It’s that time of the year again, and every student must fulfill a necessary evil in order to go to the next level. That is what we call in the academic world: FINALS!
HAHAHAHA! At long last, I’m done with my finals and I’m free! I can’t believe I’m all through with my generals subjects, sans NSTP. Next term, it will all be art-related, from Freehand to Colrend to Partdes to Hartds-2.
Right now, I’m currently writing inside the SDA using my mom’s second-hand Powerbook G4 (a gift from my mom’s friend AND we didn’t bought it, just for clarification). I just finished with my last exam for the day, and I have yet to start to buy myself lunch. Don’t have anything much to do but to let the time pass since there’s this little thing i still have to do, and that si to get my course card from my Basicom professor. I wonder what grade she’d be giving me, a 3.5 perhaps?
By the way, next week will by termbreak anyway whose start (at least for those who don’t have exams tomorrow) is at the 30th of August. The following day is a special day for since it’s gonna be my 18th birthday, no longer a minor and is now a citizen eligible to vote, drink, smoke (not in a million years!), watch artistically done R-18 movies, so on and so forth.
The first of September will be the day when most of the course cards would be distribute to CSB students. I’m expecting that ALL of my subjects are not in the red, around 2-2.5 at the very least. However, I’m hopeful that for this term, i could become a dean’s lister. The past year wasn’t a pretty good one for me. 1st term, I almost became DL if not for my 2.0 grade from Filip11, while on 2nd term I got an R for Algeb-x. 3rd term, I wasn’t able to make the cut because 3 of my subjects got a 2.0 as well. For summer Bmat2x, I got a 1.0 barely. I do hope that this time around, I will become DL! I wanna experience at the very least how it feels to be one.
The rest of the 1st week of the month, probably I have to enroll for next term and maybe another visit to Greenhills to retrieve my phone. My parents decided I’m not gonna go with my phone’s repair since we recently found out that through Samsung’s assesment, the cost is to much to cover (That I will discuss on another post). I’m not sure yet if I’m going to buy stuff for several of my subjects, like Freehand and Colrend, maybe on the 1st week of 2nd term itself.
Speaking of “maybe”, I’m currently brainstorming a birthday bash for myself which I would threw it out with friends. Supposedly I want to have it happen on tomorrow but it is a little too late for thatsince I have to gather and inform people about it. Then the idea of having it on the 6th of September surfaced and I made this suggestion to a friend.
Unfortunately, he declined, citing his reason that there’s a big game on that day and a lot of people are going to watch. As if I care (last year, I used to but I realized that this whole rivalry thing is just plain silly, more often exaggerated. Far worse than the San Beda-Letran rivalry in the NCAA). So there’s goes my plan of holding *FINALLY* a reunion of sorts between my friends from my old school in Valenzeula, and those from my other school in Malabon. Actually, I’ve been planning about it for quite sometime now, 3 years to be exact. Plus, I’m not sure if quite a lot are going to be available on that day. I’m yet to make contact with the others about that possibility.
I got the opportunity to do so for my 16th birthday but unfortunately, most of my invites from SJA were rejected, because “it was too far…”. Oh heck, as if I don’t travel from far when I used to attend school in Malabon.
This is another clarification I need to make for all those who knew me in high school. Valenzuela that you know is NOT JUST the one along NLEX! It lies just next to Malabon and Bulacan! I even live in place which borders Obando and Santulan-Panghulo-Dapmpalit , the former which is a simple walking distance away from my house.
It’s totally unfair on my part since I go to their houses in similarly far-off places from my home, like Navotas and Caloocan, and there’s no complaint coming from my mouth that “it is too far”.
I’m not even sure if I could have this thing push through anyway.
(I wanna let everything off my mind right now thus I decided to write it out here. I didn’t meant to hurt anyone in particular although I’m serious about this matter in general. I’m not angry at all but somewhat disappointed with the way things are going. Oh well…)
