the nerdyou've never felt real heat and humidity until you've studied in "the" Ateneo. participating in the Death March would be a lot more fun than walking around Ateneo at high noon. well, anyway, despite the lack of breath, the excess of sweat, and the repetitive bellows of "tangina, ang init! it's like a furnace," there's a refreshing feeling to be back in school. i'll have to admit, having gone through my first summer without any entire-summer activities, it's been a pretty long vacation. it was filled with action, adventure, new friends, j for vendetta, etc. hence, its effect on the present schoolyear: it was kinda good that i did all i could and went out as much as i could during summer because it made me pacify all the intensity, the hormones, and the general longing to live an outrageous teenage life.
so now, with a certain level of dismay, there's nothing more to do than be a nerd.
it's only the second day and i've already been studying for hours. HOURS.
i plan to get at LEAST a 3.6+ QPI this semester. it may just be hoping for too much, but as my friend Dre would say, "reach for the stars. though you might not get there, you'll still find yourself on the moon." it sounded kinda awkward the first time i heard it [coming from dre, of course] but it really has a good "message" attached to it.
and so, to support this whimsical dream i am trying to realize, i've taken the initiative to sit in front in each of my classes, take good notes, and study thoroughly every night.
but then again, i do this at the start of every schoolyear, how can this be any different? "ningas kugon," i believe, is what they call this terrible, fatal condition i am inflicted with.
sigh. so wish me luck an pray for me. this semester's a big one.
back to Accounting.....
the adventure ended at 11:30 PM
