The Weekend.

Our internet at home is busted, so I haven’t gone online in two days. I’m using Nest’s internet, which is also acting up, but still working, which is awesome.

So the UPCAT results came out last Saturday, and Hannah was the one who informed me again. XD I couldn’t check it myself since the internet was busted, so I asked her to check for me, and guess what? I wasn’t admitted. Haha. I used to say I didn’t pass, but my mom thinks I passed and they just don’t want to accept me because I’m home schooled and they’re biased like that. Well. Their loss. Ateneo, here I come~~ =D

Truthfully, after the ACET results came out, I didn’t care much about whether UP accepts me or not. (Right Hannah? Hahahaha.)

So yeah, Yanskeedoodle is a blue eagle. Yay!

I also had my Nihongo final on Saturday. It was a bit sad, because it was our last day as a class. A lot of us are planning to skip Elementary 4 and Intermediate 1 classes because we already reviewed them for the JLPT, and it would save a lot of money to go straight to Intermediate 2. We also won’t have the same teacher when we enroll again.

Anyway, I wasn’t confident about the finals, because I didn’t study at all, but by some miracle I managed to pass. We all passed! It’s great.

After the test, I had lunch at Yamazaki(?) with Ann-san, Pola-san, Kichi-san, Nicole-san, and Anson-san, who treated us. We talked about starting an Elem4/Intermediate1 study group since a lot of us plan to study those on our own, and that’s exciting. I hope it pulls through; I will miss my classmates.

I went home after lunch, and then got ready for Ate Nadja’s wedding, which was that evening at The Blue Leaf. I rode with Dani and Tita Dongdong, and we got there in time to hear Ate Nadja’s vows. It was a really cute wedding~ Their theme was coffee, and they had a Starbucks booth and everything. Ate Nadja and Kuya Chuck were cute. And Nicole was pretty, and I loved her hair. So yeah, that was fun. I photo boothed with Dani, Nicole, Kuya Martin, and Kuya Mike.

Sunday was chaotic. I taught Sunday School with Bianca and Hannah. I don’t know why, but whenever Bianca and I teach, it’s either we have absolutely no students, or we have so many we barely fit in the room. Yesterday, we had fifteen kids. I am seriously thankful Hannah decided to help out because otherwise, we would have died. XD It was fun though, because the kids were more responsive than usual. Just a bit hyper, but I guess that made it fun. I missed teaching, and my first class for this year will not be forgotten. Hahaha.

Ohizashiburi.

In English, it’s been a while.

My computer has officially died on me. Bye Frank.

Okay, so maybe I just gave up on it, but hey, so would you. Or not, I don’t know.

Anyway, I’ve been using my sister’s computer, and for some reason I have a hard time blogging on it. I’m picky like that.

But I’m back now (yay!) and Pat’s computer really isn’t that bad. It’s better than mine, at least.

It’s ACET weekend, and I’m not ready. By that I mean I didn’t study. I’m not nervous though, but I feel like I should be, because everyone else is. And I sort of have to pass this, because UP might not let me in. They have issues with home-schooling, or something.

So tomorrow, I’m going to shop. Hahaha. Or go out and not think of ACET. I don’t want to get nervous, and it’s not like I’ll get any studying done anyway.

I finally got around to reading the first book of The Lord of The Rings. FINALLY. I’ve had the set for two years and never read it. I’m glad I’m reading again, I sort of stopped for a while. A long while. :O

I’ve been writing more, too.

And last night I dreamed that a group of clowns in black hoods were chasing me. That was very scary, yes.

That’s all for now. It’s random, I’m sory. I’m a little out of it today. Better entries next time, promise.

No Classes, No Rain, No Effect on Me.

DepEd cancelled classes today, because of the storm. Really funny thing about when classes are cancelled is, there always seems to be no rain. It would be raining buckets and buckets the day before they cancel classes, but on the day itself, it’s really really dry.

Of course, none of this really matters to me. It can be snowing hail the size of mini-vans and I’d still have school. I’m home-schooled. One disadvantage to that is storm signals and holidays don’t affect me at all.

But otherwise, I think being home-schooled is okay. It’s great because since I have control over my schedule, I can get into a whole lot of things I’m interested in, like learning Japanese, and photography, and volunteering in church. Which I love.

It’s a bit hard though, being in control of your time, because it’s very tempting to slack off. I mean, if I didn’t like the stuff I had to study for a certain day, I could decide to just do one tiny part of it. Which is very bad, because then you could get delayed. Which is what’s happening to me. I’ve only just begun to learn how to prioritize things recently, when I needed to get my grades for this school year complete so I can apply for college.

My system was all wrong this year, I left all the hard subjects (math and chemistry) for last, which was a big mistake, because I’m really slow with math and chemistry, and I don’t like them much, so I did the, dividing it into little parts thing. Baaaaaad. So, I ended up cramming them all during the end of the summer.

It’s very hard to do this, so if you’re planning to be home-schooled, don’t do what I did. You’ll feel your brain turning into mush, I kid you not. And you’ll end up not being able to go out. Because school is priority.

Balance is good. And focus. Focus is good. And important. I think one reason I got behind was because I had the attention span of a two-year-old (that’s not to say all two-year-olds have short attention spans. But, you get my drift.), once it got boring, I’d end up with my head in the clouds.

Oh, and listening to music while studying does not help. Unless you’re trying to block out some other, more distracting noise, like your younger sister, who insists upon talking while studying. (I don’t blame her, really. It’s just her way of learning. And it’s not like I don’t talk to myself. I always talk to myself. Just not while I’m studying.)
