Hell week before Christmas
I really despise the teachers who cram before Christmas break in giving exams and all sorts of submission and stuff. I understand that they don’t want us to be busy during the break if ever they will be postponing it next year. Fine, but they should have had done it earlier. Well, if they’ll be reading this, I know that they will be blaming all the holidays. Still, shouldn’t they care for the students who seemed to be having a finals week before the Christmas, kahit pamasko man lang? In my case, it has been a hell one. Darn.
I have had my math exam last week, for 2 days. And it has gone so bad. This week, I have an everyday exam. Firstly, I have taken the history exam last Monday. It’s really tiring, I have stayed at Mocha blends last Sunday para lang makapag-aral ng maayos. Imagine that I have read the Pigafetta article and other 20+ pages each reading! But guess what? It didn’t help much. Basta.
On the same day, we had the caroling practice, which was postponed since we’re all busy for the org works. Not only that, around past 6.00, thank God Chris accompanied me to DV, to get the AMS shirts. Argh, sobrang hassle. We commuted the 200 shirts to Ateneo coz we could hardly get a cab, sobrang traffic kasi and pasaway yung mga taxi sa pag-over price. Imagine my lean body carrying a bag in each hand containing 50 shirts each. Darn, I still have an exam the next day! I arrived home at around 10.00 and felt exhausted so I went to sleep right away.
The next day, it’s my Theo exam. I woke up with extreme muscle pains that prevented me from attending my 2 morning classes. So how’s my exam? Not bad, hopefully, kahit na I’ve only studied for 2 hours. Dami rin kasi readings and you have to memorize a lot of theological terms. My mind’s about to give up that time. Quite unforgettable feeling. Again, it’s caroling practice pero postponed. Toni and I waited there until 6.00 pero nothing came. Kung may dumating, too late na. Hay…
After 6.00, I accompanied Toni to Gateway. We just dined in, then I left her with Kuya Sonny as they went to SM afterwards. I arrived home before 9.00pm and I started contemplating on my philo exam. Grabe, it’s really philosophically hard to grasp. Shit. From 9.00pm until 8.00am, I sat in front of the computer trying to dissect the concepts and then understand. Career-in ba? Hindi rin. I wasn’t able to make a superb one, as usual. Hay, another sleepless night. Well, it’s due pa naman by 5.00pm pero I don’t want to risk cramming it, like what I have been doing last semester. Besides, we have a caroling drag rehearsal since its carol time in the evening.
I made my way to my first class that day (it’s Wednesday) since we’re going to have a problem set. I felt so drowsy, floating in the air. I was wearing this pink AMS shirt, but I couldn’t match its joyful aura. Oh well.
We had fun singing carols to 5 houses at Marikina. Kahit na 5 houses lang, we’re able to earn a lot. Thanks to everyone who sang with us! AMS owes you one! Congrats!
Snoozing. Lethargic. Somnolent.
I stayed at Toni’s condo over night, once again. And once again, may nagulat nanaman hindi nga lang si Isel. Haha.
Toni, it’s gonna be your big day tomorrow. Sweet dreams.
