the dreaded class

my visual arts class on contemporary art is increasingly annoying me. i really don't like having to read three articles a week and stuffing them all into a weekly response. i feel like i could be doing something else (haha) or at least focusing on my more important biology class. i don't like the weekly responses so much that when i start one i can't even finish it, and really procrastinate until right before its due before throwing words up to fill in the pages and then turning it in. i keep thinking that i probably should have given this class up, and kept the other art history class i had, which definitely would have had a smaller workload. the only reason i didn't choose that class over this contemporary art class was because i would have had to buy a $150 book, which in my opinion, would have been ridiculous. so now i'm stuck with the numerous articles i have to read and write about every week, and some of these articles are more than fifteen pages each! torture for me, a person suffering from senioritis. i have to survive til june!!!! i seriously do not understand why selected readings have to be so long, or at least why we have to digest more than one long-paged article every week. almost pointless to me!!!

and that's me frustrated over the unnecessary amount of work i am doing for this class.

it's back!!!

hi!
wow! it's been a little over a year now, and i'm just returning to Xanga. i somehow forget that i have one, plus nothing really interesting to write about occurs every day so nothing much to post. it's time for spring break now, i just got done with my last final for the quarter. Easter is on Sunday so that should be fun! i'm making little baskets up for my niece and nephew. not much planned for spring break, it's only a week, i just hope it doesn't go by too quickly, i'm not ready to start another quarter of school(!) since i just got done with one today. however, i expect to graduate this June!!! more details on that when it nears.

have a good weekend

wow, so it has been again a long time since i've wrote anything in here. i've been so busy, and i also forgot that i do have a Xanga. this past quarter my days have been filled with a lot of homework and working here and there. i'm anticipating the end of the quarter because that will mean Spring Break!
so i hope all of you out there are well, and are surviving the days like i am. haha! i will have to return to this later on, possibly during break!
have a good day/week/month/quarter/semester!

so, i've noticed that it's been a few months since i've last updated. i guess i've been busy? or a bit lazy to type up anything here because sometimes i just don't like reiterating what occurred in the day. but i'll update this time.
summer school was a bit tough the first session; mamm phys is highly interesting, but the concepts seem to continually elude me, as does most of science (hah, and i'm a bio major too). second session was a whole lot better, this time i was taking two courses which i have not done before. the psyc course of human sexuality was fun because the professor was highly entertaining, and the book, well i had to keep that hidden because it was titled The Guide to Getting it On! and that's not something you just want lying around, you know? and the second course was on AIDS in the society, along with the politics there of. it was eye-opening, a subject sure to hold my attention and make me think more on this syndrome that exists all over the world, but doesn't seem real like it should be. i'm not saying that i'm blind to it, just that i knew it was there, but it didn't seem to affect me that much. after reading And the Band Played On my opinion was changed. It makes you mad, how AIDS was treated in the '80s, but gives you a profound realization and a bit understanding of the matter, if you're willing to let it do so.
the week after session two ended, around SEPT 14/15 (depending on the date and time in the Philippines), my grandpa passed away. it is a sad feeling to lose someone who lived far away, someone who i will not be able to see again. it's the so-called "first death" of the family, of a relative i really did know, so i'd tend to care a lot more. i'm accepting the fact that it occurred, i hope that my family here and in the Philippines will be able to stick together and move on together in peace.
i would discuss the new school year as a senior, but perhaps i'll leave that for some other entry, when i update again.
i'll miss you, lolo. at least you are in an even better place now, full of peace.

what an overly hot summer it has been. i know we all love the electric fans and air conditioning, but we all gotta save some electricity!

summer school's ok. i'd rather not be taking it, but i have to so all my classes won't be so packed this coming up school year.

not much to say. it's probably because it is too hot!
