We believe that the power behind us is greater than the task ahead.

I passed by the UP Chapel this morning just to say a short prayer when I saw the funeral of Precious Baldo. She got killed by the accident at Kamia hall in UP. I thought of going there and give my condolences, but my shyness overcame me and I just looked at her casket from afar then walked away.

While I was walking to my first class, I noticed that I kept on thinking about so many things. I was thinking of my class, if I was ready for the exam this coming weekend. I was thinking about my exam for the day, if I studied hard enough to pass it. I also thought about what I was going to do with my free day tomorrow, if I’m going out or I’ll just stay home. And what would I do with the upcoming student elections, about the one who I should vote. (I met a group of campaigning councilors while I was walking and they were shaking my hand for a really long time and all the while I was wondering if I should get away from them as soon as possible, or stay there until their speech was finished… eventually I stayed and listened to whatever they were saying.. but nothing stayed in my mind. :P)

Anyway, when I reached the building I have already made a compromise with myself that I would review as soon as I reached the classroom. When I went in, Tin reminded me of the surprise quiz that was announced last week (announced surprise quiz... ^^;;), I was startled because I completely forgot all about it! I quickly scanned my file case if I brought my notes, and luckily I was able to bring them and I refreshed my memory for a while then Phine came and told me that the MRT was out of order. I thought of Ivy, Chrissa and Nikki who would use that mode of transportation to come to school. I hoped that they wouldn’t be late for class. About a while later, Chrissa and Ivy came into the room and I asked them about the MRT. They were fortunate enough that they were able to use the train before it broke down.

When my first class started, I was amazed at how I was able to comprehend all the things our teacher was discussing. I was able to answer some of his questions when he asked us about random things in the subject. (I didn’t recite, I was just sitting there and quietly whispered the answers to myself.) My first class was inspiring.

My second class was boring. As usual the teacher came after thirty minutes has passed and started discussing about Niccolo Machiavelli. I was jotting down notes, whatever she said that I thought were important. She just kept on talking and talking while I was writing and writing. She was able to finish ‘The Prince’ in a matter of minutes because she just read her note cards. Then she started on Thomas Hobbes and announced that our exam will be scheduled next week. Ha! Another moved exam. Now all the hard exams are moved to next week. Sheesh!

I had an exam in my next class. I was able to answer some questions and some were just opinionated guesses. I do hope I pass that exam. I need to pass that exam! After that, I tried to study for the surprise quiz in my last class. I understood what I was supposed to do but how would I do it? How would I draw curvilinear squares? That was the big question.

The quiz was given. Open notes and open books. I said to myself ‘Okay! I can read my notes!’ then I started to answer the quiz. I started with the easier question, and up to the drawing of the curvilinear squares. It took me a long time to draw a curvilinear square using two co-axial cables (they are circular… it’s so hard to make squares using circles!)… I don’t really know if I answered it right. Finally when we passed the papers, I remembered that it was open notes! I forgot to look at my notes to see if I did everything correctly! Wenk! I should have remembered to look at my notes! Oh well… ^^;;;

I got home, and saw a lot of new stuff. And my parents were asking me to read the manuals so that I would be the one to figure out how those things worked. ^^;;; So I took the manuals and read them, and read and… I’m still reading them…^^

Wow! A long post, I haven’t done this for a while. ^^
