Imperceptible Me

okay, i thought i would be able to manage being in this huge school in which i have to ride a jeepney to get from one building to another, but turns out i’m wrong.*raises an eyebrow* as usual.

it’s so exhausting! everytime i get home, i go straight to the shower and take a bath. and then, to relax my totally sore arm and leg muscles, i pour heated water on them. i "discovered" this when i remembered those books i read about american people relaxing in a hot tub after a long, stressful day at work. so when i remembered that, i thought, "why not try it?".

we don’t have a bathtub, but i can just pour the hot water onto my sore legs and arms. and guess what? it actually works!
when i get to bed after taking a bath and pouring my arms and legs with heated water, my muscles are relaxing and are going back to their un-sore state again! unlike when i don’t do anything about my sore muscles, they just keep on being sore until i rest up, which i don’t usually do, since i go to school five times a week. so that gives me two days of rest, which isn’t enough. so i’m really glad i found out how to relax my leg and arm muscles.

it’s also funny how i’d been able to manage myself during these first two weeks in UP. i don’t know why…it just seems weird to me. it’s like, "is this me?". the girl who doesn’t cram anymore and reads lessons in advance? i mean, i wasn’t like this in high school. in fact, my mother kept on scolding me during my HS years for not studying my lessons before the teacher discusses it.
and i would think to myself: how would i study in advance when i don’t even know what i’m going to study? and besides, that would take the fun out of your high school years, if you ask me. and the teachers don’t usually follow the lesson plans they give us at the start of the school year…so i really don’t know what to study, if i ever get the urge to…i don’t usually study without a test the next day.

i thought i was going to be dead come college year. but so far, i’ve survived. i mean, people say that getting into UP is the easy part.

easy? easy?? EASY??? do they realize how much my dad has to spend for me to be able to get into that school?? do they?? with all that MSA review center thing (which was totally boring and brain-draining, but a great help…) hogging my whole summer before fourth year? do they realize how much i have to sacrifice during that stupid summer?? MY FUN TIME WAS SCRATCHED OUT OF THE PICTURE!

if getting into UP is the easy part (and i still think it wasn’t), how am i EVER going to survive college life in this gargantuan school??

oh well, guess we’ll just have to find out.

oh, and my blockmates and blockhandlers are really friendly, so i have no problem with the people there. Ü
