Four days of reviewing have gone by. I have to admit, I feel delphic and inferior. You see, I have this classmate who's incredibly INTELLIGENT. He goes to Philippine Science HS, and he has this tendency to just stare at the equation, then come up with the CORRECT answer. He rarely makes mistakes. I, on the other hand, am really lost.

We took up Algebra II today, and it was confounding. I didn't know how to answer, and even though we had a discussion before the test, I kept on spacing out. It seemed so easy during the lecture, but once the test began, I was in a different world. See, all the questions were incorporated, or multi-step problems.

I really detest Algebra II, with all the Xs and Ys and Ks and Parabolas etc. I'd rather do Trigonometry. Unfortunately, Mr. Smartypants was my seatmate, and I could see him galloping through the problems from my peripheral view. Ugh, some people were born lucky.

Anyways, I should put everything school-related aside first. Tonight's Nicole's birthday party at Dolce, and I'm quite looking forward to it (even if I have to wear a dress.) I get to see Mark, Max, Nicole, Ja, Luis, and other people who I haven't seen in ages! Most of them were my SEP classmates in Geometry. To come to think of it, I really do miss SEP. I wish I enrolled, but I already paid for two review centers so.. yeah.

Despite my failures today, I am very much motivated by this quote. I resolve to try harder, and to not let the skills of other people intimidate me.
