Failed, again.
Sunday July 29th, 2007 @ 11:26 p.m.
Ahmed El-Sab3 sent me a personal message on our community board, shabasheb.com Discussion Forums, asking me how I did with my results (apparently they were out last Wednesday but I didn’t hear from anybody who was supposed to let us know once they were out). The thing with most people that irritates me very much is the fact that they don’t like to deliver bad news, like they were the reason behind it! You’re only doing a favor! Duh! Anyway, the fact that the Dean didn’t call to tell us how I did whilst we were all here (in Kuwait) waiting anxiously for them was quite a bummer, given that he was quite a close friend of my dad’s.
Ahmed offered to go to the university the next day to check it out for me. I thankfully asked him to do so, and couldn’t get to sleep that night.

Ahmed had called me 4 times whilst I was asleep (I couldn’t help myself, I was extremely tired around 8 so I drifted off to sleep) and I was even more nervous when I woke up, that he was calling and all (you know, I was just about to get my results the first thing in the morning!). Anyway him calling was kind of a relief because I was getting used to the don’t-tell-em-if-it’s-bad-news policy, so I rejected his call and rushed out to my fathers mobile to call him back (I wasn’t going to call an international phone call from my mobile phone, no way!) and get the news after all. Well, I failed. The phone call I don’t remember much of, I was in shock I failed again! I really had to pass this year! So many things were dependent on it! :rawr: rabena w 7ekmeto b2a.
After I went off the phone with him, I told my parents, and immediately went back to sleep.
Me failing this year will definitely make serious changes to the way my life was turning out to be, after all, it’s obvious civil engineering is not the right choice for me. I’m coming back to Egypt on August 7th, we’ll see then.
