Influenza, Requirements, Three Stooges Syndrome and The Usual Titles that Go Like This

I didn't post last week because I was feeling sick. I didn't post the week before that because I had a flu. Sorry, guys. I guess I just feel too sick and sleepy to go to the computer and post regularly.

More than 12 requirements (long tests, projects) are due next week. If I didn't notice that kind of schedule we're given on the last week of the quarter, then... I don't really know what to do besides being shocked. And the last week of the quarter means that the exams are near. Then what does the periodical exams being near mean?

I also went to the seminar on Speech Choirs. The project sounds hard, but the seminar was fun and I learned lots from it. Maybe a lot on how to present the piece, but I liked the stuff on how to lead the presentation. The tips help because of some problems I'm having with "group dynamics" for a project now.

And there's a new problem that bothers me. Somehow, feelings about things are piling up that I don't know which one I'm affected by more. Just like the Three Stooges Syndrome from The Simpsons. Lots of stuff tick me off, stress me out, mortify me or the feelings that just make everything all jumbled up. But I don't know how to be relieved of them.

I seriously want to do stuff in the computer now, like code layouts or draw something, or at least do something that isn't school-related, but the load doesn't allow (Lots of cramming work to do. Yay.).

I feel the long weekend slipping through my hands already. For the first 2.5 days of it, I played the Magna Carta game that I quit and dug out again. I can't find any new RPGs to play. For the rest of it, I worked on this layout and went out somewhere.

It's been a while since I've been designing layouts. I started this one when some inspiration from other people's sites (probably caused by envy of their cool layouts) hit me like typhoon Florita just recently. This one looks like it was thought of for a week, considering my tendency to procrastinate with these things. It only took me 30 minutes to make the graphics and an hour to fix everything else. Just like the other layouts, it looks weird. Weird and bright.

My sister says it doesn't fit me and the way I post. The blue and the gray were part of the original plan, since my blog is kind of calm and discreet. I just added orange because I was forced to look at color wheels recently for a project. It contrasts with the other colors, making it look less dull. I just don't know if it reflects my personality. What kind of person am I, if I'm even one?

I also "rediscovered" some old scraps of paper from before, and I found a story that I thought of, supposedly for the English Sci-Fi play last year. It was a different one from the other story I suggested. It's about people in a new settlement in a far-off planet after the Earth was destroyed by... I don't know. I didn't continue it because I couldn't think of some details in the plot. After that, I created a soundtrack for it in case that was the story we were going to present. Mostly Guilty Gear themes and some others. Also tried sketching how the characters look like, the locations, etc. I feel a little bad that I didn't go on working on it.

Currently absorbed with:

• Homework. Oh, man.


• Trying to fix the header part of the layout.


• Magna Carta: Tears of Blood


• Trying another layout


• Completing the story about people in a new settlement in a far-off planet after the Earth was destroyed by... I don't know. I should give it a title.

I just noticed that this is my 101th post in this blog. Ah, well.

The weekend is here!

And it's really relieving. A break from the hectic and insanity-inducing schedule at school. Even the homework for next week is less than what we usually have. I'm even done with most of them. All that's left is to study for the long tests for the week.

I'm kinda stuck here. Here's a site that was suggested in School Arts (forgot what issue) for some inspiration for our Art project. We were assigned to do something like Monet's Water Lilies. I don't really have ideas yet.

We're going to Tagaytay tomorrow. Um, yeah. I forgot how it looks like since it's been a while I've gone there. The last time was on a Grade 4 field trip, but we only visited a retreat house.

I want to make some more new pages for some sites, play video games, draw stuff and take pictures but my sked doesn't seem to allow.

I want new batteries for my digicam. I haven't been going out recently, heheh.


I crave for... lasagna.

That was random. Will post next time.

Increasing workload. And it's just the 3rd week. Now that is an example of exponential growth.

Now I know that the upperclassmen and the teachers weren't exaggerating when they said that sophomore year is really busy. Performance-wise, well, I'm not sure. Lots of homework every night, so my average bedtime is around eleven pm. Not much time to enjoy the weekend because were busy doing projects and studying for long tests. Right now, I'm typing a few reports due this week. I've still got to finish my submission for the Art Club.

The project involving this made my weekend somewhat miserable, even though it was easy to find interviewees. I also liked the painting *might be stoned by other classmates*, but I fear that no one will be able to really describe it.

Despite all that, I'm enjoying school. I like (almost) all of my classes. The teachers are understanding when it comes to lessons. My classmates and most batchmates are easy to get along with. I hope there would still be those stuff that'll keep me optimistic about school.

Oh, come on. I'm dying here. I hope I could have a good dinner and sleep enough tonight.
