hell week

it's been one helluva stressful week. long lab sessions on mondays and thursdays. plus, my group in food micro was constantly under the eye of the storm so that added to the stress we normally feel.

tuesday was my only stress-free day since my class was only until 2pm. i stayed at our booth for mc sign-up at the as walk until before my subol ga where we had a pangasinan poet as a guest. he along with a up prof from pangasinan are trying to initiate a revival/preservation of pangasinan culture especially in literature since there are not many pangasinan writers nowadays - meaning those who write in our native tongue. we were there until after 7pm.

wednesday was our applicants' orientation for up subol. we had three applicants who attended the orientation. hopefully, others will trickle in as the application goes on. our batchmate kristine has tried to defer her application and no longer pursue it ever we found out the night before so my batchmates decided to stay at her place overnight. she has a condo unit in teacher's village and only ate jhet and i got to make it there. kuya vlady was with us but he didn't stay overnight. ate kat followed afterwards arriving at the condo around 1 am already. it's just a whole lot of talk about other things since we came there. kristine was really very sleepy so she slept. the three of us - ate jhet, ate kat and i - stayed awake till around 3:30 am. then we woke up around 5:30. it's good that i still got some sleep because if i did not, i'll be "bangag" later on in the day. i also didn't get to finish my cw10 writing assignment which had been given the week before. i also haven't studied my lecture notes for chem so thursday, i decided not to attend my cw10 class. it's only a workshop for our writing assignments, and lest i am mistakenly called to present my work, i'd rather skip the risk and try to study.

the two hours of sleep took a toll on me so thursday night, i slept early and didn't wake up early nor stayed awake long enough the next day to be able to study for our graded recitation in chem as our review for saturday's exam. so i stayed in bed till around 8 am. it's my first time to do that and it's quite enjoyable. then i attended my chem lab class at 10, fn11 lecture at 1 and fn lab class from 2-5, but we only got to finish up a little after 5:30 pm already. it was a very satisfying session since all our yeast bread products all tasted very good and we also had a serving of brewed coffee. we had spanish rolls, cinammon rolls, pandesal, doughnuts and siopao. all yum yum! i went home immediately afterwards to try to get a headstart for chem since i bungled up my chances the previous evening.

i stayed awake till around 3 am making good progress but i had so many distractions i wasn't able to finish all of it. it's because of my damn hair. i kept looking for split ends to cut. so i woke up around 7:30 am and tried to finish the rest.

then to the exam at 10 am. i must say this is by far my most prepared for exam ever - i'm not sure if that phrase is correct. anyway, so far, with all the chem exams i've been through, this is the only one that i understood most of the topics and that i was not having visions of failing. good for me. hope this continues. and hopefully, i will pass this exam with flying colors. methings the last part in bold is not really feasible right now.

after that, sarah, my chem lab partner, and i decided to go farther for our lunch that day. so we went to mcdonald's philcoa. then we went to cs lib to start work on our post lab for experiments 9 & 11. ma'am sam will be giving plus points for those who will submit early so we decided to take advantage of it. however, we haven't finished everything yet so we'll probably pass them tomorrow. at least plus 2 points for each of those.

then i checked my email last night till before 9 when the shopkeepers told us they were closing already. i also attended mass before that but i didn't finish it coz' i had to get my diskette from kuya eric and angela was texting about our report for food micro. i watched gilmore girls and a new reality show mr. personality. then i slept with my clothes and all traversing my and alessa's bed. around 3 am i was shaken from my slumber and i changed clothes. i tried to read the books for our food micro report but i slept still. so it was only this morning that i started to read it. and i've been in front of this pc to email angela the things i read that should be relevant to our report. now i'm sure she's gonna stay up late to finish it. poor her. but anyway, as long as we get it done.

and i still have some stuff today for the next week when i get off of this pc.

H E L L     W E E K! this is what this was.

hoping for no more stress. just fun for the next few weeks. i'm tired.
