Cramming Varsity
It’s been a long time since I last made an entry. School’s really tiring, plus I gained a lot of weight since school started. All that walking in AdMU just makes you want to eat, plus there’s a lot of new stalls at the Caf (I don’t go to JSEC bec it’s too far from where I hang out at). I don’t really do much at home except to check mail, watch the latest episode of Shugo Chara! and do schoolwork. There isn’t much time to do anything else because school really tires you out that you just tend to fall asleep as soon as you get home.
Anyways, here are some things that have happened to me since last time.
I had my first insertion at CRIBS New Beginnings in Markina. It’s a place where abused girls go to try to recover and start anew. (There’s also CRIBS Receiving Homes for abandoned babies.) I felt a bit out of place since it’s my first time doing area. I don’t know any girls, I barely know my fellow NSTP/Org mates so it felt really awkward for me. I wasn’t entirely sure what to say, or what to do in fear that I might make them remember something from their past. Our goal was to try to help them by playing with them and having fun, but I think that we didn’t do so well that day. We were all tired just commuting to the area, and half of our group missed our stop (which included me), so we did a LOOT of walking that day.
The second insertion was better. I guess the girls needed time to adjust to our presence, and us to theirs. For the older girls, since they didn’t see Tugon over the summer, it was trying to remember the bond with the members. And for the new girls, of course it’d take time to adjust to having people over. I guess I liked the second insertion better because I really like art and we made notebooks today. Compared to our first, GD (group dynamics), where we played some odd version of newspaper dance, I liked the notebook making better. Plus, I wasn’t as tired today. We learned our lesson and arrived there in one take. :p
I also had my first long exam for the year for Hi18 – Western History. Not much to say about it, I found it hard… (I dare not say I found it eas…y… because I usually fail exams that I find easy. Although I did find it hard because I forgot some things…or maybe a lot of things…)
Next week is hell week. Good thing there’s no class on Thurs bec of St. Ignatius Day, but that doesn’t mean we have the luxury of relaxing that day. On Monday, I have my first long exam for Terror Theo. It’s just so hard remember which passage goes to which bible verse, and all the points Ma’am mentions in class. Information Overload. There’s just too many readings to remember everything. On tues, I have a Fil paper due for the play we watched some time ago. 3-5 pages long is a challenging yet decent number, except for the fact that it’s Filipino. I’m really poor at Filipino. (Oh random. Please excuse my poor grammar. I lost the ability to make decent punctuated sentences which are also grammatically correct. My theory is because I don’t have time to read books anymore, and I stopped writing prose/fiction. Also, everyone seems to talk in Filipino so you have to go with the flow.) At the same time, we’re having a meeting for our presentation for Theo because on Friday, we have consultation. So I need to fix my research, and we’re supposed to criticize each other’s report. On Weds… we have to fix the reports based on the critiques, and I should start finishing our Hi18 project wherein we reenacted paintings, and now we’re photoshopping faces into the paintings. On Thurs, NO CLASSES, but I still have to go to school for another meeting for our consultation on fri. Friday is a hectic day still because we have our weekly Theology quiz, Theo consultation, FA101 LQ plus FA101 project.
An acquaintance asked if it was hellweek next week for me as well, and I said not really. I didn’t really realize how much work there was to be done bec I thought FA majors’ work isn’t much compared to those who have accounting as well. Now I know I made a mistake with what I said. It is hell week next week. And it isn’t even the week before the finals. Teachers have this odd link with each other wherein they schedule their projects and tests all at the same time. It suxs really. >.< I wonder if working is less stressing. I have this odd feeling… it is…
RandomRandom Title. I saw this girl with this Ateneo PE shirt looking shirt that says Cramming Varsity at the back. I lurv it! I want that shirt. For some reason, our generation is filled with crammers. I guess we can plan outings well, but we can’t plan our schoolwork schedule just as well.
