| A helpful guide to people in and just about to enter college... |
[May 03, 2008 @ 6:05am] |
Got this from Joe A.
HOW TO WRITE A COLLEGE PAPER
1. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a well lit place in front of your computer.
2. Log onto YM (With the busy status!). Check your email.
3. Read over the assignment carefully, to make certain you understand it.
4. Head out to the kitchen for some chocolate to help you concentrate.
5. Check your LJ/Multiply/Twitter/Facebook/Friendster/DeviantArt.
6. Text a friend and ask if he/she wants to go to grab a coffee. Just to get settled down and ready to work.
7. When you get back to your room, sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a clean, well lit place.
8. Read over the assignment again to make absolutely certain you understand it.
9. Check your LJ/Multiply/Twitter/Facebook/Friendster/DeviantArt.
10. You know, you haven't texted/YMed that old friend since fourth grade. You'd better do that now and get it out of the way so you can concentrate.
11. Look at your teeth in the bathroom mirror.
12. Grab some mp3s off of LimeWire/BitTorrent.
13. Check your LJ/Multiply/Twitter/Facebook/Friendster/DeviantArt. ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR YET?!
14. YM/text with one of your friends about the future. (ie summer plans, block party).
15. Check your LJ/Multiply/Twitter/Facebook/Friendster/DeviantArt.
16. Listen to your new mp3s and download some more.
17. YM/text your friend and ask if she's started writing yet. Exchange derogatory remarks about your prof, the course, the college, the world at large.
18. Drink some water.
19. Notice the old magazine in the kitchen. Read it.
20. Check your LJ/Multiply/Twitter/Facebook/Friendster/DeviantArt. Check you email too.
21. YM/text some people to make sure you aren't missing something truly worthwhile on TV.
22. Play some Solitaire (Or Pinball).
23. Check out Yahoo.com
24. Wash your hands.
25. YM/text a friend to see how much they have done, probably haven't started either.
26. Look through your blockmate's Multiply album of pictures from that party. Ask who everyone is.
27. Sit down and do some serious thinking about your plans for the future.
28. Check your LJ/Multiply/Twitter/Facebook/Friendster/DeviantArt. Look over your online contacts on YM.
29. Check your LJ/Multiply/Twitter/Facebook/Friendster/DeviantArt WHILE listening to your new mp3s.
30. Your PC/laptop just crashed, given too many open windows plus the mp3s playing. Reboot, and carry on.
31. Read over the assignment one more time, just for heck of it.
32. Scoot your chair across the room to the window and watch the sunrise.
33. Lie face down on the floor and moan.
34. Punch the wall and break something.
35. Check your LJ/Multiply/Twitter/Facebook/Friendster/DeviantArt. And you contacts on YM. No one’s online, yeah? But just look through them anyway.
36. Mumble obscenities.
37. 5am - start hacking on the paper without stopping. 6am -paper is finished.
38. Complain to everyone that you didn't get any sleep because you had to write that stupid paper.
39. Go to class, hand in paper, and cut out of it so you can take a nap.
40. Check your LJ/Multiply/Twitter/Facebook/Friendster/DeviantArt.

| A Clouded Mind by me :D |
[October 14, 2007 @ 6:38pm] |

A breath of tainted heavens, An inhale of positive senses, Screaming down my lungs as it glides away, A hit of reality passes by, A dash of wishful thinking, Storming around my head in circles, A blow of hindrance away, A puff of tension released, Extinguishing all stress I am thinking… Thinking, Thinking of good reasons why, In case someone asks, I say, “I need it for stress and things you wouldn’t understand.” Again thinking, Realizing on the effects, Just in case I get one of them, I say, “I have lived a good life.”

It's been a while since I last updated this journal. So many things has been happening. Strange, stupid, crazy, hurtful, hectic, and fun stuff. I'm still worried about college. I still haven't decided on which college I'm going to. Benilde results doesn't come out till Monday (can't sleep!). I really do hope I get the scholarship in Benilde, if not I'm off to UP. These past few months have been a flash of events. Everything just seems so fast. Were out of school in less than a month, and even that hasn't sunk in. We still have tons to do. What's up with that? Aren't we supposed to be chillin right now, ready and packed to head for the beach? Instead, we're stuck at home doing bullshit projects. I hope the effort we give in to these projects are worth it. Me, abbie, angeline, and fine, jutin, were absent because of the CL magazine. I was really happy with how it came out. Anyway, we still have Art, Science(brochure), DRAMAFEST, and I bet a teacher is just waiting to in some evil corner with his/her evil plans to make us do another project. Hope this school year ends! Things get pretty stupid when people are drunk. Who can blame them? How about the people you hurt? I hope people realize what they did. I'm sure they're sorry about it. Time is the only thing that can make things better. There's no excuse for what people do. Deal with it.
Friends are the best. This Valentines would not be complete without my barkada. It was fun just hanging out for a change. What a stress reliever. I love them forever, forever they'll be loved by me. My class is great too. Last year was still the best but this year still comes close. I'm gonna miss everyone. I'm sure some of us won't see each other anymore. I still hope we have the best time in the last few weeks here in out school.
Peace. Everywhere.

A story you tell with a special someone. A memory of you and a nice person talking your lives away. A song to sing when you feel there’s no hope. A book to read and finish being satisfied and full. A nice soak in the tub after that stressful day. A rainy afternoon to let your troubles fly away. A day with your friends just chilling the rest of the day. The smell of an orange when you peel it. A family you see all together, smiling, having a good time. A secret you let out to someone you treasure and trust most. A test you aced but didn’t study for at all. A face you see on that hall everyday that makes you smile. A hug from that old friend you didn’t see for a few years. The first sip of vodka on your 14 birthday. A food you craved for and finally having it for dinner. Hearing the words, “it’s gonna be ok” even if you know it’s not. A person who knows exactly how you feel during those crappy times. That album you’ve been looking for months that happened to pop out on a garage sale. A tv show you wait for every night. A compliment from your parents. A new thing you’ve learned that can actually help you in your life. A project that you finally finish after working 3 straight days. The smell of the herbs you grow on your garden. A nice walk in the park just thinking about everything. A moment when you find your song. A dance you never got to do. A kiss you never got to experience. A time when you let a friend down who counted on you so much. A storm on a Saturday morning, and that you don’t have to get up. A joyride around the village with your dads car.

There's just too many. I know I started already but I'm still freakin nervous.
I hope nobody gets mental block. It's what everyone's dreading.
I'm going through Chemistry right now. I don't know anything! All the bonds and laws and molecules!
I also lost my Biology book. So I can't start studying for it. Anyone finished with their Bio?
Can I please borrow?
I'm still tired from studying with Carrie yesterday over the phone. But we all have to study right?
Just keep on going!
