graduates academic achievements are always based on the GPA system, which later indicates whether they made it to just "pass", "good", "very good" and excellent". According to my university's evaluation system, "Pass" starts from a gpa of 2.0 to 2.39, "Good" starts from 2.4 to 2.79, "Very Good" starts from 2.8 to 3.39 and finally "Excellent starts from 3.4 to 4.0. I think we all are familiar with such systems and we're all accepting it. However, sometimes we're just too close to a certain grade but we're like... well... what's happened has happened, but what do you think when ur gpa is 0.001 less than required to graduate with an average rating of "good"?
that's not a suspense movie! but it's actually what happened! Going to uni a few days ago, looking forward to get the grade of the second course i took this summer. First, i was thinking of a C+ or B- in worst cases, however, it turned out to be a C... just a C. Accordingly, i re-calculated the gpa based on the new result, and it's now 2.39413, which was expected to be saved ont he system as 2.39. I kept asking admins and supervisors here and there about my situation, while some were assuring me it's gonna be raised to 2.4, a few others didn't have a clue to start with. So i had no other option but waiting till the results are officially out, and it was 2.39 as I expected. Now it's like feeling ur the most unfortunate person on earth... well, i know i'm not that lucky kind of person, but not to the extent that 0.001 is separating me from graduating with "Good" for hell's sake! it's like OMFG (F here stands for friggin not the other F word!). Now it's how i hate such systems, especially with someone who's been getting A's and B's in the past 4 semesters, and A's in the summer courses. maybe i didn't study harder before, but i think i've got the penalty already not graduating with Very Good or Excellent and i was accepting Good instead. It's like something or s/one drooling at u saying: ur not graduating with anything but a plain "pass".
Me being agnostic, never beleiving in fate or higher hands controlling whatsoever in my life, was trying to think that it's all by a coincidence. It's still convincing enough for me, but still it's not! lol. I know it's me who's the reason for being in such a critical situation 'cuz i didn't give it enough effort in the first few semesters, but not to that extreme.

Who Am I?
welcome to my web page!
so that's a fast introduction of myself. I'm currently 23, live in Cairo, Egypt. I'm fresh graduate and lookin for a job like millions of ppl around here, but as i always say to myself: nothing harmful with being a bit optimistic!
In the future, i'm gonna post some of my poetry, prose, maybe short stories, and of course, my thoughts every now and then. I'm lookin forward to sharing some of our life experiences since I consider interaction is the best way for development and make a better place for all of us.
