Before I Forget...
Belated happy birthday momma!
(Guess how old she is, I bet you'd be wrong!)
Anyway. It was just consultations for groups 1 and 2 today for the English paper so that means free cut for us in groups 3-5. Which means an extra hour of sleep for me! Unfortunately enough, my body clock likes things done in (oh GOD i can't remember the word for the same thing every day. it's in the tip of my tongue) anyway, point is I still woke up at 5:15, the time I would wake up at any other day. Sigh...
It's the ES (environmental science) long test today, and I failed the first one that's why I am so determined to pass this next one. I KNOW, ES, HOW THE HELL DID I FAIL AN EXAM? One word: Katam. It's a killer I tell ya. And the fact that the advisory marks came out this week. Ogy and Pauline, my two course blockmates in the same ES class, both got Fs. Things are not looking up for me.
As for english, I've been doing mediocre in Escano's class. I've been getting 6s and 7s in quizzes over 10, and compared to my stellar performance of nerdy-ness last sem, this is certainly a step down for me. I mean, I got a B+ in his class last sem without much effort (seriously, tooting my own horn here. But this is strictly for informational purposes) Cos I mean, come on, It was essay writing. Not to say that it's easy, I'm just saying that this is something that runs in my family, and something I've been sort of good at for a while now. It would have been a disappointment if I didn't excel in that class. Same thing goes for lit. It was short stories and analysis of. Can do, right?
Well, this sem just isn't going well for me. I was so optimistic at the beginning of it. Sure I have the easy classes (PE 101 and ES) but they sure as hell don't motivate me to study (and I'm just not cool enough to be able to motivate myself). Now my two English classes, which are supposed to be my niches, are also beginning to break down. It's so hard to make research paper per groups of 5, it's so hard to get your mindsets into the same area, and for SURE there's going to be at least ONE annoying person and/or lazy person who has all the excuses and sorry faces in the world.
We have poetry in lit, and I SUCK at it. Gaby, my seatmate, on the other hand, has totally teacher pet-ted herself. :P (Just kidding Gaby, you know I love ya.) But seriously. When she was giving back our quizzes these were her exact words:
Lit Prof: and (insert name of person here) got a high grade... and (insert name here) too.. oh! And Nikki also!
Me: *looks up surprised* (and it almost turns to joy when...)
Lit Prof: Ay! sorry that's wrong. Si Gaby pala.
Me: .......... *shrug*
Ekh. I hate poetry, I really do. I mean it's beautiful and yeah yeah yeah but I just don't like all the emotion. Hah. That sounds so... eh. I know it.
I STILL CAN'T REMEMBER THAT WORD FOR DOING SOMETHING HABITUALLY EVERYDAY. I keep thinking "Ritual" but that's so wrong.
Anyway. I heard from my prof that we're moving on to Drama next week. THANK GOODNESS. Other than Shakespeare, whom I also hate, I think I can do well in drama. (I can hear gasps of surprise and indignation all around. Yes, I HATE SHAKESPEARE. Half the time I can't tell wtf he's trying to say. SPIT IT OUT MAN! I mean, congratulations for making the greatest drama of all time, and I really do think your plots are original and amazing but HELLO I'd prefer not to get a headache just trying to read you.)
ROUTINE!!!! THAT'S THE WORD!!!! MY BODY CLOCK LIKES ROUTINE AND THAT'S WHY I STILL WOKE UP TODAY AT EXACTLY 5:15!!!!!
Ahem.
Anyway, it's already 6:20. My extra hour for sleep that I spent online is now over. Turrah.
