I accomplished many things today.

I am done studying for both Math and Physics. I understand the topics, and all I need is a bit of polishing and reviewing.

I absolutely have no idea how to study for Filipino (yuck, El Filibusterismo), Research (arg thesis), Economics, and CL. Yes, even CL. I am definitely cramming, and though I hate it, I have to do it.

I wish I didn't have to go back. My mom's friend said that I can enroll in Upland in the middle of the school year. All I have to do is keep up with their pace, which seems fairly easy after learning about their curriculum.

I miss America. Though I was born in the Philippines, I do believe that deep inside, I was never a Filipino to begin with. I feel accepted in the US, and it feels good because I finally found a place where I fit in. I belong.

Here in Manila, it's another story. Too much drama and intrigues. I do hope that God will allow Liza and me to go to New Jersey and live there. It's more convenient if we rent an apartment, 'cause the landowner will set up the electricity and water. Then if something's broken, all you have to do is report it and they'll fix it immediately and all you'll have to do is pay.

It's easier to pay the bills too, because Liza and I can half. Then I was thinking of working in Pep Boys, an auto shop. At least I'll get a good background on cars, and I'll learn how to fix our future car. I can also get discounts on bottles of oil and I can ask help from the people there, who'll be my future friends and co-workers.

Liza plans to work in a bookstore or in Radioshack. Then we will do whatever it takes to get a 4.0 GPA and transfer to Cornell or Rutgers. It's a very big step, and it sounds difficult too. Actually, it sounds extremely impossible.

But then again, nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself, and if you lift your burdens to God.
