Woe is me...
I'm so depressed. I got my mid term marks last Monday and well they weren't that good. Actualy there were only 2 subjects that really made my grades look bad. Math (duh what's ner?) and Fil. My Fil grade really sucked coz we weren't expecting to get that low of a grade. I think he's basis for our grades is our recitaiton and those awful quizes about Balarila that he makes us take. So there, almost all of us just got a passing grade. But the mid term marks or advisory marks are really not a good basis on the probability of us students passing Ateneo. Sometimes te teachers just make up grades or just take the score of one test so they could present something for the release of marks. So okay, that wasn't really bad. I can still make good in the comming weeks and I jsut have to exert more effort in participating in my Fil class..
So, well that's not the only thing that made me so blue..lol...well last Monday again, my guy blockmates from english scolded me. Can you believe it? They were doing the tsking sound along with those knowing stares and head shakes. And all because of my recklessness..lol..in driving. My block mate told me that he followed me along Katipunan while I made the U turn in front of gate 3. They went beside me and tooted me (tooted?...whatever..hehehe) so that I could recognize them. But duh!!I was concentrating on the road and why the hell would I care if someone was pissed of with the way I was driving?...So they said I was a reckless driver, and the dead give away that the person driving was me was because of the stickers at the back of my car. Sure I know a lot of guys who have Ateneo stickers stuck on their cars. But have you ever seen a guy's car having a Power Puff sticker? Hell no!!! So they pin pointed immediately that the person driving was me..hehehe...sorry guys...

Agony...shear agony
Do you know the saying: " Your brain is turned into mush"? I believe I'm actually experiencing that phenomenon. I can feel my brain liquidating as of this moment. I think in a few minutes its going to shut down by itself and render me stupid. Its all because of math. I'm going to have my mid term test in math tom evening and its driving me insane. I have to do good in it because I totally screwed our last two exams. Sure sure..I'm only taking Math 12, the easiet math there is in Ateneo but believe me, the tests are not easy.
I think its because of my teacher. He's a sadistic S-O-B. Imagine only about 5 in my class got a good grade in our first test. Comparing it with the other classes wherein almost all of them get an A, my class totally sucks. So I have to study really hard for it, but the weird thing is even though you study ( seeing that the lesson is really easy ) when the test comes your totally dead. Another reason is because of the length of the equations and solutions needed in order to answer the problem
Back in high school, 2 matices are enough to eat up half of you time but in my class, were solving 3 - 4 matrices that are really long. So you see time is of the essence. But I dont think our professors know that.
*sighs* so there you have it, my agony for this day. Good thing I can go home before the test so atleast I could still study. But God!!! what good will it do?

An Adventure
Friday: I was really excited. My groupmates and I were going to Gateway that afternoon for our Feature Article in English. We are going to focus on the mall's Cineme. I have bever been there so I was giddy with delight because I will not only see the new place but I'm having a chance to shop!!! My block mate Issa, wanted to come with us although she wasn't part of the group. Unfortunately her class ends at 1130 while ours end at 1230
Fate or myabe God has other plans. My meeting scheduled at 1130-1230 was cancled. So I called her up and asked her if she still wants to join us. We were debating if we would go ahead since were going to waste an hour of shopping time waiting for my groupmates. I was in full agreement to go but there was this guilt in me because I was going to leave Vanny (my group mate) with my other group mate whom we really detest
So off we went, and it was really fun. We ride her car and arrived at Gateway in about 30 min. Gosh she is really fun to be with while in the mall. We shopped till our feet drop and waited for the others to come. But something happened. Vanny texted me saying that our other groupmates hasn't arrived yet and she doesn't have his num. Well I also didn't have it (bad.....) so I texted my other eng block mates looking for his num. It was then that this swet thing happened. Every one told me that they didn't know his num so I asked this one guy whom we're somewhat close if he could ask our other blockmates and help me find that damn number. Guess what he did look for it..AWWW....If he wasnt Chinese and if I just feel a little something for him I would have fallen (even Issa) for him a long time ago. I didn't know that chivalry still exist.
Okay so there, they arrived but we had this problem taking picutres of the place. Apparently it was not allowed. So we talked to the manager of the cinema who directed us to the marketing manager of the place. Can you believe all the trouble we went through just for picture?...Then when the guy found out we were from Ateneo, he was in total agreement for us to take picutres...After that Issa and I went shopping again. Then we went back to school because I left my car there and Issa will meet up with her group mates since they're going to Qiapo. I saw my math teacher from highschool in the campus, can you believe it? He looked like one of us...hehehehe
Saturday: NSTP day, it was the first time that we met the kids that we were going to teach. They were really cute but some where really shy. Later I found out that some of the kids that didn't participate in the activities we had was because they cant read and are ashamed for the others to see. It was really fun, we interacted and played with the kids although they kept forgeting what my name was (it was hard for them to prnounce it). After that my parens picked me up since my car needed repairs. So we went to Sta. Lucia to eat lunch that led to my going shopping again. It was sale, and those four letters make me hyperventilate and make me see different things lol...
Sunday: Now its sunday, I have to rest because I have a paper due tom and I also have a quiz in Botany. My agenda is going to church and coming back here because of that. I need to study because mid term week if finally here

Friday..
Gosh, we just came back from our Christmas vacation but it seems like we haven't been to one. Papers are due one each day and there are still more comming. Assingments are being given by truck loads and they are not easy to make. Plus there are the extra curricular activities such as orgs and the like. They're not a piece of cake. I'm just glad that my schedule permits me to do these things earlier so I could enjoy my time more
I'm really happy with the events that happened within this week although there are still minor glitches in my mood. Last Wednesday my prof in Botany returned our long test. I was really surprised because I got a relatively high grade. The test was a major pisser. The identification was okay, the essay was fine but it was really long but the multiple choice was a major disaster. She didn't each us those things so I just guessed the answers. Good for me that some of my answers were correct.
*Sighs* I dont think I could enjoy my weekend that much. I have to finish my paper in Lit (which is half done), do the poster , paragraph and description for Eng (which is so long) and finish my Botany home work (which agitates me because I cant find the last tissue!!!) But hey I do believe I'm doing things way ahead so I would porbably finish them in record time. Good thing we wont have NSTP tom because I still want to stay in bed and not wake up at 5 am.

Happy New Year
Wow a brand new year, a brand new start and a brand new adventure. I can't believe that the year is finally over and there' s a new one yawning in the horizon ( man!! sorry, studying lit!). But it only seems like yesterday when I first entered college, when I met my new set of friends and when I first encountered the grading system. And now I on the last phase of my freshman year and in a few months I'll turn 19!!! Yuck such an old soul already.
Oh well but since the year has laready started it also means that I have to go back to school again. Arrghh..I dont want to see the face of my Lit teacher and this paper I'm doing for Fil is pissing me off. Why is it that writing ing English is a piece of cake while making an essay in Filipino rattles the brain?
Damn, but I also want to go back so I could see my friends and catch up to what happened to them. Specially Marion, he was in Thailand when all hell broke loose. We were so worried but then we found out he was in Bangkok and not Phuket. But he tlod us that he felt the earthquake while he was in their hotel room. Neat!!
Shox, have to end this for now, have to do that damn paper..
