so…what now?

July 28, 2007 · Leave a Comment

i’m kinda mixed up right now… people i know and do not know (on occasions) have been asking me the same question over and over again… what are you going to take up in college?

well, what am i going to take up in college?

honestly, i have no idea of what course i am going to take up but i do know what i like… and none of it i can study in college.. unless, of course, i pay back everything the school spent for my education…

when i was in elementary, i really wanted to take up law… and my my was set in to taking up the course. first because i really like it and second maybe because i wanted (and still want to) complete my mom’s unfulfilled dream.. (yeah, she took up law but she drop after the third year..too bad). my second choice would be psychology… but still, psychology is under social sciences…

then i found this quiz… but then i had a feeling that this thing would just woe me into taking up courses i am not suppose to take…

History/Anthropology/LiberalArts
100%
Religion/Theology
100%
PoliticalScience/Philosophy
88%
French/Spanish/OtherLanguage
88%
Psychology/Sociology
81%
Visual&PerformingArts

Education/Counseling

Nursing/AthleticTraining/Health
56%
HR/BusinessManagement
56%
Accounting/Finance/Marketing
50%
Physics/Engineering/Computer
50%
Mathematics/Statistics
19%

(take the quiz too… WHAT MAJOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU? created with QuizFarm.com )

as i expected, my lowest score was math and statistics… i never liked math.. well, maybe i did but that was way back in grade school.. the science part would just appear down there…at number nine… and what is it? tada! biology, chemistry and geology… maybe before THAT test i would have liked it but now.. i dunno…hmmm…

so what now?

i do not have any idea… maybe i’d shift courses after second year college… but i would just waste two years of my life doing something against my will… or i would just have to pay the school… i can hear my dad telling me… no shouting at me.. get out of the house and never return! or maybe worse…

i guess i just have to wait for next year… or maybe i have to sit under a bodhi tree like siddartha to be enlightened…. or maybe i have to sit by the river and listen to it… maybe, just maybe it will come to me…

that reminds me, i have to read the last page of the book.. yeah, i’m done reading the whole book except for the last page… how stupid is that? or maybe the more appropriate question is… how lazy is that?

Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum?

couldn’t get any worse!

July 26, 2007 · Leave a Comment

and they said third year was easier…

could it get any worse?! we had 3 long tests today… ok, so i thought bio’s gonna be easy.. it was answerable, yes, but long… very long… i think i left out 3 essay questions… and one 5-item tabulation part…no i answered that part.. but i blew it up i had like one minute to answer that explain where and how tabulation part… essay in bio? oh yes… not your typical do-you-think-humans-evolved-from-apes kinda essay… it was the answer-briefly-but-you-really-cannot-because-she’s-so-demanding kinda essay… I JUST HATE IT!

next long test was chem… i asked some people from the butaran sections and they said it was easy… so i did believe them… stupid me… how can i be so stupid?! why did it not occur in my mind that we could have had different test questions? and why, in the first place, did i not remember that our teacher is different from their teacher… maybe we had the same test but for them it was easy because our teacher is different from their teacher…

did i emphasize it too much? that our teacher is different from their teacher… i don’t want to say it straight-forwardly… go figure out what our teacher is different from their teacher mean… ok? so there… just like bio i missed out two items, but hey… what are two items, right? they don’t matter that much, not if they weren’t six points each!

after chem was yet another long test… PE long test… yes PE long test… not PE practical test…
long test people, long test! not in my two years in pisay have i encountered a written PE long test… (or so i remember.. but i don’t remember… anyways…)
it wasn’t hard but the fact that our teacher in PE is living us a written long test is just illogical… maybe it was… but what the hell… he gave back the handout we were suppose to study the day before the friggin long test! how are you suppose to study with bio and chem long test on the same day?! and when i asked him how we were  to answer the water safety enumeration thingy verbatim the conversation went like this:

me: sir do we have to answer the water safety rules verbatim?
him: basta according sa handout.
me: what do you mean, sir?
him: according sa handout
me: huh?
random person: word per word ba sir?
him: oo, dapat word per word

that was… what is the suitable word? annoying!

note to self: never use the word verbatim (at least during PE)… i’m beginning to be evil again… but…but.. never mind… 
lucky are those people reading this who haven’t taken PE long test.. (are there?)  you would know what to study… anyway… as if you’re that interested to read the whole entry to get to this point…

in conclusion, the day sucked.. but not like any day that sucked.. this day sucks more and sucks the most for now…

i fervently wish my parents wouldn’t be able to read this or find this blog… or else i’m dead! :(

i’m bored…

July 23, 2007 · Leave a Comment

i’m not bored… no, i AM bored but i shouldn’t be. i should be buried in my pile of books right now studying for next, next week’s perio or i should be doing the css thing but it seems like my will to do school stuff is weaker than my will to stay sane for the next few months or at least weeks.

actually, the issue of my sanity is debatable right now. the fact that i treat my sanity as a separate being makes me think it isn’t really there. it makes me wonder if it (my sanity) has left me or if i ever had one in the first place.

 enough about that… debating about my sanity makes me less sane.. anyways…

i have to do school stuff now… my mom’s going to strangle me if she sees me blogging again..

Sonnet LXVI

July 17, 2007 · Leave a Comment

from 100 love sonnets

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul. (more…)

Sonnet VI

July 17, 2007 · Leave a Comment

by Pablo Neruda (from Cien Sonetos de Amor- 1oo Love Sonnets)

Lost in the forest, I broke off a dark twig
and lifted its whisper to my thirsty lips:
maybe it was the voice of the rain crying,
a cracked bell, or a torn heart.

too lazy to post anything…

July 11, 2007 · 1 Comment

i’m already done with filipino and physics and half-done with bio so i guess i have the right to be lazy again…

so..

i arrived at home 6 pm. so far that’s already my latest arrival at home and hopefully the latest for this school year… i really hate it when i go home late… it makes me think i don’t have time to do school work and sleep at the same night… but it’s alright… the stay was worth it…

but fortunately i finished my filipino essay early. i really thought it would be hard to finish the friggin essay… it wasn’t so hard after all… ha! i still have to do half of my bio hw but it’s not that hard so i think i’ll be able to sleep early…. hopefully…

i desperately need some energy source because i feel so drained… no sun dried… is that even appropriate?! anyway… i haven’t slept decently since this week started… i get all my energy from my daily dose of caffeine… yes, caffeine… sometimes from coffee, often from tea… (did you know that tea actually has higher caffeine content than coffee?) i shouldn’t even be drinking coffee because everytime i do, i get a headache… but what can i do?! even chocolates cannot boost my energy level… to think it also has caffeine… oh well…

so i guess i’d better end this post… i’m going to finish my bio hw na…:)
