This blog was supposed to be in last Friday, but things don't always go as planned...

Friday was an ordinary day. Yay! I was to meet with my mom! It will be the first time I will be seeing her after a month. I miss home. BUt I couldn't meet her for lunch. Schedule. Don't ask.

While I was having a sumptuous carbonara at the GAB, we were talking about the Math departmental exam that was supposed to take place later that day. Yes, after a few days of postponing, it's finally here.

We were all so eager. We were at the appointed venue way before the schedule. On the way there, I saw my old friend! Well, she saw me. Was this an omen? We chatted a bit, and then we huged for goodbye and good luck. Gosh. I miss her. The last time I talked to her was last Independence day.

5:30 came, but still no Herbie. After a few minutes, he showed up wearing this sinister grin. What has he got hidden under his necktied short-sleeved shirt? Hmmm...

We went inside the room, thinking that we could choose any seat we wanted. He shooed us out and made us line up according to height! What logic...

Then the seating arrangement. Yes, I was seated beside my most favorite person (for background info, read previous blog). Goodness.

Anyway, as the test go on, I realized that what was in front of me was what I expected: really hard stuff. Ouch. It was my first Math exam and I was still testing the waters.

As two hours flew past, I was already anticipating Herbie calling the test over. But no! We extended. Wow. How generous of him. After 30 minutes of extension time, it was still apparent that nobody wanted to be the first to pass his/her papers. Oh well. BUt after a few minutes, some souls really got sick of numbers enough to leave. After a total of 45 minutes of extension time, we were already wondering why we were extending so much! So some of us asked. Until sawa, our beloved teacher declared. After that he added "5 more minutes." So much for camping out and sleeping over at UP. That 5 minutes stretched into another 15 minutes! I was so hungry by this time, and my head was throbbing. Ugh.

We started 5:45 and ended at 8:45. I got out of UP by 9. My mom was waiting for me for more than three hours! Oh no. We (my room mates and I) ruched to Robinson's and we found her. She treated us to dinner while we chatted, no, screamed about that exam.

Oh well. To Hell with numbers. And H*****.

I slept peacefully that night even though that stupid test wouldn't get out of my mind. It was my bitter lullabye. I slept till past noon of the next day! THen I decided to get up and meet with my mom. She was going back home that afternoon. So sad. Oh well, we'll still see each other someday.

It was still to early to go home so I decided to catch a movie. I decided to watch Superman Returns because I haven't seen it still! I fell in love with the movie! Need I say more?

Then I bought a book--Interview with the Vampire. I've almost finished the witches and now I'm starting with the vampires.

Good read, even though I have an exam 2 days after. I still haven't opened my notebook.

Today was an exciting day. This was the day I'll be witnessing my first whole UAAP game. In the court! I was so excited! The game was between UP and Ateneo, a game between two old rivals. Academic and all else. During the first part of the game, I was still shy to cheer aloud but as the game progressed, I fould myslef standing, shouting, and clapping! I was so involved! NO wonder some people get addicted to this! It was so much fun!

Ateneo was leading. Ugh. But there is still hope. We can win this. But sometime during the fourth quarter, Marvin Cruz (a great UP player) graduated! Oh no! Many evil things happened and we lost the game. Did I say we? I am part of UP, you know. I won't dwell on the loss part, but the game was very good! It was worth every penny. I can't wait til the next game.

My gosh. I have an exam in a few hours and I'm still typing this blog. Gotta go...
