oh dear.

I just don't understand Math as well as my classmates do. Every Math class, I have to struggle to keep up with the lessons. If this were a race, it seems like my blockmates would be sprinting towards the finish line, and I wouldn't even be halfway there.

Math math math math math. Axioms and the table of signs and proving and inequalities... It just doesn't come naturally to me.

Now, I'm really, really scared of getting a bad grade in Math and then losing my scholarship. I wouldn't even be here if not for the money given to me by the BPI Foundation. My parents simply can't afford to pay the tuition here.

If not for my BPI scholarship, I'd be in Xavier University right now, studying Nursing, living the cushy life back in Cagayan de Oro...

D'awww! I can't lose my scholarship. I just CAN'T.

I don't wanna go to Xavier!!! I LOVE IT HEEEEEERE!!!!

Okay. Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to make use of one of the consultancy sessions we students are given priveleges to and talk to Mr. Tolentino, my Math professor, this Thursday, after class. I'm sure he'll be glad to lend me a hand.

Not that my blockmates aren't helping me out already. Oh wow, you won't believe how much they've had to put up with my incessant cries for help. But they're all really cool about my badgering. They're always willing to lend a hand to the less mathematically-gifted.

Props to Alessi and Deo for all the help you guys offered before En 12 class started.
Thank you Cheryl and Rap for assuring me that I wasn't the only one who didn't get it (even if you guys DID actually get it) and to Karl, for being the one to show me the right way to work backwards. Thanks Albert, for patiently answering my endless questions during Math class. Last but not the least, thanks a lot, Ren, for providing some neat-o sound effects I could listen to while I was trying to work on my own.

Hahaha. I love my blockmates. And I love my school. I won't go home to Xavier! I WOOOOOOOON'T!!!

    Good luck! Have faith in yourself. God will not bring you to AdMu if He thinks you cannot make it there. Just do your best and He'll take care of the rest.

summer plans

I found out yesterday from Alessi that our last exam is on the 23rd! (Yeah, I haven't gotten around to checking the March calendar yet.) My flight's on the 26th (with Gerard! ), so that gives me three extra days of ~COMPLETE IDLENESS~ woohoo. So anyway. I'm really excited to go home. It's just two weeks though, and after that, TWO MONTHS of summer classes. Which means I'll have to fly all the way back to sweltering Manila to take up the TWO SUBJECTS that I and the rest of the Health Sci majors are required to take. Gahh. I can feel the heat waves reverberating towards me from the future. Right. Lest I digress any further, here are some of my (our) ~summer plans~ roflmao March:  Go home and be happy as a bee for two weeks! April-May: Take Psychology and German. -_- Take the Carlos Celdran tour around Manila! n_n Sign up for PAWS! At last! Light up some environmentally destructive floating lanterns, and then later lecture everyone on how they've just...

women superheroes

A lot of my close friends are boys. Boys who like comic books. I hang around them a lot, and usually we talk about random things like physics and foreigners and lobsters having no pain receptors. We went to watch The Amazing Spiderman on a whim just recently. It was fun. Sometimes it's not so fun. I used to get a lot of sandwich jokes until those stopped being funny. Now I get "d'oh you're a girl so of course you hate comic books" jokes. I don't hate comic books. I love Neil Gaiman's Sandman . And Walking Dead, too. And Scott Pilgrim!!! But I don't read superhero comics. It's hard to be interested in them when most, if not all, of the superhero women 1.) have gigantic breasts, 2.) wear sexy clothing, and 3.) are always in stereotypically feminine poses. What if the male characters posed like the female ones? (c) Kevin Bolk And look at that. Why can't the men wear clothes as revealing as the women, or women wear clothes as concealing...

Box O' Rice

To be honest, I don't even remember if it's called Box OF Rice, or Box O' Rice. I hope it's Box O' Rice. It just sounds cooler that way. But anyway. I went there last Friday for dinner, and it was my first time there. It's a cozy little place right next to my dorm, and they serve exactly what their name implies: boxes of rice. Boxes of rice with toppings, of course. Emphasis on the word "boxes." Which means there are no plates involved. Which means you can bring the boxes in and out of the store as you please. I should've noted this earlier, because I embarrassed myself at the counter, telling the cashier TWICE that I wanted my box of rice "to go." Durrr. Boxed na. To go pa. Anyway, the food itself is good, for P60-P70 priced meals. My only complaint is that their meat-to-rice ratio needs a bit more tweaking. There's just so much rice, and so little of anything else! That's Pinoy portioning for you. Actually, the store don...
