Freaking Long Post is EPIC
My classes during Mondays start at 7AM. So, by around 6:45, I was already in front of the Rizal Hall steps when I began reading the messages left on my phone when I wasn't checking it on the train ride going to school. One of them was from Fatima.
"Friends, walang Physics LEC at LAB" (Friends, we don't have Physics LEC and LAB). Nice. . I'm fifteen minutes early, only to find out that my next class is 2:30PM. That left me with quite literally seven hours to study for the Biochem exam that afternoon.
So, I basically did nothing in the morning but hole up in the Library reading "Biochemistry" by Mathews and Van Holden (which, may I add is probably the most nosebleed-inducing textbook I have encountered) and "Modules in Biochemistry" by Nicolas (If you're wondering if she's the same person as the one doing all the Mr. Gutierrez analogies, you're right). I was with Fatima, Inno, Paul and Mao. Mao brought the adBio book we used to use back in high school, which Paul said was the same book the biology people at Diliman use (amazing, ain't it?). After clearing 5 chapters of Mathews and reading an entire unit from Dr. Nick's module, I started working on my problem set (the syllabus states that passing a problem set merits additional points in the exams... woohoo. SWEET). After that, I had lunch with Fatima and Inno.
After lunch, I bumped into Jamil, Dennis and Kiveli (Kiveli "flirting" with Dennis this time, do note the use of quotation marks). We discussed the script for our collaboration, and then waited until the OMAKE meeting.
The OMAKE meeting was attended by Ten- get it- TEN people, namely M, D, K, A, Madz, Uretz, Jeun, Dennis, Geneva and Me (ah yes, it all started with L and his funny name). We decided what we we're going to do for tomorrow's ACLE (Alternative Classroom Learning Experience) and decided to do a "timeline of anime styles". After that, we just hung out. Aya-sama fell asleep on the benches, Dennis sort of "stole" Uretz-nee's PSP to use "rapist maneuvers" using Devil Jin on Tekken, random "flirting" of some members, Madz-nee told me how to get our org uniforms made, et cetera, et cetera. Bumped into nina for three seconds, bumped into RJ even longer.
Then came Humanities 2. As usual, I sat for another 90 minutes listening to another lecture on the history of fashion... Then, I fell asleep. Haha.
Bumped into Lau who told me he was already delayed by a year. Then we debated which was harder: Organic Chemistry or Biochemistry.
My exam in Biochemistry 14 started around 5:30. Dr. Nicolas was complaining that we weren't numbering her attendance sheet properly. She asked if we're confused or panicking. I told her it's because we were developing Thymine-Thymine cyclobutane dimers (I admit. Only a biochemist would find that funny).
The exam. Was freaking. Hard. My head hurt (it rarely does during exam, sometimes my mind just blanks out XP). I think the reason it did so much because it kept on running, and I didn't encounter mental blocks (because I was like, studying since wednesday). In the end, it killed the hell out of me.
Had dinner at shakey's while listening to Hitomi to calm me down.
Right now I'm wondering what the hell Hitomi is saying in the first two minutes or so before the official lyrics kick in. O___o (I'm seriously considering some weird subliminal message-chant)
