The plot twist I didn't ask for

I thought going back to school was the hard part.
Yeah… turns out I was wrong.

Today I found out I got an F in economics and basically a D in Spanish.
Not “oops, could’ve done better.” No. Full academic disaster mode.

And as if that wasn’t enough, I found out something even worse: if I miss two more hours of this afternoon course I’m taking, I automatically don’t get admitted to finals. Which basically means I fail the year. Just like that.

Two. More. Hours.
My entire year hanging by two hours.

I don’t know what hit harder — the F, the D, or the way they casually said, “If you go over the limit, you can’t take the exam.”

I feel like I’m walking on the thinnest wire ever and it’s starting to shake. I’m trying not to spiral, but today? Today was rough.

Still here though. And I guess as long as I’m still here, it’s not over.
