Hell Week pt. 2
This week certainly has been hell, but not just for me. Japan has my condolences. I truly hope that things will be back to normal soon.
Ignorance is bliss, and I will feign it for the rest of this post.
NATs and the Gallery Walk was this week, along with many presentations that required me to save my groupmates' butts; culminating activities begin to suck after a while.
I had my investigatory paper defense. Did pretty well, considering that our group had the best topic in class. Presentation was individual, so I have no idea what will happen to my two groupmates that barely read the research.
A reporting on breast cancer in Health. Kind of awkward.
I had to do an extemporaneous speech on China's military power relative to that of the USA. It was OK, but I've definitely done better in my speeches.
Gallery Walk was pretty damn fun, if stressful. I was part of Set Design, so I was running around destroying bulletin boards in classrooms and setting upon people with my stapler of doom. My class did pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. We were assigned to do the Epicof Gilgamesh, and our three actors did decent jobs.
Honestly, I do hope we get into the Top Three.
The National Achievement Test for Second Year was on Thursday. It was actually a lot easier than I expected, but the Araling Panlipunan part of it really weirded me out. I had no idea what Uzbekistan's main natural resource was, and I was stunned by Charice Pempengco's sudden appearance in a question. Lea Salonga and Manny Pacquiao I understand, but Charice? Are you kidding me?
Oh, and I forgot to mention that it was just announced that I'm going to be the next literary editor of my school's newspaper. I'm happy, but I've got a lot to do. Big shoes to fill. I'll only be a Junior next year, and it's supposed to be the heaviest year of them all.
I wonder when the worrying will finally end; it merely shifts its focus from one thing to another. I was so worried about the NATs and my school's Gallery Walk the other day. When the Gallery Walk was finally over and I got home, I discover that Japan's been covered in a wall of flood and destruction.
This isn't pleasant.
Next week will be the last one of the year. Periodicals. I hope I can scrape some good grades out of it.
Ah well, I'll go off to study in that Coffee Bean in Ayala Triangle later.
