This isn't a big deal, but I'm a worrywart so...

• My Kuya Flloyd went on to announce that I was still running for Latin honors when I graduate. Mother heard this and is fond of the idea of it.
• This semester, I received a grade of 2.50, which means I can no longer qualify for said honors.
• Mother is generally lax when it comes to grades. She expects me to excel, but it's not that big of a deal. I guess she just sees all my potentials, and she won't like me to not push myself to my limits.

Why I won't tell her I can't qualify now

• All just so she could properly "punish" me even if she doesn't care all that much.
  • All my sembreak plans will be ruined.
  • The Arctic Monkeys gig in Melbourne would be impossible.
  • She'll be meaner.
  • She'll be breathing down my neck all semester.
• She won't know anyway if I didn't tell her.
• If I told her in March, it would be a small flaw in the bigger picture: I graduated!
• If I got another 2.50 next semester, I'll show that instead of the 2.50 now because the 2.50 now will be worth nothing anyway.
• She'll be less mean to me after knowing in MARCH because
  • I'd be starting board exam review then
  • And Ninang Viv (her bestfriend) is coming back in the country for a vacation. She'll be preoccupied

I TOLD HER. THE END.
