Mayhem and [All That]

This past week was unbelievable.

It started out as a disaster. [most of them were]

Yup.

As usual, it was all because of my 'waking up' problem (especially on a monday morning). Hindi naman ako nagpuyat nun. Before midnyt tulog na ko. Pero ewan. Maybe the previous nights were horrible. So my energy was really drained out..until that sunday night.

The effect: a missed class. The worse part: it's BioStat.

Whoa. And i recently found out that my biostat prof is really INTO getting the attendace. She'd die for it! [joke]. No, really, she's into it. She could give a failing grade to someone who's really good in statistics but somewhat tardy. I still hope she's not. I'm worried because i also missed the previous meeting before this one. So all in all that was two consecutive absences. Wow. Strike two for me. No. Make that three, for all the times that i've been late... or, maybe three-and-a-half [is there such thing? ha ha] for all the quizzes that i haven't submitted ever since she gave one. OH NO... this is not good. Guyz help me naman o. :-)

That day was also a failure for me in physics (immediately after biostat).::: I didn't know that we had an assigment! Darn. Actualy i was also absent last time. And no one told me about that freakin' homework. I dont really blame my friends but... okay, okay. My fault. :-) Lesson learned: when planning not to go to school, always keep in touch, no matter what.

Tuesday was fine. It was fun actually, especially in my HumSt20 class. He he. Thanks to sith [the sit-in expert sa humst20]. The truth is, I [we pala] made fun with the prof. Hehe.. sorry po.. Ganito kc yun. Yung prof kc (woman) may one very noticable 'curl' ang kanyang hair. Parang sadya talagang may ganun. Some sort of a 'pigtail' or something..? It caught my attention and it was like..

Me: "Whoa..a double-stranded DNA helix...!"

Tapos dinagdagan pa ni sith. Sabi kc niya abangan ko daw kc baka mamaya mag-replicate yun tapos after sometime, puro ganun na yung buhok ni ma'am.. Hihi, 'afro' na siya. Ha ha.. Oh no, im so mean to my profs.. sorry po ulet.. E kc naman, i just needed something to entertain myself during your oh-so-boring class discussions. Well, all im saying is, it's your fault after all. [joke].

What i did not realize during that week was that at least, somehow something good is coming my way.

My first biochem exam result was given. It wasn't excellent [i never had one] but it wasn't a disaster either. Fair enough for someone like me. Thank God for that score. Really. Not a bad start for me. Maybe if i work a liitle bit harder, if i give a little bit more, then i might exceed my own expectations. Here is another lesson i somewhat learned: For someone who has loads of subjects in a sem [like me], always balance your priorities. If you're interested on the subject, then be consistent. if you don't like the subject then you must at least give some efforts.

As for me, i'll do it. whether i like it or i should like it.

Oo nga pala, friday was also one of the best last week. E kc naman, P.E. time..! Hehe. Honestly this is one of my best PE yet. I loved swimming before, but I'm starting to love Taekwondo more than ever. This one is really COOL. Na-miss ko talaga 'to kahit until now may muscle pains pa rin ako sa neck and shoulders.. Sulit naman. XD

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Okay, so, the year of the Fire Dog.. Haha (Hope I'd be luckier this time.. :-) It's the first day of the year and i still have no idea what my resolutions are (or will be) this year.
'Wag na lang kaya? Haha. As if naman magagawa ko yun.. But I'll try. Despite all the stuff, it's torture time once again! Why? Because...
Ay nako pasukan na naman. at napakadami kong exams. Whew. What a 'wonderful' way to start my year (and my friends', too) Haha. Kaya, kopyahan na! Bahala na nga. Pati yung reviewer ko sa chemistry di ko pa tapos. At yung nirerewrite kong lecture notes unfinished pa din.
But anyway, i think i can still squeeze in these unfinished businesses on my schedule this week. Maybe Wednesday (kung walang exam). Hay sana nga wala. Hmm pero parang meron..? Whatever. Bahala na ulit. Haha.
Oops. Lots of things to do.
