first week... done

'it's only been 4 days but i feel like it's been a month since we started school' -dani

yeah. i agree with her. actually, everyone agrees. for the past 4 days, i've done nothing but hold my books and read them till late at night. i can say it's paid off a bit but that's not the problem at hand : i feel like i'm tired already of school life.

my class is actually great, considering that everyone's nice and cheery. well, pranksters and side-commenters are more like it but then we all get along... i think. for now, i've made friends already with the people on the right side of the classroom (where i sit) and i find them nice. honestly, they're all familiar faces that i haven't been classmates with and i find myself wondering now why i didn't try making friend with them before. they're nice, they're dear and fun too... not to mention they like to laugh and joke around a lot.

our AC's busted and we've been sweltering in the heat for 3 days now. yeah, it only worked during the first day. the leaders of our class have come up with the 'close the door quickly' sign (with matching reasons) on both the doors for the foreign (or other) people to see. the room actually gets colder when there's no one in it (we found that out when we went to the lab for a lesson).

what else? first quiz, first SW and first two group presentations went alright, forgetting the fact we were time pressured :D

but of course, though i like my classroom now, i still hangout with kate and ichie during recess, lunch and dismissal. they're the only one's i've got to pull me up now, and even if they're a wall barricade and a - classroom barricade between us all, i still like to think that we're closer than ever. the recess spot's now the far right staircase of the building (the one that's rarely used) and we laugh ourselves stupid cause we know no one hears us.

for the record, i've got 3 ugly-looking bruises in exchange of my attempts to humor kate. well, i've humored her 15-20 times and i'm lucky enough to only get 3 comebacks :D i'll try and ask bea to teach me something close to self defense ><

mmm... i'm not supposed to be updating but yeah... i guess the only times i'll be online now is saturday morning and if it's really important, certain evenings during weekdays. study habits have greatly improved and i've taken to reading while walking :D

homework's not done yet. better go :D
