As the title of this post states, today was, yes, yet another extremely tiring day. How surprising. Well, here we arrive to the part where I talk, and talk, and talk and you listen and don't even leave a trace that you actually read this. Well, it's not really that important; on with the show.
Biology was relatively interesting. Other than that, no real comment. Filipino was a bit fun; our presentation was at least amusing. Physics was not the usual naptime, for once - we had a relatively fun game, which Clarisse had been requesting for a long time. We were given a series of statements, and we were to determine if they were true or false. Some were actually quite tricky. Still, I did learn a lot. I hope I'm ready for the long test tomorrow. I would still study a little bit, but not too much.
One of the morale boosters of the day was English. Our dreaded quiz about the first four books of the Iliad was postponed, thanks to G++. Furthermore, our group actually has the best performance of all the groups in Gluon - even among the 4 sections, I think. This was because we "won" the first task - the task/s about the Book of Job - and got about an additional 20 points. Our group also has 4 members in the next round - Eda, Jay, Clarisse (who beat me... darn...), and Lara. Go [team name]!
Life Sci was a bit interesting, though I didn't get to enjoy it much because I was busy worrying about Proogies!. Joel told me a bit about the dreams he had. He seems convinced that his dream meant something; well, I couldn't blame him, and it would be good for him if his dream motivated him somehow. Whenever I dream, I would sort of instantaneously forget whatever dream I had, like it was some kind of RAM, or volatile memory (the proper term.) Anyway, let's continue with the rest of my day.
Lunch was relatively uneventful; I had wished to review for Proogies!, but I had something else to do - cram my expenditure log. In this 7-day period (Thursday last week to Wednesday) I spent about Php 496. I'm sure a lot of you spend a lot more weekly than that. I wasn't really awake for most of Soc Sci; I was, well, extremely sleepy. No offense to Sir Job. He's not the boring kind of teacher, but still I fell asleep. I remember ma'am Docto saying something about that phenomenon - the body would spend most of its energy absorbing and distributing the nutrients from the food being digested. This means that, well, less energy would be spent keeping you conscious, making you fall asleep eventually. And that's what happened to me.
Whatever the case was, I'm glad I got a little bit of sleep, because I was going to need it for the Chem long test. It was a bit tricky also. First of all, we were given a thought problem which tested our understanding of K. It said that it was a spontaneous reaction; therefore, K was supposed to be bigger because there was a bigger numerator. However, since the product of the rxn was a solid, it had no numerator. It was a bit tricky for me.
The other tricky part was the last one, where we were to do the usual switching-around equations and stuff to obtain the K for a net reaction. The catch was, it was is Kp, not Kc. I'm not exactly sure if the same rules work for Kp as they do for Kc, but i assumed they did not, and just converted them back and forth. I hope my solution is correct.
PE was, well, a bit fun. I only got to play a little during the "epic" match between Gluon and Charm. It was exciting; yes, I am not that good, and I only am a reserve, but still, I watched them and, well, supported them - not by making loud screams, but, well, you get the point. It was a deadlock, a stalemate, a draw - 2 0 as dulie used to say; or 0-0. The girls lost to Charm by 1 point - it was 0-1 - but still, they put up a good fight. What was even more exhausting was the fact that they faced Muon after. The guys still won, though - it was 3-1, i think. I had to go prepare for Proogies!.
This time around, Proogies! was even more exhausting. I was able to do a grand total of 0 problems. This time, the issue was my general illiteracy with Java. I was able to understand more about try/catch and exceptions, and I am glad I learned it under pressure, but still I was not able to do anything. I just hope I get 'reconsidered'; for now, I'm on the "waiting list." I was finally able to leave school late at night, by 7:00... It's the latest I've ever been for this year.
Anyway, that's all for tonight.
