Didn't Feel Like A Weekend At All

I'm so thankful that I've finally gotten my much needed long nap a couple of hours ago. I still have a trillion things to do now but tonight, I'm taking it slow or else I might just.. I don't know, evaporate.

So last Friday, I came to school early for thesis meeting. Then later that day, I stayed until 8pm for history report meeting. Although I'm kind of happy about that 'coz it was a pretty productive one. So that night I went home, crashed in my bed while brainstorming for a tvc idea for class the next day.

I got up at around 6am the next morning to a non-idea-generating brain. So had to sit around and stare into space for a long time until I managed to formulate something in my head, which turned out to be sucky (I thought it was great though, but it wasn't one of my prof's "noted" submissions that day. arg. I have no future in advertising.).

So I got back home to rest for a couple hours until I launch into another project: the "Making History" paper for...yep, you guessed it. History class. It's supposed to be a paper or a creative piece that illustrates how Philippine history can be made relevant in our lives today. Of course at first it was like, duh, this is pointless. But we gotta do it or else fail so... There. I initially thought of writing a "seditious play" like the ones made in the American period, but I just didn't have time. So after hours of conceptualizing the least ridiculous plot my fuzzy head's capable of thinking, I came up with a superhero version of the Philippine history from the Spanish era until the return of MacArthur.

As usual, I thought I could finish it in 8 hours or less. It was a short story, after all. But the story dragged on... until 10 pages, single spaced. True, that doesn't sound too bad. But it was. I typed for 14 hours straight (except for bathroom breaks, lunch, and dinner). Started at around 10AM Sunday morning (I've written the Author's note the previous night) and finished at about 1AM Monday morning. Printed it, and fell asleep at around 2.

You'd think, okay, so at least you finished it. You could rest now.

But wait!

There's another paper due today!

It was the last day of submissions for our philosophy reflection paper. Goodness, that was such a headache. It's supposed to be a reflection paper about the film we watched during midterms week, but that was already a month ago. I can barely remember the scenes. And we have to formulate a question around which the paper would revolve and try to answer. So since my brain was basically mush when I reluctantly woke up at 6AM awhile ago, I thought of the stupidest question ever. I hope my prof doesn't give me a big fat F. I mean, I did answer the question and utilized the lessons we had (I even had footnotes and everything). I just wish I at the very least get a C+ for that. I even cut my beloved Horror Film class just to finish it. :( I missed my weekly dose of scares...

That's why I'm watching Prom Night tonight. :) Yey! A lot of people said that it's crap, but whatever. I need something to relax. I did have a movie night with my bro last Saturday. We had loads of chips (hence the almost 5-lb gain) and watched REC. My bro was such a potty mouth the whole time. I'd love to bring him to Horror Film class one day and see what my prof would do with his non-stop cussing.

So tonight, after drafting another thing for history report, I finally have a few hours to kick back and enjoy. Tuesdays are supposed to be bum days for me since I don't have class the whole day, but September is really proving to be one heck of a hell month because I have to go to school tom for a photoshoot and then afterwards, 4:30 onwards (I wonder until what time onwards is), is another meeting for history report. Argh. Then maybe we'll have another thesis meeting Wed morning, then again history report meeting in the afternoon, and then thesis consultations Thursday morning (8AM!!!) then again history crap that afternoon....

When will it END?!?!?!
