500 ml of Bacchus energy drink kept me going.
Our second exam for zoology was set today, and we were to read 5 chapters of the ever-loved Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy by Kent and Carr. And because I am the queen of procrastination, I started reading the book last Sunday and was able to finish reading 3 chapters only.
1:00 - 1:30 p.m. Organic Chemistry lab class ends, Rox and I ate lunch at the GAB cafeteria and parted ways because I had to go to CPH
1:30 - 2:00 p.m. I entered the OCS, presenting a picture and an affidavit of loss. I willingly lost my ID. hehe I also received letter about the academic scholarships for my classmates and myself.
2:00 - 3:30 p.m. Travel time, I was hoping to read a few pages of the book while at the bus, but Hypnos (GKNB?) passed by and I was put to a sleep.
3:30 - 4:30 p.m. Upon arriving at the village entrance, I decided to get a haircut. I wanted a new look when I study. [I often look at the mirror while studying. Somehow seeing an image of myself inspires me to continue reading. haha]
4:30 - 6:00 p.m. I watched MTV, ate bread, rice, meat, chocolates, and almost everything I found in the fridge. haha *guilt*
6:00 p.m. I decided to STOP eating and induced myself to vomit. hehe joke lang. I decided to start reading the book. I have actually finished reading the 1st chapter last Saturday. So I started reading the next chapter about vertebrae, etc.
8 p.m. I finished reading the chapter. 3 more to go! It took me that long because I often took breaks by playing the piano and mirror gazing. Mom arrived at about 9:30, and she gave me 2 250-ml cans of Bacchus, which Ive asked her to buy for me. I gulped the contents of the 1st can, and it tasted good (though Ryan said that it tasted somewhat like cough syrups,etc). whehe Actually I was addicted to it, so about an hour later, the next can's content was consumed.
2:00 a.m. I finished reading the 3rd chapter. This was the hardest chapter to read, I should say. It dealt with the skull and visceral skeleton of craniates. whew. I had to memorize the membrane bones of the dermatocranium, and their origins in different vertebrates. Sounds difficult, and it really is. But I enjoyed it. hehe
2:00 a.m. - 3:00 a.m. After feeling such an accomplishment of reading the chapter on the skull, I suddenly felt that I need not study the next chapters anymore. So I played the piano (while everyone's sleeping, hehe. I was continually playing "The Voice of the Heart" by Henri Von Gael. Nakakarindi na nga yata. hehe I was also trying to play Fur Elise, but I just can't do it as Beethoven did. I am no Maksim like my Kuya Ivan. This summer I promise! I am going to take piano lessons at Yamaha.) until I felt the GC me again. I rushed to the table and started reading the first quarter pages of the next chapter. I had slight headache, and closed my eyes for a few minutes, and then I decided that Id skip the 4th chapter and start reading the last chapter, the chapter about muscles.
5:00 a.m. I started fixing myslef and my things. I prepared too early for school, and arrived at the bus station, at about 5:20 a.m.
6:15 a.m. I arrived at school. With dim lights, I went up to the 3rd floor of the GAB to check if our room was open. I decided to stay at the RH-GAB corridor and read some handouts given to us by our professor. And oh, I bought cheese bread and water pala for breakfast.
7:45 a.m. I went to see if anyone of my classmates are already present. I saw Esther, from the other PH block.
** at 8:30 a.m. Mam de Guzman arrived carrying the test papers. As she came near to our room, I sadly reflected upon myself: suddenly, I just wanted to quit. School life was just too hard. Aside from not sleeping at all, I feel that I have neglected my responsibilities as a Christian. I can feel that I am spiritually degrading, and the feeling is scary. I owe too much to the Lord.
How I wish that He would give me the peace I have long been praying for.
