Today is the day I've been waiting for since last week. Because today marked the end of continuously stressful nights.... today unofficially ended hell week. And just when I thought the sun has shone down on me... lightning crashes.

Our PE teacher is playing the evil god. He decided not to teach and to make our long tests consecutive because we are so hard to teach. Well excuse me, I personally think that it is his responsibility to teach even if the circumstance is difficult. Besides, it's not like he makes the lesson interesting or even tries to be interested in teaching. Heck he's always late - 10-15 minutes always. And he blames his students for being uninterested. Ok sure teaching style.... whatever. He is not consistent with any teaching style he tries to project. When PAASCU accreditations were on-going, he came extra early, in a barong and very prepared for lecture: with all these acetates connected to our lesson. The point is, look it's not our fault that today he came in late, don't he ever blame us for his incompetence with regards to punctuality and instruction techniques.

Anyway....
the psych long test was easy enough.......but the Spanish long test was a psychotic killer on the loose! I don't expect anything high... I'll be happy with a D - I just want to pass that's all. Personally, I found it hard. What made me feel worse was the fact that right after the test, Chinkin, a friend of mine from the BS Pysch course, started talking to me in (should I say perfect?) Spanish! I was amazed and at the same time sorry for myself... I couldn't even understand the majority of what he was saying! Is it just me or is everyone better in Spanish than I am? I have a theory though, that Bacolodians really excel in Spanish because it's somewhat connected in one way or another... at least conjugations are - something like that.... I don't know if this is true, but the Bacolodians in my Spanish class are really good at it... and Chinkin grew up in Bacolod.... and he claims that Spanish is really easy.
Wow. I wish I could say that too.

Another reason why I was so looking forward to this day is because of the swimming session a few of my blockmates and I have set every TTH, right after foreign language classes. I let out. I didn't exactly swim myself off (that would be suicide, I couldn't even pace my breathing as much anymore!) but I did swim a few laps that let my stress and tension go away. It was a personal nirvanna in the pool. I'm doing it again... I'm going swimming this Thursday. I think I'll be swimming every Tuesday and Thursday from this day on, as part of my regular exercise. I hafta stay in shape especially now that summer's just a few weeks away. Boracay's calling baby! hehe.

Anyhow.... I'll take my much awaited rest. It's nice to write again after such a long while of not really writing much.

I'll be the first to greet people though... Happy Valentine's day!
