the prelim that was

prelim of this semester was such a big bulk of challenge on my part. i really stumbled and sort of searched for who i am? what is my purpose and why are all these things happening to me?

let me enumerate them here...
1. we had this family problem. my mother had a mayoma and she had to undergo an operation. actually, i could choose to ignore her, but hey she is my mother... so i really went out of my way to visit her in the hospital and be the in charge of the house for almost a month. well my academics was affected, not to mention that it is becoming more and more intense and demanding... but we survived... she survived and she is recovering... praise God...

2. the ever increasing expectations, requirements and exams from our teachers... well, as expected, as you go higher you should expect a more difficult load... but it is just so unusual because i think the level of difficulty of all the subjects is quadrupled compared to last sem's... well, that means that my school is competent, but i hope i could still keep up with it...(sigh)

3. i think, i had 4-5 hours of sleep on the average for this semester... but you know miraculously, my eye bags have not grown that much... cute parin... hehe. but sometimes, i find myself sleepy inside the classroom... i don't drink coffee kasi even though it claims to contain antioxidants... anyways... im trying to recharge once more...

4. time management is in question... granting that i have this family problem (my mother operated last november) and a bulk of academic subjects... i also have a lot of extra curricular involvements right? (o, i remember, i still have to write an article for the SICO magazine, anyways.) this means that ehem... i am short of time and i am very confused of what to prioritize... but as the CCO president says it... "you are STUDENT-leaders, you are students before you became leaders, so you have to first prioritize your studies bewfore anything else..."

5. no time for self. as a result of the lack of time, then it follows that i also don't have time for myself. so you see this poor blog, unupdated not until today. but of course i'm trying to make up with myself this christmas break. i really need this break before i break... (get it?)

well, all i can say is... thank you Juseus for being born to this world... because of your birth, we now have this celebration called Christmas which gives us some time out from out usual loads and get to celebrate the season.

Praise the Lord!!!
