How many times have I nagged myself out of the bundles of cob-web-CRAMming but initially get stuck all over it again? It's as if I constantly slide through some smooth pavement just marked "Wet Area" and have my buttocks and pants sweep it off to dry; however, I head straight off to some glass wall and have my empty pate bump onto it-- just realizing that it was glass and I'm just, well, some hard bone. Ouch. The constant "aide-memoire" of my knowledgeable parents do not pay off even a bit. I seem to forget all about my goals and aims whenever I am faced with delicious temptations of the clickable mouse and satisfying "tick-tick-tick" sound of the keyboard. Oh, and oh! The awesome view of my monitor. Frankly, they just seem to be so tempting-- it's as though their continuously batting eyelashes call, "Hey you, you need a piece of me." Their constant cries do not pay off during the recent days because I was 51% determined to study and pull up my dramatically slipping grades. Devoting my time to studies didn't seem me at all, specially when I found out that I spent 1pm to 10pm studying for that threatening Biology Quarterly Test. I made it a point to not fall behind what Ms de la Paz kept warning us days before-- that it will be very, very difficult. And much to my chicken-legged self-confidence on the fact that I can manage to slip through the narrow gates of the Quarterly Test, I burried myself in that thick Biology Book burning the midnight oil. I opted to study for both English and CLE but my eyelids were very much on the verge of shutting down-- my systems and organs cry out for a night of good rest even just for the remaining seven hours. Of course, I could not deny them because nothing will happen anyway if I try to push them any further.

My brain might have actually been filled up to its capacity-- maybe, I even exceeding in some ways. If I just had the brain of Einstein or at least Julienne (the smartest girl in our batch), maybe I will not have to worry and be burdened by passing the test nor by stuffing information in the very last minute. Sadly speaking, we all do not have equal brain capacity and maybe, just maybe, I am one not destined to be clever, wise.. maybe I was ought to excell in something else, say.. sports?

This quarter's tests were well off than ordinary. I barely had enough time to study which is very much unusual because I usually have surplus time for myself, that is to indulge myself with this satisfying modern-age technologies. Savvvy.

I do not know if I did well or if I did poorly, though I wish I fall on the former. I think I have to work things out seriously this time.. after all, it's just two more quarters down and I will be off again.
