Redefense!

Immediately after my dad's party, I resumed working on the Thesis. The next day is the dreaded re-defense.

One o'clock. Two o'clock. Three o'clock. The time winded down until it was time to go! The redefense was at 1pm and I still had to print the docu.

But wait, something is still missing. Erick's final program revision and Dom's portion of the docu! Fuck!

So I went to PIA to wait for Dom. Erick decided to go straight to UST nalang after sending in (late) the program. After Dom finished her test cases, it was already 11:30am! We need to print, ASAP!

The day before, I asked my mom na kung pwede paki-ready na for printing yung printer niya sa office. She told her secretary. So yun, nag-iwan pa ng trouble shooting tips yung secretary niya.

After I pressed print, PUTA... WALA NANG INK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tapos yung inventory room nila, naka-lock since it was a Saturday! Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!

So went on the other room to use the printer there. It took us a while to find the master switch para bumukas yung electricity! Then halfway while printing, nag-loko na yung printer dun!! When I looked at my watch, it was already 12:45pm!! It can only mean one thing: we're fucked!

We decided to rush to UST nalang and try to print the missing documents sa Carpark nalang. And putek, the taxi that we got was sira! As in ang ingay kasi may topak yung makina, tapos mas mabagal pa sa prosisyon yung takbo!

During this time, I really felt like crying na! Hahaha! Kung may maitutulong lang ang iyak. Haha. I decided to talk to the taxi driver nalang just to take away my mind off the stress.

It didn't help either that Erick kept texting us: "Oi sina ma'am nagmamadali na... aalis na daw... bilisan niyo... ekekekekekekek..."

We finally got to UST, mga 1:30pm na! We rushed straight upstairs, and our panels are nowhere to be found. There is no room for the defense, and the panels are nowhere to be found... fuck.

But I refuse to lose again. I rushed straight to the Eng Office and ask for a classroom to hold the defense. I eventually got the room on the fourth floor. All this while Dom and Erick are trying to search for the panels.

We finally got Ma'am Mich and Ma'am Pearl together. Sir Dota was nowhere to be found... yun pala may grad school so he asked kung pwede 3pm nalang. I think it was already 1:45pm na. Then the defense immediately started.

I was really thankful that we had Dale on our side during all that. Dale was probably the x-factor that day, naks! Haha! He bought the food for the panel while we were defending and assisted us with everything that we needed for the defense. I was really really thankful that my "nigga" was with us that day! :)

Rio also came around during Sir Dota's turn for defense. :)

Back on the defense, everything went well! We finally got all those revisions that they asked us last time. We were also thankful that the panel was very understanding during that time. Dba nga we weren't able to print most of the docu because of printing woes... pumayag sila na kahit sa laptop softcopy nalang namin pinakita yung kulang. :)

At the end of the day, we were very happy na wala nang re-defense at minor revision nalang sa docu yung kailangan! :)

Afterwards, we all went home. I slept a little while since wala pa talaga akong tulog. After a while, alis ulit kami ni Dale onwards to Maki's house! Buti maayos pa yung drive ko! Hahaha! Anyhoo, I was so happy that night... plus telling my friends the good news was extra extra great! :)
