This is probably my hardest sem yet. And I mean that in different levels – testing me here and there every freakin day. It’s still baffling how I have mustered that much strength to bring me to this point – October 7, my sister’s birthday (no connection whatsoever) with only 5 more days till sembreak freedom. I’ve been wishing for some sort of time-off and recluse ever since this sem started. Now that it’s almost here, I can’t wait. Of course, just before that, hell arrives.

Last week was the hell week of all hell weeks in my entire Ateneo life. To my horror, I had to endure consecutive, caffeine-induced all-nighters. And I never liked any of those. It was a good thing I had the company of my group mates. My hell day of all hell days with 3 crucial, do-or-die group reports culminated last Thursday. How did it all go? Let’s just say I’m just glad it’s over. I received positive feedbacks from all, so I’m happy.

Last Tuesday, I had my last COC7 meeting with the girls and the Candy editors at Icebergs, Galleria. It was a joy seeing my co-council mates, who have become my good friends during my entire experience. It was a bittersweet meeting that ended with a lot of cam-whoring and messages. I shall miss everything about being a part of Candy. Hopefully it won’t be the last.

Despite having to attend my Philo Final Orals (that I feel like I have screwed) the following day, I went to the Little Prince Concert with my friends. It was a benefit concert for our teacher, Mr. Abodilles, who is in dire need of a kidney transplant. It’s amazing how Augustinians can pull off a huge concert in a span of 2 weeks. Ang galing. Iba na talaga pag nasa kolehiyo.

Don’t you think I have gorgeous girl friends? Haha.

I had to admit that I wasn’t there for the concert, I was there to support a good cause and look forward mostly to seeing alumni batches, especially our 2005 batch. Practically everyone was there. It was a reunion of all sorts for various batches, and I couldn’t help but feel old whenever I see those from high school. Seeing my batchmates mature(?), change and look drastically different is refreshing.

Right now, I’m hardly done with all my academic endeavors. Ha. I have finals everyday till Thursday, and if I want to keep up my good grades, I better study like crazy. Unfortunately, weekends really don’t help. Especially when today is my dear sister‘s 18th birthday. Dinner at Circles, Shang tonight, which means less ‘paper time.’ I’ll try to update this with pictures later. Right now, I should get back to my UPIS proposal analysis.
