LSS OF THE DAY: "BAD DAY" BY DANIEL POWTER
Very appropriate song for today.
I'm in the school library right now so I can't use my smileys. So sad.
Anyways, I'll start with what happened on Sunday during our NSTP orientation. We got there on time, but our names weren't on the list that our moderator had. So she told us to go to Room 309 (we were in room 305) and ask. But then Meg decided that some of us should go to the Tan Yan Kee building where our names are posted to double-check the room where we're supposed to be in. So Sarah and I went down to check it out; by the way, we were on the 3rd floor of our building. We got out, and we found out that we were supposed to be in room 417. How Sarah mistook it for 305, I don't want to know. We went back in, told Meg and Iris and headed up to the fourth floor. We were already sweating so badly on our way up but when we arrived, the aircondition of the room wasn't working so it was twice as hot already. And we were marked late in the attendance sheet. So much for a clean record.
I went to Tita Marissa's house afterwards but I got held up in the dorm because Manong had to take down the spare double-deck that no one was using in our room. At least I got a day of relaxation before heading on out to the dorm again. That night, Tito Jarius and Tita Marissa asked about my dorm and stuff like that; they got a bit concerned when I told them that I go home alone on my TTH classes (which is until 7pm) so Tito Jarius gave me a whistle and pepper-spray. I was surprised at this gesture because I didn't think that he'd..you know..care; being the self-absorbed, spoiled brat that he is. But I really appreciated the fact that he actually cared for me.
The next day, which was yesterday, Kuya Abner and Tito Jarius took me to Pantranco and I just rode an FX from there sinnce Tito Jarius had to attend a meeting. It was so traffic!!
And today, well, this morning actually, I woke up a little late becuase I was still exhausted from my trip from Dagupan then to Fairview in just one day. After I took a bath, I got locked out of the room; my room mate must have thought that I brought my key with me before she left. I knocked on the door hoping that my other room mate would wake up but to no avail. So I went downstairs and asked if the landlady had an extra key to our room; good thing she did so I ran back up rhe stairs and dressed up as fast as I could. I ran all the way to the court where my P.E. class was (my P.E. schedule is every Tuesday 7-9am) and I got there at exactly 7am. We did our warm-ups and stuff like that and did a lot of strenous exercises. By the time our professor told us that we could have a 5-minute water break, we were so sore. All my muscles were screaming in protest everytime I moved. But we still had another hour so we had to bear it. On the other side of the court, I saw my former schoolmate Richard Silva. We have the same schedule but his P.E. is co-ed volleyball. I caught him looking at me a few times but I just stuck my tongue out at him. By the time our time was up, we could barely walk straight. We were so sore! I ran into some of my classmates on my way back to the dorm and I asked one of them if I could have her hand-outs in Natural Science xeroxed. On my way to Dapitan, Iris texted me and asked me if I could xerox copies for them also. So I went to the nearest xerox place and the girl who was doing it for me took the longest time. She was so slow. I know that she might be new or something but I was tired and starting to get cranky. She even xeroxed some of the pages the wrong way so we had to do it all over again. And she also dropped a few pages. When she was done annd was finally stapling the pages together, I made a mental note to myself to tell my friends to re-check the number of pages or if any were missing since I couldn't do it at the time. I went to the dorm and when I was about to take a bath, I found out that the faucet was broken; and I was already undressed. So I dressed up again and asked to have it fixed. Then I finally took a bath, had a quick chat with my room mate and then went here.
By the way, my other room mate, who left earlier than me, has quizzes for the whole day. Her class starts at 7am and ends at 7pm. Quizzes all the way. With only an hour break time (12-1). Poor her. I hope she does well. I don't think she got much sleep last night.
Gotta go! Quiz in Natural Science and Psychology later.
