sigh

I have been so tired for the past four days… that was four sleepless nights…there were many things to be done that even sleeping and eating were my last priorities.

Last Monday I had my third long exam in finance. And I think I didn’t do well (again…). In accounting, I used to study for at least 3 days. For the past 3 LTs in finance, I began to study a day before the exam! What a crammer…

And now there’s History. I’ve always loved History. I don’t know why. :) I thought I would do well in hi165…that I would even get an A. Well, that’s what I thought…until we had our reporting last Wednesday. I don’t want to elaborate further because the more I think about it, the more depressed I become…but then to give you some ideas, it was DISASTROUS. There were technical problems, a lot of class time wasted, idle times, taglish reporting (which ma’am Habana doesn’t like), rumbled flow of the report etc etc.

Now I begin to be more depressed. Sigh…

LS 100. Last Tuesday, I had to pass a reflection paper and a long homework. The homework was not the typical “read the book and answer the following problems” type. We were to choose a problem in Ateneo and then propose a very DETAILED plan to solve it. Frida and I were partners. And just to give you an idea, there were vision-mission making, SWOT analysis, detailed action plan, “tree analysis”, stake holder’s analysis etc etc. Ours was 9-pages long. The other one, the reflection paper, was about leadership, mine was 4 pages, 1.5 spacing. But mind you, it wasn’t a simple reflection paper. We had to read a chapter in a book on leadership, summarize it, relate it to organizational behavior and reflect using our own experiences. We all thought we will have a quiz that night…4 chapters… and I studied for an hour and a half (4:30-6pm)…but Sir Lopez changed his mind. Hmmp..I should have just took a nap or did something else..

Lastly, but certainly the most stressing event this week was the COA election, campaign, miting de avance and accomplishment of other requirements COA asked the candidates to do. Until 1 am last Wednesday, I was writing short essays that were to be put in the election primer. I barely had 3 hours of sleep. Big thanks to Charmie because she let me stay in her condo til the following morning. At 6 am, I went home, ate, took a bath and then went to school again to cram for the history paper and reporting. After the history reporting, I cut my next and last class, EC113 to do my 3-minute speech for the miting de avance.

After the miting de avance last Wednesday, we (jo, mon mon, jun, Bennett, mel, randy, kuya jayr, james) went to red ribbon. I was very tired that time, but I couldn’t refuse the company of friends.. :) I was really tired…I can’t even line up at red ribbon to order my food. Mon mon had to do it (thanks!) because I felt dizzy.. Mon mon and I went to Prince David before going to red ribbon and there was a moment when I even had to lean against the wall because I felt dizzy and I saw things moving all around me… I ordered tocino, which I really like, but I couldn’t finish my meal… I haven’t eaten but I wasn’t hungry… my eyes were really getting heavier and heavier… but I just want to be with friends.

Worst case, I arrived home at 10 pm. I was really sleepy but I chose to stay awake because I was waiting for princess hours (I’m addicted to it). At 10:30, I decided to lie down but I fell asleep!! Argh! I woke up at around 11:30 (of course the show was over) and when I was supposed to go upstairs, my tummy ached! It felt like it was being squeezed. It really hurt so bad that I couldn’t even move.. Sigh…it wasn’t the first time that it happened. There were already a few instances when I was awoken at night by the same painful feeling in my stomach. Sheeeeet.. wag na sanang maulit.
