ām such a procrastinator that Iām about to finish my first year of college and I still havenāt finished writing chapter 5 of a fanfic I began in 2022 as Iām typing this. Well, itās not entirely my fault. School has just been keeping me busy lately. I took up Accountancy as my course and I knew it was gonna be hard but I didnāt know just how hard it was gonna be when I enrolled lmao. I was too used to not making an effort in school and still passing. I canāt do that anymore here. The first month of Accountancy was the hardest. As I mentioned, I was in STEM for 6 years. I actually wanted to take ABM as my strand in Senior High but unfortunately, public schools in my area did not offer it. And so I just took STEM since it was the closest to ABM. I remember the first day of school, after introductions our professor just went straight into lecture in accounting. He started with the basics, but only covered it for 3o minutes since everyone is expected to be an ABM student in class. I never regretted taking STEM as much as I did at that moment. Luckily, I half-heartedly studied accounting and Law for a week during summer so I understood some of what he was saying albeit very slowly. I was just too overwhelmed with the fact that everyone in class was so participative, already so knowledgeable, and raised their hands eagerly to answer his questions. I stalked their accounts before class so I knew everyone was smart, but it felt discouraging to see the knowledge gap between me and them. Many of them were the top of their class if not the top of their school. But college is fast-paced, no oneās going to spoon feed you lessons anymore unlike in highschool. The entirety of what ABM students studied in 2 years was covered in 1 month. I was overwhelmed at first but eventually managed. After that first month, there was barely any gap at all since all the new topics we were learning now were new even to the ABM students.

@onion-coupon Update: I passed. But I don't feel happy or relieved. Just an impending sense of doom. My friends whom I cherished a lot this year will be shifting programs. I'm an introvert so I keep my circle small but genuine. Knowing we'll be separated actually constricts my chest. Checked my last post from last year. All is well now with that problem I had. Hope I can say the same next year for this problem

They donāt even check our exams that fast. Now Iām waiting for the results that will determine my future. I donāt feel as affected now as I did when I took the Pre-Qualifying exams my organization offered. Those were actually impossible and I felt so helpless that my body felt heavy as lead. The exam took place from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 then from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m., the same as the actual AQE. Admittedly, I guessed most of my answers. Somehow, someway, I got Top 26 for the pre-qua. Top 3 for Conceptual Framework. I was sure I bombed the test but I continued on answering anyway. Iām 100% sure my actual scores arenāt that high, I just completed all the tests when most didnāt come in for the afternoon portion of the exam. Before I knew the results, I remember reconnecting with my old hobbies because I was so depressed and actively sought to touch grass to take my mind off the fact I had little chances of passing the AQE. I donāt wanna say that the actual AQE was so much easier in case I jinx it and humiliate myself with my overconfidence. But because most of the answers could be guessed, Iām sure that they will only pick a handful of those that passed. Whatever. There ends my rant. Hope all goes well on Monday.

Though Iām definitely not a genius and didnāt have the best grades, I still did better than the other ABM students. Iām quite proud at how fast I adapted.
Yesterday, April 25, 2025, all of the first year accountancy students just took the Accountancy Qualifying Exam which will determine whether we can proceed to 2nd year or not. The exam covered all the topics we learned in the year so far in Basic Accounting, Intermediate Accounting, Obligations and Contracts, Partnership Accounting, Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards, as well as Financial Statements preparation. They used to show the results privately in your AIMS account at the end of Endterm but suddenly the school reverted back to posting the names of those that passed on the bulletin board. They didnāt even wait for the end of the year, theyāre posting the results immediately on Monday (We took the exam on a Friday).
