this week was filled with lots of deadlines. and yeah, i was caught, and i'm dead.

pat and i spent the whole week running from our 'nemesis' (not really, we interviewed the guards), and not even trying, at least, to write the two articles, one of which i thought to be titled Engineering imposes tighter security measures, with the subtitle To lessen crimes (or whatever) [but really...??]. hayy...

i also had a lot of (ahem...) meetings which imposed MORE deadlines. sharra told me yesterday that i should call at least FEATI about the inter-u thingy because the deadline for metro manila schools is TODAY. so, after my es 26 (=fun) class, i called up FEATI, and had a short 'marketing' talk with the director [not really, because, she agreed almost instantly]. also, i had been designated (unluckily) [with Nicole] by ate raissa to head the room to room activities for the next four days. [to invite people to come to Depsem, giordano sale and Orsem] this is not exactly a deadline. but basically, that's how it works.

on the deeply saddening part, i was a bit depressed for some days, mainly at night. (i don't know, i just feel it). but i was most depressed a while ago. i received my first plate (checked!) in es 1. i got a 9.4 out of 10, which i was most proud of (like shouting it at the rooftops). and most people told me, mababa pa nga yan e, and i was s disheartened. i was believing in myself, and thinking, ah, kaya ko pala yung es 1 eh.. but then, reality is much more important. so, let's see... [aaaa...masakit!!] (harsh! if someone got an 80++ on a really excruciating exam, and i told him, mababa pa nga yan e.. di ba? masakit...) but don't mind me, i'm an emotional moron...

i will get what i deserve naman e.

and that is not a 5.00 in ChE 32. promise, i will devote most of my energy (and in cases of emergency, charm) in doing my best, not just to pass, but with flying colors.

ge 1 is really not a very good subject, at this point. it's very vague and confusing and-- (yeah, you get what i mean).

hayy.. all i talk about is these acads or org stuff.. sorry, i'm not really into some tv show now, or some song.. but a book, yeah. i am reading Totto-Chan. it is a story (so far) of a girl who went to a different school, where children learn as how they want to learn. it's like a thesis about education, but literary.

hayy... i have to email mam gene (wonderful professor in ene 31) about the ppt presentation and her profile. *sigh*

first week

the first week was great, actually. i got enlisted in the only es 1 class allowed in my schedule, which was lucky. then, i get good teachers this sem--especially in es classes.

i got sir oca in es 13, which is pretty much a 'good' teacher. es 26 is my favorite class (for now). aside from having pat, lou, weene, julie pearl and glecy for classmates (and the die bitch, die bratinella girl), sir hilario sean (whattaname!) is not too bad, for a new teacher. i hope i'll have loads of fun in es 26..

on the dark side, im really not sure if i'll like es 1 and che 32. but as of now, im very sure that ge 1 will be a lot boring as i imagined it, except maybe for our outdoor activities. geog 1--> help! i don't know anybody, well except the teacher (uhmm..my undergraduate degree is geography, and my masters is (are ba?)...(drum roll) geography! sheesh!). but then, i'll eventually know somebody, since it requires some group work.

i still have loads to do (i mean pat and i) on our logscript articles.. thank God i finally got to sir happy (which made us sad-->cheap, corny) after a week of appeal lines and "oh, he'll come by at 11:30 munching his before-lunch, after-brunch snack". no wonder he's "horizontally challenged" [ugh! bitter...] but the truth is, it's even harder because even though it's our first article, byron deides to put it on the front page. too much pressure. and we haven't even interviewed the 7pm-7am shift security guard..

because of my overwhelming stupidity and forgetfulness (or maybe i think too much of things i shouldn't think of), i forgot so many things this week. first, i forgot (for 2 days in a row) to bring the books which i have to return: martin's es 11 book, and clarene's sociology book. i forgot to bring home the sample exam i have to re-type (sorry ate shally!), but i will type it on monday, in up. i keep forgetting what am i supposed to bring the following day for my classes. i forgot our room in es 13 last friday. and i forgot all the rest of those i forgot.

we moved (sigh!) to the new, bigger (i'm not saying better) house, 5 giant steps away from our previous house. it was pink inside, and smelled of paint. it had small dining area space, and a hideously-tiled comfort room (the one with the bowl). the bath was much better. and the sleeping space (the rooms) were a lot spacious than before. doodz didn't like the house at all. shie like the house, and wanted to stay. the rest, well, i suppose i didn't hear them comment.

woohoo..depsem na! malapit na! go depsem peeps!

the freshies were great. i attended their welcome assembly at the up theater. i got in because i looked like a freshie. same old program. but we got a lot of freshies in our block handling thingy. lots of fun.

**ugh! a fly is circling me! how did it get in?!? shoo!**

please let me pass es 1!!! im so scared... please.. 8D

i broke my cellphone's housing. there was a crack at the monitor or screen or whatever. so, i have to buy a new one. simple as that. no tears shed.

i have to buy a calculator. or i'll die. [wahaha]

i enrolled (paid) last thursday. lucky, there was NO line. i finished in about 20 minutes (my ID countersigned, form 5 photocopied).

why-upa peeps: remember, don't stop flushing till it's ALL gone. di ba popo?

getting a class

"this is by far the worst day of my life!"
-pat

actually, yesterday was the worst day in her life, according to her..

luckily, it wasn't mine. [im baaad..] after drawing numbers for 3 es subjects, es 1 (no. 19), es 12 (no. 1390) and es 26 (no. 118), i was enlisted in a 'mercy' es 26 class opened yesterday.. i would have been plain happy on this, but i am more than euphoric!! i even jumped up and down amidst the engg peeps waiting in the es enlistment 'zoo'. but that was after i nearly cried when the es 1 enlistment started at no. 1400++ and the es 12 enlistment started at no. 6 (i think). so happy now (i have 18 units now...)

i enlisted in GE 1 (geodetic eng'g) which i hope i won't regret...haaayy..

in response to a comment: in reality, we are all conditional friends, we love our friends that's why we see them as perfect. and that's not bad at all. it's not ideal... it's real.. ;D

last day of vacation

i was to write this yesterday, a few hours ago, but i decided i must enjoy it first--as its the last day. actually, it's not the last day of vacation, because i yhave until june 7. but i have to work (researching) and enroll (which is damn hard) for the next few days. plus, we have to move our things two doors to a much much bigger house in knl (actually we're not changing address, funny how that works out).

so, my 11 days of remaining vacation was more or less spent in plain, not exciting entertainment. i might have watched at least 5 films from HBO or star movies or other channels (including ABSCBN which showed Milan). one particular film featured michael j fox (tama ba?) in a disney(?) film. it was great! hehe.. i also finished 2 reality shows. both disappointing for me. one, the amazing race, in which uchenna and joyce won (they were great, actually) but i thought from the start that rob and amber would win (their 2nd million dollars). the other, american idol, in which carrie won (amazing girl!) but i was a vonzell fan from the start. actually, when vonzell was eliminated, i wanted bo to win. maybe because carrie beat vonzell 'as a girl'.. but then, i knew carrie would win, even though i prayed for bo. i did not quite follow search for the star in a million, but i hoped jerome would win, as jeromes are winners..(hahaha)

the rest of the time was spent eating or sleeping (i usually wake up at 10-11 am, take naps the rest of the afternoon)or the internet. or studying. (i had summer classes)

i met my grade school classmate, carmela (she was the salututorian) am i meeting my gs classmates down the honor roll?? hehe... but she remembered me (she hasnt changed a bit, except for her height) and we exchanged smiles..twice.. (this happened in ateneo, she's a student there).

well, that's not all that's happened this summer, but i'm tired.. wanna sleep now.. besides, i have a hearing to go to tomorrow.. (imagine, my first hearing (at court))
