Another hot summer school day.
4:02 PM April 27, 2007

Hmm.. I never would have thought that summer classes could be so.. so.. heavy? so burdensome. yep. that's it. We have a group paper to write, but at least we're done with one exam and our one big report. *sigh* I wonder when this will get better. I always get the nagging feeling that I've forgotten something, that I should be studying (hell, I forgot write the family name of Isagani's fiance in one of our quizzes, which I knew, making it suck more than it should. X( Bleh), I didn't know I could get stressed from something as simple as PI. Well, at least I'm not going to have to bother with it come the school year.

Enough ranting. At least there's a bright side. This weekend is an extra long one for me, since my teacher decided to give us the Monday off, so with Labor day this Tues, I actually have a 4-day vacation! If only my family were going up to the mountains or something for this weekend. But at least there's this kada gimmick that's been too long overdue. :)

And I bought another book today. Gawd. I dunno what craziness has possessed me to spend what little I have left on this new part of my growing book pile. @_@ But I've been eyeing this book for more than I year now, in fact I was drooling over it just yesterday in Fully-Booked, but it was quite expensive there, so I guess I have to forgive myself for buying it when I found it since it was about 1/3rd the price. ^^;

And why was I even in Fully-Booked a couple of days ago when my exam and report were also set on the same days? Cause my parents had their 22nd wedding anniversary, and unlike last year, they decided we could come along for dinner. XD We ate in a not very fantastic restaurant that we all resolved never to come back to. But it was in The Block, so other stores compensated the visit. :)

And for my shocking discovery of the week: I found a turtle in the middle of the AS pond in school. 0_0 Seriously. A real live turtle. I watched it wading about for a couple of moments cause I couldn't believe we actually have such kinds of wildlife on campus. Then when I passed the pond again about less than an hour later, the turtle was completely gone. 0_0 The next day, it was still gone, but the pond suddenly had plants. Weird. 0_0 Either the turtle went deep-pond diving or somebody took it, I don't know. But coincidentally, the book I was reading said that turtles were lucky. Hehe.. I guess seeing one at that moment was kind of a lucky omen, if I believed such things. :P

But I'm pretty sure I wasn't lucky that day, cause that was the day we had our exams, and our exam questions were something like: "Give a recap of the entire economic history of the Philippines since blah blah.." and "Give a list of all the island revolutions that took place during the Spanish Era and when, why and how.." Who can answer such things anyway? The first question alone was a killer, we had to recall the barter trade done by the earliest settlers in the country, all the way down to the time when Manila was declared an open port and the Anglo-american settlers brought in a system of banking through fund deposits on demand (or something) which in turn led to growing investments, yada yada. @_@

And I tried studying Iframes, and it turns out my browser doesn't support such things, so I kept seeing prompts that told me so. -_- Hectic day.

But I finished with Across the Nightingale Floor. It was nice, though very sad. :(
