Of cups of coffee and nocturnalism.

Since Saturday, I was already reviewing for Phy71 LE3. It had been tough on me since I wasn't really paying attention-slash-present on those days that my beloved instructor tried her hardest to teach us the lessons. And so, it had been very hard. I was learning topics for the first time, thank goodness for Pisay, I had a little background on 50% of the topics listed in the syllabus. As I flipped through pages of what seemed like infinity, (6 chapters, imagine that), I stopped on the 5th chapter and rested for a bit. To keep my system awake, I tried drinking coffee and nibbling crackers, eating instant noodles while walking back and forth in my room, reciting orally the unending list of equations I had to familiarize. C'mon, I meant memorize. Btw, I have a room mate and she didn't seem to care. She seemed unaffected by the annoying noise I was making, which is a really good thing. Again, thank God for an understanding and awesome, oddly silent room mate. She's really nice though. I bet she's also a talker like me, but dating her favorite KPop stars in Youtube seems enough for her. Anyway, as I was distracting myself from sleep, my bed kept on seducing me. It looked at me straight in the eye and did those seductive stuff that no human being is ever capable of doing. So I just sat down on my bed, handouts in my hand. It was already 5am that time. Boom! Next thing I knew, it's already 9am. Sundaaaay and I haven't done my SOL1 requirements yet. So first thing I did was do my devo, of course, and did my homeworks. It was just a reflection paper about my water baptism experience, which by the way was so awesome! And a list of verses that would counteract the curses in my family, oh and the memory verse: Matthew 11:28. Took a bath, dressed up and went to SOL1. Then, Sunday svc at 3pm and then grabbed a strawberry MT at Universitea and went back to Kalay. I took hold of my Petrucci Chap. 24 handout and started to read them, aloud. But then again, my room mate didn't mind. Or maybe she really does mind but she's too nice and she doesn't want to seem rude so she just keeps her mouth shut. I have no idea which is which. Hours have passed and coordination chemistry just kept on sinking on me. Chem17 for hours and hours. And Monday came, and I wasn't done reviewing yet. I still had the last 2 chapters in my phy71 and I'm not done with Latimer's diagram. But, I just stood firm on my faith and believed in the impossible. Cram the uncrammable. I just kept on reviewing until it was just minutes away from physics 3rd long exam and so I managed to shower for 15mins and dressed up. Rode the Ikot jeep (there wasn't any Toki jeeps around, as usual). As expected, I was late for about 15minutes. I was lost! I didn't know what room I was supposed to be in. Luckily I saw my prof and asked her the room. And then, I got my booklet and began to battle.

I dare not say anything about the exam. Not because I'm bitter, or it was too easy for me. I actually don't know how to put it into words. It was indescribable. That doesn't matter now. It's done. All that would matter would be its results. Praying for the best.

From the NIP, walked to the waiting shed near the CS Lib and rode another Ikot jeep. I went to Area 2 and pigged out. I thought I deserved a reward for surviving the exam. Btw, I haven't eaten lunch or breakfast yet so I really needed food. Menudo + hotdog + cheesedog + Chuckie. Mmm :9 Went back to Kalay and started reviewing again for Chem17 LE3. At first, I couldn't seem to focus. I was too fed up by the idea that physics exam was finally over. I managed to nap for a few minutes and resumed reading the Frost diagram site. And then, I shuffled my Unknown Analysis notes and did my UA routine. I also managed to answer some of the items in the samplex given by a Chem Eng'g org. 15 minutes before the clock struck 5, I started heading to the Chem Pav. When I arrived there, my classmates were already busy answering. I got my test papers and began answering.

Done with chem! Again, I won't mention anything about the exam. All I can say is I am forever amazed by how those people who make the chem exams can manage to shut my brain down. It's so amazing. From that, I think you already know what happened.

Back to Kalay. Ate dinner and went up to my room.

And here I am, writing this. 

This is getting too long and boring.
I am hoping for a long sleep tonight. I missed my bed too much.

Tomorrow, I'll start reviewing for Math53.

Finals week coming up! (game face on)
