Hiatus Once Again

I'm going on hiatus.

It's the first time I've announced this without thinking about it too much. And I pretty sure I want to. I need to settle offline things first and motivate myself to write.

Signing off until around the 2nd week of August.

I Don't Offer to Take Other People's Trash Out

Do I still look like a doormat?

Seriously, it hurts one's dignity.


Oh, well. In other news, I may not feel as busy as last week, but I should be. And I should be worrying about Math and "more important matters" right now instead of posting. I hope this doesn't call for another hiatus.

Signing off.

I want my printer to work. I need it to work. It's got to be a lot easier to have your printer working than having to go to town before 8 pm to get school reports printed. You won't have to shell out 8 pesos per page. And you also get to print out any miscellaneous notes.

Life must be easier if your printer actually works and just doesn't sit on top of the desk, gathering dust and using up space.


Seems like the title input box doesn't work.

Ignorance does lead to mortal sin

Thou shall not steal. Or in this case, thou shall not plagiarize.

Which I did, unintentionally. I forgot to put at least quotation marks on direct quotes in my STR research summaries. One reason was because I lost half of that requirement yesterday and got it back a few minutes before submission. And that I was half-asleep while doing the assignment.

I wish these kinds of details on quoting sources, and the details and deadlines of requirements, were clarified a long time ago. I wouldn't have tried to jump off the stairs after today's class if I knew.

I deserve it and all the academic mess-ups that are waiting to happen this week because I'm being myself. Yay for self-pity.

I'm still in a bad mood. What a week.

Signing off.

What have I done that made the universe conspire to make my week awful?

I'm such an idiot.

I LOST MY STR LIBRARY SOURCES, AS WELL AS THE INFO I NEED TO WRITE MY HOMEWORK WORTH 10% OF MY GRADE WHICH IS DUE TOMORROW.

I'm being an idiot this week.

How bad can this get?

And there's a pretty good chance I will start getting incident reports for these losses. And that I will lose my temper. And sanity.

Signing off.

The Problematic Child Whines Once Again

After cooling off for a while, the thing I was about to asphyxiate myself for seems like just another problem right now, and a sign I need to take anger and stress management seriously.

And another problem pops up. I just got reminded that the final draft for the Filipino essay is due next week. The next essay, which is a long test, will be on the same week. One more essay is due by the end of the month. And I remembered that I'm not really good at writing in Filipino. Finally, after remembering the other problems I have with academics, I now ask myself whether I'm going to survive this quarter with my sanity intact.

There's also the STR requirement for Wednesday which I'm not done with yet.

And I suspect I left my pencil case in the Bio classroom this morning. Does that earn me an IR?

What a horrible way to start the week. Two very negative posts on the same day.

You don't have to mind me, though. I'll get over it. Somehow.

...How was I going to deal with things again?

Dishonor and Shame?

Or did my pride just get hurt?

Doesn't matter to anyone. It was a stupid, stupid mistake to commit. A very minor mistake. It's very minor so it'll really be stupid of someone to make that kind of mistake. Something no one would expect me to do. I didn't study as well as I wanted to for a test, and then flunked by 2.5 points.

Okay. If you thought that it was something else, then you're horribly mistaken. And probably dirty-minded.

I slip up once for the first time, tell people the outcome and everyone related to me wants to disown me already. I'm thought of as irresponsible and having a messed-up judgment. They lose all trust and ignore me. I'm thinking no one at home will talk to me for more than a month because of that.

I'm exaggerating, but I'm still upset.

And my hands still aren't discolored and swollen enough. It's only because it's hard to wash off blood stains.

I'm still exaggerating but still really upset.

Signing off.

Our computer isn't working at home, so I'm here at a computer rental shop near the market. Pretty good equipment here, but I'm in a hurry to go home and get back to my homework and cellphone (I forgot it.) so this'll be quick.

From all these essay assignments I've done these past weeks I found out that I have a hard time concluding them. I think it even carries over to the way I blog.

So now I don't have time to finish this post. Next time.

See. I don't know how to state conclusions. Or write coherently under time pressure.
