Finals

For the past three weeks I’ve been worried sick about myself regarding how my performance on may ORALCOM¹ finals is going to turn out. It wasn’t a normal experience for me wherein I would have to just sit down for an hour and answer a test paper, instead I would present a skill in class and demonstrate it. Thankfully, things went OK (at least, for me) last Wednesday (the day of my presentation) and I was able to present it even though I was nervous and stuttered at times. :doh: I demonstrated in class ways how you can fold your fancy table cloth napkin, originally I would’ve presented 8 but I only got to 6 because I took up too much of my allotted time, haha!

My *unknown* crush attended class on that day, probably not to watch me but to help his friend, lol. Ugh, again with the crushes?! I’m not gonna say that this is the last time, clearly it won’t be! 😛 Yeah so he was there, I didn’t look at him but I felt really embarrassed while going through the whole demonstrating thing, grr. 😳 As soon as I was finished, I packed my things and went back to my seat. That night, my friend from that class said I did good, and the professor said ‘very good’ after my presentation. Gah, I was so distracted and busy with packing I didn’t hear the prof say that. At least he heard it and then he let me know about it. :)) Here’s me hoping to get a good final grade on that subject, t’was good while it lasted. Seriously, I loved ORALCOM, not because of ….. and ….. 😉

Now I’m done with that, I’m insanely worried with my DESPRIN² final project, our own self portrait *insert faint horror screams here*. Never been good with drawing, I swear to God. Okay, so I got to accomplish all 10 required plates on that subject throughout the term but the problem is all of the things I drew on those plates are not people, human or persons but objects and sceneries. I’m not good with drawing people! 🙁 And now I have to draw myself. Shit. 😐 Bet I’ll mess it up, but I’m ready for it! The self portraits are to be drawn on 1/4 illustration boards, I bought 4 just incase I mess the first one up. I really hope I find a way to make a decent output. My hands are not coordinated well with my imaginative brain, you know. :pray:

August is about to end and September is about to start once again. The -ber months are just around the corner!! Ick, I’m gonna turn a year older again. You know, guys. While reading Breaking Dawn (yes, finally finished reading Eclipse, I’m now reading Breaking Dawn!) .. I never really paid much attention to age (cause after all it’s just a number, right? :whistle: ) until Bella started making a big deal of it. 😡 I wrote a long entry about my “age” issues on my Multiply account (just sharing) and here’s an excerpt from it:

– 19 seems like a BIG age difference from 18.. same with turning 20, at 21, 22.. and so on.
– I think I wanna be 18 forever.
– 19 seems TOO inappropriate for me. I don’t look 19 at all, do I?! I don’t.
– Damn you Bella Swan Cullen for making age a big deal

I don’t think I’m spoiling anybody here because of that.. we all know that Bella wants to be a vampire so she can stay the same, physically, so that it’ll be the same with dear Edward.

I don’t know if there’s going to be any change at my little life once the clock strikes 12 at MY day. 😐 Better or worse? Or still the same? *shrugs off* Dunno what I would do on my birthday, good thing I don’t have any classes on the day where my birthday falls, lucky me! :))

During our upcoming term break though, I’m planning to practice drawing (cause I have 2 subjects that are focused on drawing and color rendering), or maybe continue my driving lessons (which were stopped while I was already halfway through it.. only 4 days left and I could’ve passed and learned how to drive by now), or maybe go out of the country. But on the 6th of September, I’m definitely going back to school, not to study but to attend WordCamp Philippines! :dance:

For the meantime, I want to pass this term, receive 3.0 marks on my subjects, be a Dean’s Lister. Hahaha, dream on! Well, I might receive 3.0’s, but there would ALWAYS be a subject where I’ll receive a grade lower than 3.0, I’m sure of it. I’m used to it, too.
