You seem so near yet so far.

I don't know what has gotten into me.  I am actually updating daily for the past few days.  Anyway, this post is somewhat impulsive and random.

List of things to be happy about:

1. EEE 34 Lab was fun today.  All thanks to Ted's 12V lightbulb.  It truly brought out the child in Jen and I.
2. At last!  I have redeemed myself from my abysmally-low (a few marks above passing) Math 114 first Long Test.  2nd LT results were out! 86.25%!!  Yay!  I just need to do better in the 3rd LT and Finals.
   
3. Spent afternoon with Circuit friends, because it's Formal Interview week.  Always a stress-relieving thing, spending time with orgmates.
4. I got hold of a lot of handouts, sample exams, reviewers and the latest EEE 33 problem set.  I'm ready for the last 2 weeks of this sem!
5. HEREOS SEASON TWO EPISODE ONE!!  *hyperventilates*
6. I've thought of a nice birthday gift for myself: a new haircut.
7. Simple thoughts of you.  It just comforts me.

List of things to be frustrated/ disappointed/ sad about:

1. EEE 13 Long Test again.  6-8pm.  Tomorrow.  I seriously need to get 80% or higher in this exam.  Sadly, I haven't passed a single exam yet.
2. EEE 33 5th Long Test is scheduled on my birthday.  Why does my birthday have to fall on exams week?  BOO!!
3. I'm extremely broke.  I spent my last P200 on ordering for a EEE shirt.  I wanted one because I lack white collared shirts.
4. CWTS Final Project.  'Nuff said.
5. Geog 1 report.  Feeling-major talaga ang Geog 1.
6. Hindi ko alam kung anong dapat kong maramdaman para sa'yo.

Eighteenth birthday wishlist.  I know October's still far.  But because I'll be legal in TEN days, and I think it's fun being legal, here are TEN things I wish for my eighteenth birthday.  Most of them are non-material, anyway.

1. Good grades.  I'm not even aiming for College Scholar anymore, considering many flunking exams this sem.  I just want to keep my scholarship up for next semester.  PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.
   
2. A new jacket -- preferably a khaki service jacket that isn't too baggy and isn't too short.
3. A new set of earplugs.  EarPLUGS, not earphones.
4. Books.  Any good novel would do.
5. A box of birthday greetings.  (I miss Hazel and Nya, because they did this for me back in Third Year.  And I still have it.)
   
6. Flooding my cellphone and email inboxes with heartfelt and sincere birthday greetings from all of my friends.
7. Lunch/ dinner with family.  This is a must, actually.  My treat.  But because of school work, even this becomes a wish.  Last year, we still managed to have food delivered to our house.  This year, I want to eat out with family.
8. Lunch/ dinner with friends.  Friends, I'd have to put my wallet away here.  The thing is, I just want to have a reason to spend time with you.  Pisay friends and Circuit friends alike.  Kahit SM FoodCourt lang, haha!
9. Or kung ayaw niyong lunch or dinner, inuman.  :)
10. Spend one day with you.  Kahit after the Finals week natin.  Kahit saan.  Kahit kailan.  Basta kasama ka.

There.  I hope I am not that demanding.  Number 1 is enough, honestly.  To all the October babies, WE ROCK!

Anyway, I still have to study for tomorrow.  I hope I'll pass tomorrow's exam.  :)
