Next Week Hell Week
It's Thursday. Today was the last day of regular classes. Yay! No more History 165! No more class making me comatose! And no more class tomorrow.
Actually, I still plan to go to school tomorrow. I didn't tell my parents that I don't have classes tomorrow. I didn't even tell them that I didn't have theo all week. I don't want to have to go to the store tomorrow. I'll just hang out at the library. Maybe I'll bring Fuji (ha! my laptop has a name too--courtesy of Cerz's suggestion) tomorrow and work on my Nonfiction some more. I'm almost done. I just need a one-page essay to make it 20 pages, and maybe do some more editing on my nonfiction stuff, and do an introduction page. I finally have some long nonfictions. One's my Childhood Home, which turned out to be four pages when I double-spaced it.
Next week's finals week--therefore, hell week. I've got three exams (my majors don't have exams). To start hell week is Theology. Isn't that nice? The scariest (or maybe not) is the first. I need to do well in this test because my two long tests had been less than mediocre. If I want to pass theology, I will have to do really good in this. I still don't know what happened to our theo research paper. I don't want to think about it yet.
Then, on Tuesday, I have history. Another hell. I need to do good there, too, because it's the same with theology. My long tests had been bad. I need to make up for them. But at least our group report had turned out pretty well. We got 19/20! I think we're the second highest. Yay! I wasn't expecting such a high grade, but there you go. At least something's working in our favor.
I don't have an exam on Wednesday, so the next's Thursday, which is the day of my Philosophy orals. That's probably what's scaring me the most. I hate oral exams. I always end up making an idiot out of myself whenever I have to do an oral exam. There's the fact that I'm not exactly the best speaker there is in Ateneo. And then, there's the pressure of knowing that this would make or break my philo grade. I did so bad in the last exam, I have to do well in this one. But I just got the thesis statements today. Freaking hell, there are twenty thesis statements! And Mr. de Jesus will pick the question he'll ask us at random. I can't even understand some of the questions.
Anyway, at least I can bring someone with me to the exam room. Yumi already agreed to be my "moral support" there. So, when I take the exam, I won't be facing Mr. de Jesus. He can talk to the back of my head while I talk to Yumi. Haha... Hey, he said we could. I'll take him up on it.
That's the end of my exam week. The block's also wanting to go to Enchanted Kingdom next Saturday. We've been planning it for months, and I really want to go. But I still haven't gotten the courage to ask permission. And Yumi's also suggesting that afterwards, we go have dinner at this restaurant in her church building, Crossroad 77. One at a time.
