this is not my day...
i had the worst day today. in english class we had this oral activity in connection to our current lesson which is pubLic speaking. Anyway, we were supposed to stand up in front of the whole class and report a current issue and present it as if you really were a newscaster. i was uber ready. i memorized every word by heart. And with that i mean i really prepared for it because i know ill be able to do it with pride, confidence, and all that crap. anyway... i was so prepared that when i practice i knock myself out not knowing i can actually be a newscaster someday bacause i sounded like i was about to replace mel tiongco on "24 oras". my point?! i sounded great! humility aside, i really did sound great. I don't know what is it about my Ebglish teacher that whenever a student gets up to the platform they suddenly forgot everything they memorized. well.. i watched my classmates stutter and shake themselves off. i watched each one of them waiting for my turn.. i thought my teacher forgot that i was in that section. anyhow, i was so psyched to perform because i know ill be able to do it better than anyone else. argh! i was 2nd last student to perform. with my head up high, my mind ready, my mouth begging to open and the words fighting to come out, i stood at the platform knowing i wouldn't mess anything up beacuse, as i've said im prepared, well things didn't go as expected. i started my report with "This is the Breaking News!" and the end started. i forgot the first line! i can see my classmates faces with amazement. but when i forgot, they all burst out in laughter! to save my self from the humiliation, i laughed with them and i saw my backmate (the girl at my back--joshwyn) arranging my "kodigo" so that i'll be able to remember the lines i forgot. (im watching kyla's mtv right now.. the guy in the video is cute! the guy between the 2 guys who's playing the guitar. he's playing that shake-shake thing.. u know? like a maracas? if u happen to see the video.. go watch out from him.. he's really cute~! ^_^) as i prepared for my 2nd try and it happened again. i forgot the first line!!! is "president gloria macapagaL-arroyo" so hard to remember??? well at my 3rd attempt i made it and did it perfectly! as in its really smooth! (james blunt's your beautiful is playing) well, the whole thing was equivalent to 30 points so i expected to get something like 20 or 23.. well, i didn't even get near 20!! i got 16!! imagine???????? 16 out of 30?? that's mearly half of the score. apparently she thinks that i was too fats and that i didn't master my report. well excuse me miss?? but i know i deseve better than 16!!! i cried but i didn't let anyone know. (now i am!) i wasn't expecting a high grade but i wasn't expecting a grade like 16!!!! i felt so bad i didn't talk for the rest of the period. i didn't even look at her. i couln't.. i won't... ( how dramatic! haha)
