Well I actually ended up joining at the last minute because I couldn't think of a song. I guess not knowing what's going to happen with me and the graduate program is really messing with my head. Now that it's almost a foregone conclusion that I'll fail and be out of the program, it hurts more than I expected. The coordinator still hasn't called us or made an announcement, so we'll just have to wait and see.
Hello, everyone in the HIVE OPEN MIC community! It’s
here, and this time I’m participating in Week 319, titled “Forever and Ever.” I didn’t want to leave this post until the last minute—I always try my hardest to post on time each week, but this time I slipped up and didn’t want to let you down. I hope to stay on schedule from now on, for real. Graduate school exams are in full swing—this is really driving me crazy—and I’m also working on my thesis, though I’m still a bit lazy. I’m reminded that I was given the opportunity to continue this graduate program in Marine Biology, so I need to keep pushing myself. After all, I want to earn this master’s degree, and maybe now I’ll finally fall in love with the marine field. I think the song I chose ended up being super romantic. To be honest, I never really bothered to learn it by heart, but it wasn’t until now that I read and pieced together a lot of the lyrics I had in my head. The song is one of the most beautiful by the Puerto Rican singer Kany Garcia, and it’s titled “Para siempre.” I didn’t want to keep thinking about whether another song might come to mind; I’m happy with how my choice turned out for this week. I definitely needed to do this—maybe it’s dedicated to my love for biology during my undergraduate studies, which focused on terrestrial plants, so it seemed fitting.

I hope this is just karma catching up with me for all the times I said I hated marine biology, and now that I’m studying it, I hate it three times as much—but please, don’t kick me out of the graduate program. As I’ve explained in previous posts, failing one more course would mean I’d be out of the program for good, and now that I only have two elective courses left, that would hurt way too much.
All we can do is wait and see what the graduate program coordinator—who’s currently traveling—has to say. Maybe there’s still an elective left to finish that I know I’ve already passed; the only thing that was giving me trouble was that course that, according to the professors, I barely failed. My friend, who took it with me, did a little worse, but if by some miracle I get another chance, I’m sure she will too.
I try to let all the things in my life flow, I might try to force everything a little bit, like with the Marine Biology postgraduate course or trying to be constant in Hive, but whatever ends up turning out, I know I will know how to accept it. Grateful for all the good things that have happened to me and the bad things that I have gotten rid of, for your support, I hope you also visit my other posts, good luck with your content and see you next week.
