Exceptionally Exceptional!!!

hey!

Camp Math was exceptionally awesome last Saturday, August 22, 2009.

There was this awesome and amazing speaker guy who melted the hearts of some of the single ladies in the Escaler Hall.

I wouldn't want to elaborate, for it not to be obviously obvious.

Apparently, i was one of the single ladies who got inspired that day.

in short, it was the best and the most memorable day of Camp Math that i have experienced yet

it is yet not sure if that session would be considered as the best one...

but i know that the last session would be the day when everything is going to be FUN!!!

that's it for now 'cause i gotta study ahead of time for ACET...

i want to study in that college so badly! :(

something that i am proud of...

SEG PRESENTATION
by B and D

this video is made with happiness and friendship.

so sit back relax and enjoy! :D

HELL!!!

there is only one word that can best describe what i am feeling right now. and that would be...

HELL!!!

let me explain myself...

first of all, tomorrow is the submission date of the draft for our religion presentation on tuesday next week.

second of all, am very unfortunate to have responsible-challenged group mates (except for one, that's why she's my friend).

third of all, i am failing religion.

three reasons say it all.

now, let me elaborate...

first, we are given enough time to make a draft of our presentation. this project assignment was given to us last week. we are expected to make even a little for the presentation. since there are many days to accomplish a draft, i took advantage of the time given and distributed the tasks to the members. they all ready know what to do and what to research on.

second, unfortunately i am the leader of our group. not very good for the reason that i get to be very bossy. the thing is they don't have the energy to do what is being asked of them. one member gave me her research but it was just 20% of what she was suppose to research on. she didn't get it, though i appreciate her effort of making a background research. so far, the only thing that makes me smile even a little is her research, though it still lack more. good job for you! at least one member is participating! we are just four in the group the other two... well i don't think they are interested. one doesn't know what to do and the other doesn't want to help.

third, i am failing religion. i failed the quarterly exam by four points away from the passing score. it sucked! my quizzes aren't that high. my reflections are not as perfect as they used to because we are required to make them during classes which so not good because we are only given so little time for so many thoughts and designs that need to be shown and written. and compared to all my reflections for my whole high school life, i got lower points this year for the short time given to us. and now, since no one is wants to work hard in this project that we have, i have a dilemma. since i don't want to screw this one up, i have this bad thinking. what if i just do the whole draft myself? that would be bad because leaders are not allowed to do a group project by themselves, that's why it is called a GROUP PROJECT. it is meant to be done by groups, not just by a student but by the members of the group! but what can i do? i am desperate to pass this subject or else i won't graduate with the way i have planned it. and my groupmates are not that sensitive, aren't they? because if they want to pass as well as i want to, they would do their best in doing this project with me! and the member that i assigned to work with me because i trust her doesn't help me!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW SUCKISH MY LIFE IS??? I BET MY LIFE SUCKS MORE THAN WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE... WE"RE TALKING ABOUT OUR GRADES HERE, PEOPLE!!! BUT NO!!!

I JUST CAN"T WAIT TILL I GET OUT OF THIS HIGH SCHOOL LIFE! YES, IT IS FUN BUT YOU HAVEN"T SEEN THE OTHER SIDE OF FUN YET, HAVEN"T YOU?!? WELL, I HAVE! AND IT IS NOT THAT FUN AT ALL!

i'm sorry for the things i just said about my group. but, to be honest, i am very jealous to the other groups who have members who are giving their efforts in sending their reports to their leaders. one member of our group did it. why can't the OTHER TWO can???

you guys can get mad at me for being bitchy but that's just the way i roll. if you were doing your job well, then i won't have to type what i feel right now.

i'm out...

PEACE!

CAMP MATH!!!

Hey!

school is very stressful. can you believe that? and for what reason did i just say that? it is simply because of so much requirements that we are required to submit this month of August days just after the exams! i mean... c'mon! we all have the right to rest, right?!? but i don't blame them. they said that they always lack time for everything that's why we will always have homework, projects and lots more right after every quarterly exam... it's good to know that there is a day that i would always look forward to... and that would be all the four saturdays of August starting from the 8th... wanna know why? then read this...

every saturday, we, students appointed by math teachers, go to what Ateneo calls Camp Math XVI. based on what it is called, obviously, it is a camp all about math. in know you may think only nerds go there. but just so you know, you thought wrong! yes, there can be nerds but i am classified somewhere in the middle of nerds and non-nerds. i don't know what people call us but we are not nerds! to be honest, only half of the day is spent in math activities. the rest of the day is about team building and collecting stickers. that's about it.

i consider it as an escape route, away from the stress world of school because it has nothing to do with school. i meet new people particularly students whose ages are more or less the same as mine. so it's a different set of faces every saturday depending on who's going to sit next to you, and the atmosphere is way too different compared to our school. i am more relaxed and collected when i attend math camp. i don't have to worry about anything except making new friends which is very easy for me (even though the friendship that i had on the first two saturdays were not the same). that's what makes it so exciting. you have a new different friend every saturday. though i wasn't able get information on how i can communicate with them even when we don't see each other, we still say "hi" to each other when we walk the halls of ateneo (at least during the day when we meet for the camp, of course) we may have a homework in the camp as well as at school but the homework there are a lot easier than what is given to us at school!

because of these reasons, i want to extend math camp until september... but i can't do that. so during the last day, i will want to get their contact information so i can still have connections with the campmath group even though the four sessions are over.

now, all i can say is, i can't wait till saturday comes! it will be our third meeting this saturday, unfortunately. it is our second to the last session. i hope it will be as fun as the first two sessions!

well, that's it! something that i have been looking forward to. it's sad that it has an end. but i know it will be replaced with something better. but i don't know what's going to happen after the camp so let's just see...

CAN"T WAIT FOR THE FUTURE!!!!!

CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!! :D

hey y'all!

our school will be having a make-up Saturday Class tomorrow and it will be just for half a day. it is going to be fun and these are the reasons why...

tomorrow is going to be an awesome day! we are going to have an activity in Physics entitled: LAWN RANGER!!! It is going to be a treasure hunting kind of thing. We have to record our speed, velocity, distance, and displacement. we are going to use really cool soldier compasses! i am the leader of our subgroup. the leaders were suppose to be oriented on how to use some materials and how to do the procedures but unfortunately our teacher has a meeting today. she wasn't able to teach us... :( even so... I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED NA TALAGA (REALLY!!!)

although it is going to be all fun and games in the early part of the morning, our class has a long quiz in Economics but i think it is going to be easy! so it is still cool!

the best part of the day is the other half of the day! i am proud to say that i am part of something that Ateneo De Manila University would call Math Camp! i could decline the offer but it thought that was going to be so good to ignore! so tomorrow from 12nn until 4pm, i will be in ADMU participating in the camp. i hope things will be great even though we will be interacting with different schools!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can't wait!

it's sad but true :(

Saturday...

i woke up at 8am. i went downstairs excited, nervous and sleepy all at the same. i ate my breakfast peanut butter sandwich and drank my hot milo. after a minute or five, i went in the bathroom and had a relaxing warm bath. i put on my comfortable clothes and dried my hair. i brushed my teeth and gargled with my favorite mouthwash. i got my bag with my pencil case filled with a pen, four number two mongol pencils, an eraser and a pencil sharpener. i had my jacket with me just in case it rains. i went to mcdonald's to buy my snacks three chicken sandwiches to be precise. i got to the place at about 9:45am. i ate my first sandwich while waiting. i lined up to get in. i found new friends in the process. i took a trip to the washroom before it started. then, it was the moment of truth...

i went in the room and sat down on my chair. i brought out my pencil case, my snacks and my bottled water. i put my bag on the corner as instructed. i took the test and this was how it went...

First Subset...

Language Proficiency...
it was all good and easy. it was like an ordinary grammar test. i was able to finish it on time.

Science...
it was not that hard though some were not taught to us. it was a normal test if you were to study in a Science Schools. but i was able to finish it though i skipped some items.

Math...
it was the sunset of the day. it was hell. it was raining with thunderstorms and lightning. the heavens were crying so heavily. all odds were against me. i was tortured and torn into pieces. my heart was pricked with the pointiest edge there was. it was as if half of me died. it was the scariest nightmare ever to had become true.

Reading Comprehension...
it was the same experience as the first two combined. not so surprising like the subset before this.

i will elaborate on the math part some time next week...

i am going to sleep now...

BYE!!!!!
