After Three days of Summer School

The first half week of summer classes has just ended and Im about to start another week of hot summer education and I mean that literally. As much as I like having an allowance and having an excuse to go out, the heat of classroom with a darkened glass wall magnifying the heat and making you look like a roast chicken inside an oven. I have to say I do like the classes I’m taking.

Histo 165 is interesting, not just because I like history but my teacher makes it really interesting. QMT 12 is a little boring because its during a dead hour (1:30-3pm) but my teacher there is way too talkative you won’t be able to sleep. JSP 103 is a little bit challenging right now because I’m a little rusty with my hiragana and I never got to perfect my katakana but it is still fun none-the-less.

I’m currently searching itunes U for more learning resources since I really wanna get high grades during my summer term so I can raise my QPI (what we call our GPA or GWA) before the school year starts. I really hope it will rain soon I can’t take this heat any longer

Progressive Boredom

Let me start of by saying that the new macbooks are hot hot hot!! I really like the new macbooks, apple has actually listened to customer complaints and change most of the things that people didn’t like about the macbook. I don’t think it would crack or chip off that easily now that its in aluminum and if is it just me or did they put bigger speakers? The graphics have been upgraded (though it’s still a shared memory) but making the macbook stronger. I was really hating myself about it since I got Anita during the summer but when I saw the prices my jaw just out right dropped. If I had waited for this aluminum macbook I wouldn’t even be able to afford since they did increase the price by 200 usd (so if you add taxation to that and US-Peso exhange rates… your looking at somewhere between 90,000-110,000 php). Anyways, I still love Anita, I ain’t going to trade her off just yet… probably wait two or three years to save up the money then get it for my college graduation.

Semestral break has been pretty boring but it has been at the very least a little productive. Let me begin by saying I PASSED ACCOUNTING! To the side you’ll see a shot of my “Individual program of study page” where you can see if you passed (P) or failed (F). We don’t know our grades yet but this has eased the tension quite a bit. I was pretty sure I was going to fail when I saw my fourth long test last Saturday and this has just taken a load off my shoulders! I might have a bonfire sometime this week and burn my Accounting book cause I have just been victorious against Venus Ibarra, the most evil department head of the Ateneo! hahahaha *shoots a frost bolt* Read the rest of this entry »
