Navigating School Life after the Storm

Iciah here, everyone! I'll be sharing about our resumed face-to-face midterm examinations for our major subject.

Our instructor decided to divide our section by batch, and I belong to the first batch, which was scheduled for 7:30 in the morning. It's so early, and I was kind of confused about whether to go since it had been raining so hard since last night.

Since the rain wasn't pouring as hard anymore, I decided to grab my bag and go to school. Thankfully, I was able to ride the free 01K ride. During the ride, the rain poured super hard, and I was kind of sad because our campus might flood since it's prone to flooding.

As I arrived on campus, I noticed the pile of sticky soil outside, maybe due to the recent typhoon that struck Cebu. My friend arrived early since she was worried about the heavy rain she might face during her ride.

We waited for a while since it was raining so hard. Until our instructor chatted in our GC that maybe we had to cancel the exam since it was raining so hard. I'm like, "Ms., sayang naa nmn mi ari oi" (which means "we came here for nothing" in Cebuano) -- kidding, I didn't respond like that. I informed her that some of the first batch had arrived already, and maybe we could take our exam.

Our exam went well, and I'm thankful for my exam result even though it was a bit harsh. Upon exiting the room, the rain was still pouring hard, and we were sad about the possibility of flooding, but thankfully, it didn't happen.

The campus seems to look fine after the calamities that happened, but still, everyone must stay alert and safe. The academic battle has resumed already, and it's that time of the year where students face devastating days.
