga ni-google ko.

Put the equation in terms of one function of one angle.Write the equation as one trig function of an angle equals a constant.Write down the possible value(s) for the angle.If necessary, solve for the variable.Apply any restrictions on the solution

After the examination, I went to Matt with a sad face formed on my face. What if I fail? Ugh!

"Why are you sad my friend?" he asked with a worried expression on his face.

I bit my lower lip and swallow a gulp on my throat. "I forgot what you taught but I think I remembered it?" I say, not being sure of my words.

"It's okay," he smiled and patted my head.

I blushed again.

Blush,
blush,
blush.

Why does he keep on doing these things? Smiling at me, patting my head, he just gives so much comfort and good energy on my daily life. 

"If you fail, you fail. If you pass, edi pumasa ka." He says, "gano'n lang 'yon Roberta." He explains the sighing.

"I don't want to fail." I shook my head.

"Bahala na," he said then grabs his bag on the floor.

Why did he change mood all of a sudden? Did I say something wrong? Bakit biglang gano'n mga sinasabi niya?
