Look At The Sunny Side Of Life

Hello there! So this will be the official start of my journal. Entitled, lesson for the day. I decided to put it that way so I would try to do my best to look for the morale lesson in my ordinary everyday life.
Yesterday, we got the result for our AUSAT exam. It's a kind of exam where every incoming fourth year students would have to take for a day. It's a mock board exam that prepares us for the future architectural board exam. It consist of 16 subjects and categorized into 6 parts.

Sadly, no one passes the said exam completely in one take. Even if it's only a mock exam, it's one of our academic requirements to get our "Research Method in Architecture" (RMA) subject for this incoming school year.

Mostly, my classmates managed to pass 2 subjects out of 6. I, on the other hand, only managed to pass one subject and unluckily, one of my exam paper was trashed because the computer had an error (it was an automated exam) saying I didn't shade something about my student number

Instantly, my efforts were all put in the garbage. How could I make a mistake like that? I've been taking automated exam for 3 years and I never had a problem like that. They didn't even tried to manually check it.
Worse is, I'm not the only one who had a problem like that. There are also other who had the "same error" as mine. So automatically, we have to take the subject we failed. So for next month, I have to retake 5 subjects.

I was pretty bummed the whole day. All I did was sleep and sleep and eat. Yeah, that's how I reduce my stress, annoyance or anything, but fat.

Then something happened, suddenly I got tired for being a self loathing person. Just because I wasn't able to manage to pass a lot of subjects (I'm not expecting to pass all the subjects) doesn't mean I would just give up. I still have a chance. We could still have a retake.

I can't give up and I can't fail this time either, or else, I wouldn't be able to take the RMA subject.

So Lesson For Today?

Look at the Sunny Side of Life.

I might have it bad but still, I have a month to prepare myself for the retake. On our first take of this exam, we only had a week to prepare. So the sunny side? I have a month to review. So what if I only had one subject managed to pass. At least I passed, there are others who didn't pass a thing.
I should be really thankful for that.
