title: Today is the third week of second term.
First term ended during the start of September, and I can just write so much about it. I have fulfilled my duties as the class president, as well as my tasks as a student on scholarship. So far, I have stellar grades and a scintillating record as an officer. I am currently a Dean's Lister and an honor student. The remaining months of first term have been rocky for me. I was constantly under pressure and I carried the burden of looking after my classmates and reminding them of the current requirements needed to be submitted. I can still recall those times I broke down while trying to study for a test because I just didn't know what to do anymore. I didn't know how to handle the stress since I was still testing the waters. My acquiescence was visible, and I was prepared to raise that white flag of resignation. But it was not the end. Time management and symmetry were acquired. I learned how to segregate my problems and thoughts, which resulted to a good conduct, excellent grades, prosperous friendships, and a budding relationship with my boyfriend. I'm on to my second term now, and my subjects and schedule are more arduous and burdensome. Sleepless nights due to excessive studying are part of my lifestyle now, as well as reading 3 chapters per subject in a day. I would normally respond to all the stress and pressure in a belligerent manner, but I realized that you get nothing from your acrimonious remarks. I want to see the glass half full, so I'm done being impatient and negative all the time. The second term has begun, but it doesn't really matter how you commence, but how you finish. College is indeed a survival of the fittest, and only the strong-willed live. |

title: Second thoughts. It's been so long since I last figure skated, and I can say that I'm starting to miss it now. I was looking at my ice skates earlier, and they still look new, untouched, and hardly broken in.
Skating was more than a sport to me-- It was the perfect release of my emotions and everything I'm feeling deep inside. I love it because, well, it keeps me cold. And it just calms me. I'm thinking of going back and pursuing it. But then maybe I'm just scared. |

title: A happy Thursday for me! Finally! Term break begins today.
So what if it's only for a week? So what if it's too short? So what if we're the only school on break? Hahaha this is where the whole "beggars can't be choosers" come in. I've been begging for a break ever since college began. Life is really stressful in school, and only the strong-willed survive. I went to school today to submit my English portfolio, then I went to Ateneo to visit Espa after. It was so much fun. We had lunch and Wicked Oreos for dessert (if you haven't tried it, I swear, you're missing half your life) then we went to watch CAT practice in the high school field. I had so much fun, and I hope Espa enjoyed too. Today was just amazing, and I finally got to experience a happy Thursday. Looking forward to my one week vacation, and I can't complain, because it's better than nothing--oh and the fact that I got my schedule for next term and we still don't have classes during Fridays. Oh yeah! |

title: The worst is finally over. -- At least for now.
Exams ended, and I couldn't be any happier. I spent the whole weekend studying and sleeping late. I was really relieved when I found out that I was exempted from the Sociology exam. Unfortunately, we had no exemptions for Math and Science, so I was forced to review and memorize all my notes. It's finally done, and I hope I make the cut. I can't say I didn't do my part, because I know I really worked extra hard this term. I can finally relax and just hang around for awhile. Thank goodness. |
