I know I always work myself out, bite more than I can chew, but still, yesterday reached the peak. Everything that could go wrong did.
1. Prom payments! Michelle (finance head and my good samaritan) and I collected prom payments from 4 sections during lunch. Collecting prom payments meant that I would miss Bio training, disappoint my coach and partner. It also meant counting money in a small hot room which felt totally oxygen-deprived (couldn't open the fan because of the money).
2. Taking the payments home. We just opened an account in RCBC and had to put the money in the bank. I was carrying my school bag with such a big amount of money (which made me really nervous). It was too big an amount to leave with an irresponsible person. Worse, I couldn't contact home. Landline was busy, mom's phone was off, Luis and Yaya Amor weren't answering. What's any wise girl gonna do? Call her bestfriend of course! Thank you Kat for taking me home! I really enjoyed our money-is-no-object shopping spree with the prom payments! hehe, joke. :)
3. Honor's Assembly dry-run. It was our dry-run for Monday after dismissal but I couldn't go. How could I leave my bag alone? People saw me especially teachers who said I was taking my award forgranted. There were nastier ones who saw me out of the dry-run and murmered, "di na pala siya awardee. Sabi ko sayo, di niya kayang i-balance ang lahat" I , of course, couldn't leave my spot.
4. Cue cards. For college day, I was supposed to make the emcee cue cards. I had it with me for a week already but forgot to give it to the emcees. When it was the dry-run yesterday and the cards were missing, patay tayo diyan. I was finally breathing at home when my phone rang and it was the SC moderator! She didn't get mad, but the disappointment in her voice caused alot of tears to escape. Had to wait for my mom who brought me to MC to drop it off.
5. Bio training. I came really late. When I came they already memorized the phylum names of invertebrates (think sipuncula, chiddria, etc). With all the exhaustion from school, I could barely absorb what I was studying.
I feel my beaten body will self-destruct anytime.
But things aren't so bad. I'm actually happy nowadays. Thanks to God's beautiful answer to my prayer.
