Week Eight Saturday Procrastination…..and then study until 3 AM

[farlyy]

Week Eight Thursday Today most teachers didn’t have classes, probably busy grading the previous examination, that's how fast this new term is! Teachers are not even done grading the previous one! The pressure is creeping in now, we immediately went home after class ‘cause there’s really so much to do. Though I’m not doing them yet, procrastination is at it's finest.

Week Eight

Tuesday

We had a lot of discussions today; the teachers are covering handouts before the exam AGAIN. Other schools typically only have three terms, so I don’t really see the need for us to have four terms crammed into just four months per semester. That’s a total of only eight months per year—so short! Anyway, this is the moment I mentioned before, where teachers assign TONS of stuff just a WEEK before the EXAM AGAIN. Since it’s only Tuesday, the panic hasn’t sunk in for me yet. On the bright side, we had ice cream today, so that was fun!

Week Seven Saturday Saturdays are my rest days and the day I promise myself to be super productive on Sundays—to do some advanced reading or take notes that I always end up skipping. I swear, after waking up, I can easily go back to sleep, and that's exactly what I did. T.T Probably the most productive thing I did this weekend was watch movies, which might not be great, but it was definitely more fun! I can always plan to do something on my weekends, but this time I just want to chill—a bit like the calm before the storm (meaning the pre-final).

Week Seven

Thursday

We’re at that point again where teachers aren’t assigning much, and the schedule feels really open. But just when we’ll need time to review for the upcoming exams, that’s when everything will be assigned. Back in senior high school, we’d go out everywhere after class, and I’d forgotten how fun that was. What’s stopping us from doing it in college now that the schedule is flexible? I’m planning to do it more often from now on! 😊

We started with a nearby spot, the Aguinaldo Shrine, since my friend Nicole had never been inside his house! I was a bit shocked because I thought it was a go-to spot for every student around here—it’s one of the VERY few places we can 'gala' to, after all. For me and my junior high friends, it was our favorite hangout spot. It’s just a bummer that right after midterms, we’ll have another set of exams. I thought we’d at least have the sports fest before pre-finals, but now it’s scheduled on a day when I usually spend most of my allowance. We’d planned a long time ago to go somewhere farther during the sports fest.

Anyway, at least my friend finally got to go inside Aguinaldo’s house! There wasn’t much else to do there, though, so we called it a day. :)

Week Seven Tuesday My Tumblr has been invaded. :( You know who you are! Anyways, today is fun! We had a little activity in our UTS class where we anonymously wrote down our insecurities and passed them around for others to respond to. Aside from regular classes, we also did our practical exam and performance task for PE midterms. Even though the flow was a bit chaotic, it was still fun to see what the other groups had prepared. After class, we grabbed some food, checked out the thrift store near the school and went home, fun!

Week Six Saturday Woke up by 2 PM today.😀 I’m really going to be super productive tomorrow to make up for it though!

Week Six

Thursday

I had so much fuuuun today! I got to interact or bond more with my classmates and with other people. I’ve realized that I’m slowly regaining my carefree, happy-go-lucky attitude from when I was younger. I want to write to my future self that you're living a fun and fulfilling life because I’m doing everything I can right now to make it happen.

;;;;;;;

I wrote this the day before hoping to try and manifest it, didn't really work 😐

Week Six

Tuesday

Woke up with a mild fever and I want to apologize to my teachers today ‘cause it was really obvious I was soooo sleepy. Though, on our last lesson which is PE I was not that much sleepy because my instructor was really engaging and funny plus I took medicine earlier that day so I feel much better that time.

I went home and had a little accident when I got off the ride home. It’s a normal routine, I get off at St. dom intersection when the jeep stops at a red light but today I was in the mini white air conditioned bus? I’m not really sure what it's called. To get off you have to open the car door and in that certain vehicle before you get off you have to look at the window for a nearby motorcycle. It was a red light and we also stopped at the crosswalk so I got up from my seat to get off the vehicle. When I opened the door a fast bicycle jammed into the door. I wanna cry huhu, while I was shocked the traffic light turned green and the driver where I got off drove away. TT

So I’m left there shocked and shaking while the man was aching from the impact. They tried to chase the driver though I don’t really see his fault here. It was a red light yet the guy in bicycle was so fucking quick, he jammed into the door with the same impact from how fast he was. The bus was also parked near an elevated sidewalk, so the gap between the vehicle and the curb was only as wide as the drainage area, meaning the cyclist had been squeezing into a really tight space.

Of course, I felt terrible that the cyclist got hurt and blamed myself, but in the bigger picture, I couldn’t have done anything to prevent it. The cyclist, however, could have slowed down at the red light. The police arrived and their plan was to chase the driver and I asked them what the girl (me) to do? They looked at each other like they have no idea but they're indicating that I’m not at fault here. I even asked if they needed my contact info and they looked at each other again huhu, but they’re saying I can go so I sincerely apologized to the cyclist, gave him my contact info, and took his as well. So, that was my day. I discover to never ride that kind of vehicle again :)

Week Five

Saturday

Slept pretty much all day and brain rot in Tiktok, but do not worry I will procrastinate all tomorrow. It’s not even procrastination it’s just right. ☝️

Week Five Thursday

Today was the scheduled day for me to try purchasing a uniform again. Unfortunately, there still wasn't enough stock, and since my first class was really early, I couldn't wait in the long line. It takes hours before you reach your turn, so that wasn't an option. I kept going back to check if the line had gotten shorter, but every time I returned, there were new people at the end of it. In the end, I didn’t manage to buy the uniform.

However, I’m still happy today because we had a graded recitation in Euthenics. I had been feeling down after not scoring well on my Prelim video task for that subject, so when the teacher announced that I was one of the students who did well in the recitation, I was relieved. Hopefully, it will help boost my grade a bit. As a form of self-care today, I finally bought a new wallet to replace my two-year-old one. I’ve discovered that recently, I keep choosing white-colored items, although I need to stop because they get dirty easily and it's a hassle to clean them every week or month. HAHAHAHAHA I just realized the photo/video attached to this has no really significance to the context of my journal, it's the design na lang. Now I'm shy about T T

Week FiveTuesday I started my day early, hoping to finally buy the remaining pieces of my uniform. But when I got there, it turned out they were out of stock again. I’m so tired of worrying about whether I’ll be blocked at the school gate for not wearing a complete uniform. My morning was awful—but I didn’t let it ruin my day. Even though I’m feeling really stressed and overwhelmed with everything going on, I’m trying to remind myself that taking care of myself is important. It’s hard to find time for self-care, but I’m learning more about how I handle stress and how I can grow from these moments. The world doesn’t stop, so I just have to keep going and suck it uppp.

Week Four Saturday It wasn’t until college that I began to dislike class cancellations or suspensions. They disrupt the balance between studying and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. After an exam, there’s usually plenty of free time, but as the next exam approaches, we’re overwhelmed with schoolwork, projects, and, of course, the need to review for the upcoming test. Some of that free time earlier on could have been used more wisely instead of cramming everything into exam week. I’ve mentioned before that consistent lessons and regular exposure to schoolwork help keep me motivated, whereas no classes tend to encourage my procrastination habits. It’s hard to find the motivation to study topics that won’t be discussed soon or have already been covered. Fortunately, I have some instructors who assign tasks in advance, like the film activity in Understanding the Self. Anyway, today I plan to prepare notes for upcoming lessons and maybe start a new series or rewatch some of my favorite movies.

Week Four Thursday Today feels like one of those days that my future self will look back on fondly, reminiscing about all the fun and meaningful experiences I had in my youth. I've come to realize just how much I've grown, not just individually, but alongside my amazing friends—we’ve grown together instead of drifting apart. I’m all about making memories and embracing new experiences because they contribute to who I’m becoming. Whether it’s today or years from now, I know I’ll feel fulfilled and grateful that I took the time to enjoy life, care for myself, and explore who I truly am.

Week FourTuesday The major event today was attending the STI Talent Search at Main Square Molino. I arrived exactly at the time we were told to be there, but the place was already packed, and we had nowhere to sit. We were required to attend as part of our Understanding the Self subject. Normally, our class lasts an hour and a half this day, but we had to attend this event, which took nearly six hours.

As I mentioned, there was no seating when we arrived, so we ended up standing for hours. We were exhausted by the time we finished the last agenda item, which was the Miss STI pageant. We were actually looking forward to that part of the event, so we stayed through all the rounds. After the contestants completed their tasks, we decided to leave, even though the winners hadn't been announced yet. We felt like we'd completed the event since we'd been there for hours.

On our way home, we received an announcement from our instructor. In addition to signing in on the yellow pad paper when we arrived (at our own expense), we were also required to take a picture of the event as it was happening, particularly during the announcement of the winners—which happened just after we left. Since I didn’t get a picture before we left, I’m unsure if I’ve fulfilled the requirement for good attendance in our hour-and-a-half-long subject. That’s been bothering me. Writing it down as a form of self-care helps me feel a little better and we still make it fun by taking pictures.

Week Three Saturday I woke up at 10 AM and started getting ready since I had plans to meet up with a friend to go over our long list of school tasks, just to make sure we didn’t miss anything important. We also wanted to hang out, especially since only one class this week wasn’t canceled. We decided to check out a thrift store—it’s been ages since I last went thrifting because the one near my place burned down. It felt great to go again! Honestly, thrifting feels like a form of self-care for me. There’s something so satisfying about finding cute clothes, and it gets me excited to plan outfits around them for the future. As we talked, the conversation drifted into something deeper—at what point in our lives will we become like those adults who just seem so sure of themselves? They always know how to respond to life’s challenges with ease, as if they’ve figured everything out. I’ve noticed I’ve come a long way in that regard. I’m definitely more confident than I was a few years ago, and I’m not afraid to speak up for myself appropriately. It’s been a journey, one that I’m still on. Self-discovery is an ongoing process, and I feel like every little experience—helps me learn more about who I. The photos I took today are just random snaps, and the rest of the day is dedicated to reviewing handouts. It’s a bit of a balance—caring for myself while staying on top of my responsibilities.

Week Three Thursday My journal always starts with, "We had our first in-person class after a long break due to suspensions." It’s fun not having to wake up early for school, but it’s a nightmare once we’re back. We’re really behind on lessons, and the workload just keeps piling up, including everything we missed during the suspensions. Overall, it’s a love-hate relationship, haha! Yesterday, we canceled our karaoke plans, deciding to save it as a reward after the quiz. Not only is karaoke delayed indefinitely, but what was supposed to be a simple quiz turned into a long one. I’m feeling really overwhelmed with the amount of schoolwork and the handouts we need to review, especially with prelims coming up soon. The weather is making me feel gloomy, too. I used to love the rain—still do, but not as much. Now that I’m older, I notice the negative things it brings: the mess outside, people’s homes being affected, and so on. Today, we had online classes, which didn’t go well for me since I wasn’t prepared, and the internet connection was bad. It’s been a pretty rough day. :( I put photos from yesterday to add something fun in this sad journal, the one photo is from my online lessons.
