I just woke up after time-travelling for 10 hours. Spending eight and a half hours in the caf yesterday just studying, gossiping, bashing annoying teachers (GAH), and playing card games results in a group of girls showing up at the exam room looking sabaw and smelling as if they spent 8 and a half hours inside a place where food is sold.
Blegh. I have a quiz for pol sci later, then the JEEP culminating activity in the afternoon. And tomorrow...the NMAT.
Don't be surprised if my brain goes 'splodey one of these days.

long ago in days of yore
9 December 2008 08:27 pmTo put it succinctly, my day went like this:
5.00-7.15am: *alarm rings* *presses snooze* *alarm rings* *presses snooze* ad infinitum, ad nauseam1
7.45-08.15am: *goes to school, ostensibly to study for a test*
08.15-10.10am: MUST STUDY PSYCH MUST STUDY PSYCH2
10.10-10.30am: *eats breakfast* *complains to friends about not being able to study properly*
10.30-12.00pm: CHEM CHEM CHEM zame zide, eppesite side3 CHEM CHEM CHEM
12.00-12.45pm: test of DOOOOOOOOOOOM
12.45-1.30pm: *compares answers with friends'* *complains about test* *eats*
1.30-4.30pm: *tries and fails to not choke on the scent of cyclohexene*
4.30-8.00pm: *brain troubleshoots itself*
Now...I'm ready to take you on, Problem Sets 3 and 4!!!
1 guess at what time I set my alarm for my 7.30 class
2 ended up not studying properly because of, among other things, the pretty blue sky
3 we took up Cahn-Ingold-Prelog nomenclature earlier, specifically E/Z descriptors

boz4pm:
Post the first couple of lines from the first entry each month of 2008.
January: Happy new year, guys! This time, let's stick to our resolutions, eh? ;p
February: Rurouni Kenshin/Star Wars crossover fusion! How can it get any better than this?
March: I've been working on my Theology paper since 11.00pm, and now it's 3.20am. It really doesn't help that I keep on falling asleep on top of my notes. (It's a wonder that I haven't drooled on my copy of the Bible yet.)
April: I just checked my email and found my final exam marks for Theo! I retained my standing! WHEE!!!
May: Heaven is eating copious amounts of ginatang halo-halo while reading fantastic crossover fanfic (Kingdom of Heaven/LotR!), with a Belle and Sebastian song playing in the background.
June: (a meme, then...) I had my eyes checked earlier, because I noticed that all throughout the summer term I kept on squinting at the blackboard/projector screen whenever I took down notes, even as I sat in the front row, wearing contact lenses.
July: Yesterday, this made me late for my first class. We were not amused.
August: So, I just watched Blackadder the Third, specifically the episode with the Scarlet Pimpernel spoof, and OH GOD I just had a brain fart! I want to read a Scarlet Pimpernel/Persuasion crossover. Badly.
September: (a UAAP-related thing I got from Multiply, then...) "Bakit ang blackheads, kung tinanggal, nagiging white?" Ladies and gentlemen, my sister.
October: (Bonfire Night pics, a meme, then...) I just woke up from a nap (in front of the laptop, no less) and a weird dream. It involved Sigmund Freud and B.F. Skinner in a Celebrity Deathmatch-type scenario, you know, that MTV show with the animated clay figures? They were vying for the title of Best Psychologist Evar.
November: (my grades, a meme, then...) Why is it that whenever I read books/fanfics set in Regency England, and the Prince Regent is mentioned, I keep on expecting the narration to go on and say, "Beside the Prince stood Sir Percy Blakeney, Bart., 'la-ing' and 'wot-ing' and generally making an arse of himself and those around him"?
December: (a meme, then...) Started research for my prelab4 at 4.30 and before I knew it, it's 6.45. I've spent more than two hours looking up chemicals and whatnot, and I haven't even started the damn report yet.

A classmate asked if we would still meet for philo class next week when we have a film-viewing session (which serves as the basis for one of the long test questions) during the same timeslot. This is an excerpt from my teacher's email to his students at large:
It must be really difficult to be one of the most feared/dreaded/hated members of the Philosophy department, isn't it? Everyone assumes the worst about you. :[
I feel so sad for him now. DDDDDDDD:
we won't be meeting in class anymore. that is precisely the point of having this supplementary but required class activity[...]besides, it will be physically impossible, wouldn't it? i know that i am difficult and demanding, but i am not cruel and irrational, right?NO HE ISN'T.

I've only just finished watching episode 3x08 of Dexter, and oh my god. The word "intense" doesn't do it justice. And that cliff-hanger at the end made me want to throw something at the screen.
I can't wait until I find time to watch 3x09. I bet it'd be fan-freaking-tastic.

the problem with the internet
16 November 2008 04:54 pmAs usual, xkcd sums up the situation perfectly (only, 'Wikipedia' ought to be substituted by 'the Internet'):
I really shouldn't be let near a computer, especially when I'm supposed to be studying. Behold, the things I've found out ever since I decided to look up 'Lebenswelt' on Google:
1. Lebenswelt is just a fancy way of saying 'the world as lived'
2. Maurice Merleau-Ponty turns out to be a disciple of Edmund Husserl. Now I understand why Husserl is namedropped in almost every other sentence in Merleau-Ponty's generally incomprehensible essay "What is Phenomenology?"
3. Martin Heidegger, whose lecture "What is Philosophy?" introduced me to thenot-so-wonderful world of philosophizing in Ph101, is described by them denizens at TIME magazine as an 'odious man with Nazi sympathies'.
4. Sigmund Freud is on the cover of the November 1993 issue of TIME magazine. The puzzle-piece thingies from his head look cool. 8D
5. Jean Piaget looks oddly endearing in this photo. And John Maynard Keynes looks more dapper than I expected.
6. According to the World Economic Forum's 2008 Global Gender Gap Report, the Philippines ranks 6th out of 130 countries in closing the gender gap between men and women. We rank 1st in the Educational Attainment and Health and Survival subindexes, 8th in the Economic Participation and Opportunity index, and 22nd in Political Empowerment. (The full country profile can be found here.) Also, according to the WEF, a nation's economy, health, and productivity increase as the gender gap descreases. We've been in the same rank for the past three years -- why can't I see progress, let me ask you?

1. The first week of the semester stressed me out, and it isn't even finished yet. Still have to go to school for PolSci tomorrow. Blegh.
2. Org chem nearly reduced me to tears. Especially since I've found out that some med schools require only 10 units of chemistry, not 15, making my taking the course superflous. Also, it seems that I've lost my prelab-writing skills after only a summer and a semester of not taking any chemistry subject. I so fail at life. ;_______;
3. The JEEP enlistment last night was stress-inducing, but ultimately fulfilling. Our area insertion is at the UP Co-op, on Monday afternoons. Still don't know what I'll be doing though. Probably sell fishballs to UP people. xD
4. I submitted my NMAT application form earlier. It's official: I'm taking it this December. I'm kind of afraid of having dismal marks though, as the results depend on the test-taker's overall ranking relative to other test-takers. I tried answering the first part of the NMAT reviewer that came with the application form, and I did good so far. Haven't bothered trying the science portions yet as my brain is still fried by the combined forces of administrative headaches borne from lining up/signing up for stuff, and org chem. Gah.
5. I WILL maintain my grades this semester, no matter how much org chem and philo suck. I must, I must.

Oh god, I can't believe this site is still alive! I've spent too many hours reading and howling with laughter because of the content over at StarDestroyer.net. This is primarily the reason why I haven't done my homework back in high school. And the old tagline is the inspiration for my icon, do you see? *dorks out*
Also: I wonder if Stravo's epic Star Wars vs. Star Trek crossover Starcrossed is finished already? *checks* Nope, not yet. *sigh* When is it going to end?
This is shaping up to be a SW/ST crossover kind of day. xD

Damn it, there isn't enough Pimpernel fic to go around. Blegh.

“We are going to intercede at the site of the statue of the bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the ‘Lion’s Market,’ or God’s control over the economic systems.”DUDES. Exodus 34. Read, bitches!
I'd just gone through the most painless online enlistment I've ever experienced. Thank God.
Here's my schedule:

The Saturday schedule can't be helped. It's loads better than taking POS 100 at 6-9pm every Wednesday, at any rate.
