the wrong way.

What do you do when your eyelids are as heavy as Acme anvils , the sponge we call the brain is well beyond its capacity to absorb information and you still have roughly 50 pages to read for History, Sociology and FIlipino class? Ask me a month ago and I would have said sleep, but that was back when I gave in to my sleepyhead tendencies all the time. Now, all I have is this urgent drive not to. Still, what can you do when staying up means wasting time and not getting the job done? I better start reading handouts during my 1-hour breaks between classes. This is not going to get me anywhere near my cherished dream. Reading this late means lower memory retention, agonizing hours of battling sleepiness made worthless by waking up tomorrow with a clean slate for a brain. It's as if I never even read anything. Hay ya yay. This is bad. Really bad. I need to get ahold of another study strategy. And fast. I'm starting to resemble a racoon.

getting back on track.

Let's see. I attempted to shoot more times than my fingers and toes can count. And how many of those shots actually heard the swish of the net? One. Yes, one. The shaaaame. Here was Rickett, telling me to step up and shoot, and all I could manage was a pathetic bounce-around-the-ring-before-going-in-the-basket shot. Next time, I'd like to have a better shooting percentage naman. Oh well. All I can say is... Ang galing ni Jill! *laughs* Without her shooting, we would have lost. In our hearts, Jill still shot 2 three-pointers, not just one! :D What would have happened without the last 3-pointer she made? We would probably have gotten into overtime, and the game could have gone either way from there. Eeep. Thank goodness for Jill! *laughs*

Oh! Cel got me this binder as a pasalubong from Hongkong and I can't wait to use it and put all our handouts for History and Sociology in it! I can't even believe that I've started reading our assignment in SA 21 today, on the first day of classes! I'm a bit excited to get into nerd mode, aren't I? Let's just say I really really really want to make up for my first semester performance. It's time to move on and kick serious butt! *laughs*
