Midterm Week

January 20, 2010

 

I’m exhausted. I had the most draggy exams today. Well a couple of them at least but I believe that’s not the end of it. There’s still Accounting waiting around the bend. Though I’m glad to say that I survived as I hoped I would, I’d like to think that I’d be able to pull through the next few weeks. I can’t give up just yet because the worst is yet to come. Or wait, I think it’d be better if I don’t think that way. Let’s give being an optimist a try and see where this leads me.

Anyway, I’m putting that all behind me now. There’s more to look forward to for the next couple of days. Midterm week is not yet over, in fact it has only just begun. And there’s more work on the side. I need to get my submissions done before their due dates or else I won’t get the bonus points. I’m banking on this because it will be the only thing that will save me come finals.

I honestly don’t know how I’m surviving school right now. It’s not like I’m a regular student. Oh no, I’m definitely not. I also work to fifteen hours a week that will pay off when they deduct 25k from my tuition fee. I’m struggling to juggle my time. But I still get the perks of being a regular student which is evident in the number of cuts I’ve used for a couple of my classes. I think I’ve used up half of it already, which is not a a good sign. It means that I have to stop slacking off and get on my feet. But oh well, we all need a break.

Speaking of which, I changed my wallpaper today. It’s a photo I took in 2008 in my home town during Holiday Break. My cousin came home from the States for vacation and we brought him to the beach.

Anyway, going back, believe me you guys have no idea how much I want to go on vacation. I’d do anything to get a full weekend getaway. It’s not easy to snag one when you only have one day for a weekend. Wow, come to think of it, I think I spend more hours working than regular employees do. Six times a week and even my one-day-weekend is spent doing homework.

Can’t it be summer already? I want to get out of school so bad. Like right now.

I need to feel the sand in my toes, the wind blowing in my face and the smell of the ocean filling in my senses.
