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.

The only perks of being one of the last few ones, and...

Oh. wow. finally. I can hear it… the sounds of sweet summer sunshine (gotta love alliterations) blaring on amidst the can-be-unbearable heat. But I am not complaining. I have waited for this for so long, and now I am ab-so-lute-ly feeeeelin it! I’ve never longed for summer to arrive as badly as I have been (and with good reasons too!). And because I only have limited summers left (practicums and more school hullabaloo await the next few ones), I’m making sure I make the most out of this one.

I swear I’m a happy kid. Maybe at this point, I’m...
