Incoherent
School's evil once again. Extra-currics are evil.
Note to self: Carla, of all the years to get involved with so much.... Why now?! Mali talaga timing mo.
But despite the pressures, I wouldn't trade it for anything else. English class is a perfect example. I like my teacher, I like the selections we study, I like literary criticism. Regardless if they like me back (i.e. I get good grades), I have fun. Now I'm fully realizing grades are just a product of doing your best. Real learning must come in first- which includes making mistakes.
i just don't know why I'm so sensitive with my Chem grade. I guess it's because for so long I've been in search of a field of expertise. I've always been scattered among so many different subjects and I was never consistently great in any. I guess I don't really know where I'm really good at (which explains why I don't have a course yet- or am I even close to deciding). Then along came Chem where I got a surreal first quarter grade. But now I don't think I can maintain it.
On a lighter note, my dad (who has dominant chinese-tipid genes) got back from Hong Kong. He brought home an I-Pod. Note: I-pod, as in singular, which means my mom, Luis and i will have to share. Wonderful. When we started to use it, my dad liked it pa! That makes four of us battling for the use of the I-Pod.
Luis: Dad, are we really that poor?
Hehe. What's worse is that it's an I-Pod Shuffle. It means that the songs will be played at random. Why is it everytime I play it, Luis' fave song "She Bangs" plays? Or my dad's classical songs? At least it's family bonding. :)
