This is the first time in a week that I've been in front of my own computer. That's because I haven't been home the entire week.
I just spent several long days and sleepless nights in the house of a classmate, finishing our final paper. Not since my Kule and OSEJA days have I been this bent on work. And even those uber ngarag episodes in the past lasted three days at most. But one week? Over a paper that's worth 30 (pala. I thought it was just 18.) points of my grade? Crazy.
Talk about determination. Labis-labis ang fighting (or competitive?!) spirit ng group. Bibo to the max!
I thought it was never going to end. Blame it on Murphy's Law. It was a good thing we had sufficient food, Eat Bulaga, Mulawin and humor to keep us sane (or barely there, which was good enough).
My lack of sleep has also taken its toll on my apparently sensitive face. Coincidentally, my derma called two days ago, asking when I would be paying them a visit. Hmp, fine, rub it in a little more.
Oh, I did go home Friday night, and held a party Saturday (another story). Then I left again for QC Sunday morning. That was it. Dang, I didn't even get to eat the pastries Luanne gave me for my birthday; when I got back yesterday, they were all gone.:(
But one thing's for sure. That paper we labored over is the best paper our professor will ever get from any grad school freshie or group of freshies. Hindi na ako magpapaka-humble. It's a damn good paper.
To top it off, I had a lot of fun with my groupmates. They are amazing! I'm learning so much, and not just about land use planning. Beyond the work, I'm thankful that I have new friends. I miss them already.
Oh well, the semester is finally over. It was a pretty good five months. I'd write about the entire thing here, but I'm so tired. Maybe tomorrow.
