Cephalaspidomorphii

I’m a second year college student… ANG BILIS! Wasn’t I just dreaming of entering UP a week ago?  and adjusting to my new college life 3 days ago? Taking my very first long exam 2 days ago? meeting new friends yesterday? taking 21 units an hour ago? getting drained 30 minutes later? applying for membership in my organization after 3 minutes? regretting certain stuffs 4 seconds ago? Think about it… in 2 or 3 years time, another "milestone" has been achieved. The "mile" feels like an inch… and yet life goes on… with me not noticing any difference at all. Have I changed the world in some way? have I affected anyone? Have I made a difference?

… and still, the world runs at top speed.. as it always has.

"Hey, you were my friend when I was a kid. And you, and you.. you too. Look at us now. Look at you now… you look different. Well, look at me, same as always. Have I changed a bit since we last saw each other?"

KAHAPON LANG! It feels like I’m going too fast… or thinking too slow while the world zooms passed me. ZOOOOMMMMMMM!!

<useless thoughts>

This week has been partly tiring, partly heartbreaking and partly comforting. I’m poofed, fizzled, burned out… but I’m contented and still holding on…

I had my culmi in my organization (Association of Biology Majors - join UP ABM!=>) last Saturday without worrying, without hesitation, and without any preparation at all for the upcoming hell week. I only had a day’s rest, and two days of cram review.

3 exams: Bio 12 lec, Bio 12 lab and Physics 71. *sigh* The things students do to please other people and to please oneself. Well, hours turn into sweaty seconds before the first exam came: Bio 12 lec. It was a hard exam. No good. Some more review, then came bio 12 lab and Physics 71… God, it’s like I didn’t know anything. I did review you know. I read all there is to read, twice even. *sigh again* Life is indeed unfair and heartbreaking. But it goes on…

Aside from the exams, I also watched Basilia ng Malolos - a play presented by dulaang UP - with my comm3 classmates. This one is better than the last, thank God. However, it still took away precious review and sleeping hours. There was also this panel discussion, and some other requirements that I have excruciatingly divided my every bit of attention and free time. Life moves on… Let it go Adrian…

What relaxed me was this UP fair with some of my friends. And although I didn’t stay too long (which gave me zero opportunity to see Parokya ni Edgar), I was able to have fun with them. Ha ha, I didn’t think the fairy’s wheel and the wall climbing thing was so much fun. Then I spent the whole of my Saturday and Sunday sleeping.

For this week, I have papers to finish… tons and tons. Life is truly unfair… But it doesn’t mean it’s not enjoyable.. Life carries on. Good night.
