Ohizashiburi!!!

It’s been so long. I haven’t updated my blog in months and I feel terrible, but I couldn’t bring myself to write anything.

It’s past 2 in the morning and I’m at Hannah’s house with Hannah and Dani. We just ate a lot of McDonald’s and are waiting for the full feeling to go away.

 

I’m off to college next Monday! I’m actually excited now, unlike a month ago. I think it’s because I’ve signed up for my classes and have my schedule already. It’s funny how I’m classmates with Hannah in all my classes except for PE and Math. We would’ve been classmates for math too, but we realized just a while ago that I was put in the basic math class. Which I think is because I had a low score in the math portion of the ACET, so yeah. Sucks, because that means I’m having summer class this year. Booooo. I hope I get moved up or something.

So that’s college news.

On Nihongo news, I was offered a tutoring opportunity today. My mom’s employee’s friend needs a tutor because she’s going to Japan in August, and they asked me, which is so awesome because I’ve been looking for a source of income for forever, and this was so well-timed. It’s cool, thank God for this. I hope it works out well. I’m not entirely confident in my ability to teach someone Nihongo, though Sensei thinks I can do it. But I need to prepare. Exciting, that.

 

I’m getting sleepy now, and I can’t write properly anymore. More decent entries coming soon, I promise. I’m going to write about college. And stuff. More often from now on. And I’m planning to finally start my Nihongo blog. I hope.  I really hope. No. I will. Okay.

Ang batang magaling sa factoring, malayo ang mararating.

So today I went to school with my family, and in the afternoon my friend’s younger brother came over so I could help him with factoring. I got to see his notes and his textbook and stuff before he came over, and I’d forgotten all that already. Greatest Common Factors and the sum or difference of two cubes? Heavens.

I regret losing my first year math notebook. I remember Ms. Camacho telling us never to lose that, to guard it with our lives. Now I know why. Sigh.

I’m the worst tutor in the history of worst tutors. I wasn’t sure about what I was talking about, and if he understood anything, it wasn’t because of me. I feel sort of bad that he had to put up with me for two hours.

I am now going to go hunt for my first year math notebook. And review factoring.

I’m sick. o_o

Don’t ask me what I’m sick with, I’m not entirely sure. But you’d rather not hear anyway, it’s far from pleasant. But I’ve been sick a lot lately. Which is weird and scary and today it just got scarier. Must get better. Yeah.

JLPT is over and all I have to think about is graduating and getting into Ateneo or UP, and the Sunday School play. And getting better. And life.

Oh, So Much to Do….

Holly Kennedy: I don’t want to make any mistakes.

Gerry Kennedy: Then you’re in the wrong species, love. Be a duck.

Hahaha, I found that on Ate Nadja’s blog. It’s funny, what.

I’m going to repeat what Bianca said– 20 shirts to finish by December 14! OH yay. Hmmm, we can do it! We have friends who love us, and will help do those 20 shirts. XDD Consider yourselves warned.

And for me… 20 chapters of Minna no Nihongo to go before December 7! Really, that I didn’t start studying until now. Tsk tsk tsk.

And school, besides that. Which I really should get back to now.

ACET, Done.

I took the ACET this morning. Two down, two to go. Or three. Besides La Salle and St. Benilde, I might take the exam for UA&P as well. Blaster was encouraging me to take the exam at PMA, but I didn’t. (I didn’t want to at first, but now I’m sort of regretting not taking it. He said it was a real experience.)

I found the ACET easier than the UPCAT in a way.In a lot of ways, actually. During the UPCAT there was Filipino language and reading comprehension besides the English, which really tired me out. There were no Filipino parts in the ACET. There was an essay, but I’ll have that over Filipino reading comprehension anytime.

I was more afraid of the ACET than the UPCAT because people kept talking about the time pressure, but I found the whole, 25 items in 5 minutes thing easier than the 70 or so items in an hour we did for the UPCAT.

The math parts were hard for me, so I just guessed my way through them. haha.

It wasn’t so bad, really. I felt no pressure, which is weird. I think maybe I’m just a naturally calm person. I don’t mind. Now all I have to do is wait for the results in January.
