I have one paper left! YEY! But I don't really have any reason for celebrating because the remaining paper, which is "Mechanics of Materials", is the one that I'm least confident about. I never really had a thing for statics and mechanics. I'd rather explain the whole polymer processing process than solve a complicated mechanics problem. That's how much I dislike mechanics. So for me to overcome this dislike for this subject, I have to say this to motivate myself:

I LOVE MECHANICS!

(Eew)

Anyway, I just finished today the ordeal of having to take 3 papers for 3 consecutive days. And I must say, I was really stressed out during these 3 days of continuous mugging/studying (and interspersed with some excessive eating and doing crazy dances with ivy). The first of the 3-stressor-papers, which was "Characterization of Materials", was kinda disappointing. I thought it was gonna be easy for this subject so I just allocated 2 days of studying for it. But I was wrong! I just realized on the 1st day of studying that we had to remember lots of stuff! Just looking at the past year papers made me wanna puke. Well, thanks to a friend who told us that the topics related to Kikuchi lines (sounds funny right?) and selected area diffraction were included in the questions (Don't bother asking me what these are. They're just too complicated), and I didn't have to worry about what's gonna come out. But unforunately/fortunately, the Kikuchi lines were not included. I really haven't studied on them so I thought I was lucky. Anyway, let's move on to the second of the 3-stressor-papers, which was "Principles of Economics". I thought the paper was better than I expected. I really didn't like economics. For me, it's a subject that teaches you how to be greedy, selfish and insensitive to others. There was one question in one of the tutorials where they ask some stuff about Jack and Jill carrying either 1 pail or 2 pails of water, earning money, sharing profits, blablabla. And then it asks us what they would do if we assume that they're self-interested and their only aim is to maximize their profits. And to think that they are just simple nursery-rhyme kids! This question has really turned them into little monsters thinking only about profits and not caring about each other's welfare. Some of you may be thinking that I'm insane, but that's just how I feel about these stuff. Anyway, for me to be able to study this subject well, I had to hide the Superego and let my Ego do the studying. So for one night, I had to ignore all my emotions that I almost felt like I was some sort of a robot. And good for me, I think, because I am quite confident that I'm gonna get at least a B for it. Not bad for a hated subject right? Add the fact that I learned right after taking this paper that Constantine was booted out of the AI competition, this paper just made my day. Now on to the last paper, which was "Working in the 21st Century", the exam, as I say, was just hilarious. The night before the paper, I and ivy were busy memorizing a lot of stuff. We really reached a point where our brains had to give up and give way to the craziness that desperately wanted to come out of it. Picture me singing, dancing, fake-crying and fake-laughing at the same time. That's how crazy I went! Luckily/Unluckily, the things we had to memorize only came out in the multiple choice questions. And for the essay questions, they were more like the describe-this-then-give-your-opinion-about-it type than the just-write-what-you-memorized-dork! type. So overall, the paper was just OK. Also, the paper was supposed to be for 2 hours, but after 1 hour and 15 minutes passed, the invigilator/announcer started telling us that we only had 15 minutes left to finish the paper and that we aren't allowed to leave the exam hall and blablaba. I was like, WHAT? Then I started looking around and found many startled students. After the invigilator/announcer was corrected that we still have 45 minutes left, he apologized and told us to just continue. I just laughed after that. This thing doesn't happen all the time, and it was simply too hilarious to just dismiss. But hopefully this doesn't happen during my last paper because I would really freak out, especially if I don't bring a watch with me! Talking about the last paper, I have to go sleep now so I could study for it tomorrow.

I just realized that I had written too much about exams that I have to scold myself for doing so! HEHE

As for the Cebuano/Bisaya entry, just wait til' I finish my last paper. For now, enjoy joycie's entry. It's really hilarious! It made me think of my own childhood.

That's it for now.

P.S. ... P.S. I love you, mahal mo ba si Gabby, yes or no?

Hahaha
