I woke up this morning feeling sad and surprisingly homesick for America.

I had a lovely dream. I dreamt that I was still in West Covina, eating a bowl of Lucky Charms on the kitchen table, 'til my mom woke me up.

It's sad because I'm now back in Manila, and I honestly have nothing to look forward to here. I'm not excited to go back to school on Monday, because I will obviously be bombarded by a billion worksheets and quizzes and homework.

I finished my Math worksheet though, and I was able to study Physics, read a bit on El Filibusterismo (sucky book), and finish Macbeth (another sucky book). I don't feel very determined with my senior year anymore.

But I am looking forward to my college plans, which I would like to call 'Operation Independence'. I plan to study in the East and live in an apartment with Liza.

You may think that the idea is silly, or I'm just blogging bullcrap here, but I got it all figured out. And I believe that this is the most mature decision I've ever thought of, with thorough planning and details.

I already started saving up, and I'm going to apply for a TIN number so I can start working part time and save up.

For now, I'll keep everyone posted, and I'll need prayers and a bit of financial support.
