'Cause it's hard to live, it's hard to live in the city

Second post, yay! Again, I'm in ultimate stalling mode, not wanting to start studying for my 135 exam, which is TOMORROW. I'd just like to document my day, which was a good day. Somehow, Jess answered my prayer last night. I specifically asked for a good day. I really didn't want my official start of the week (since I don't have class on Mondays) to be all emo. And from what I'm seeing from my friend's blogs, the emo is going around like a virus.

I had a good breakfast of banana pancakes made by Yaya Sonia. I ate it at Lola's, since I didn't have time for breakfast at home, and I was dead asleep on the way to school. Tito Ronnie happened to comment that I'm getting taller! Could this be true? I'm 21 so I think I'm running out of time for any more vertical growth. Not that I'm not happy with five feet, four-and-a-half inches. But I'd gladly welcome another inch or so.

Chem, oh chem. We're into the alkyl halides now, and I'm still somehow following Sir Sumera's lecture. That won't last long though, I'm sure. He announced that we'll have a quiz on Thursday, which I definitely won't be able to study for because of the 135 paper and the postlab and prelabs due all on the same day. But whatevs.

I passed the lab exam. It was much better than lec, thank God. I'm so not worried about getting low grades anymore. Basta lang talaga pumasa, at maka-graduate. I promptly forgot about the exam when we started the experiment. All those tests for ketones and aldehydes kept us busy almost the entire period. The Schiff's test was especially pretty, too.

The afternoon was spent in Starbucks Katipunan with Lee-Ann, signing the sigsheets we collected from the apps. I'm taking pictures of all of my pages, since it's my last second sigsheet ever. :( It was also nice seeing Kuya Mark today. He's one of the guards there, the most madaldal of them all. He always finds something to ask us about, even if it's something he's asked before, and he and I both know it. Haha. Still, it's thoughtful of him, and thoughtfulness is always something I appreciate.

Kuya Mark: May results na 'yung mga exam niyo sa med?
Me: 'Yung applications namin?
Kuya Mark: Oo.
Me: Wala pa eh.
Kuya Mark: Ah.. Balitaan 'niyo ko ha?
Me: Oo naman. Basta pagdasal mo kami ha?
Kuya Mark: Siyempre naman.

I got home at around 5, and proceeded to take my daily afternoon nap. The tall-no-whip-praline-mocha-frappuccino-light I had did nothing to stop me from sleeping for over two hours. Which is why I no longer have an excuse to not study all night long.

Last, but not least for today. Ruari's exams are over! One more block to go for him. He's on his way to Laguna now with his class, a much-needed break for all of them, I'm sure. He'll be back tomorrow, but I'll see him on Friday, which right now, with everything still left to do, seems light-years away.

There. That was my good day. Praying for the same tomorrow. Ma'am Mendoza, pleasepleaseplease.

OKAY. THAT'S IT. STUDY.

One last, for more neuroticism. Tita Josie Lapena informed me that the PGH deliberations will start tomorrow. God help us all.

  2. Haha, not technically. Remember Sarah, my cousin who joined Days? Tita Josie is her tita, on the other side. :) Really? She seems like she'd be a strict prof. Hehe. :) Thanks Jo!
