wow, what a day.
went to bed last night at 2am, woke up this morning at 6am, studied until 3:30pm, took an exam at 3:45pm, went to division advisory meeting at 6:15pm, auditing class at 7pm, home at 9:30pm, ate dinner at 10pm.
i tried to stay up all night, but the cans of cherry coke and vanilla coke did me no good at all cuz i fell asleep at 2.
by 3:30pm, i was studying the middle of the last of the ELEVEN (long) chapters that the b. law exam tested us on today. and boy, did i feel unprepared. obviously, i didn't even get to finish looking at all of the material, let alone go back over what i read.
to be frank, at least several times during my long hours of study, i had moments of deep frustration at not only my teacher's unreasonable demands and expectations but also at the book. stupid book not only as thick as the yellow pages but contains wording as superficial and vague as it can be.
anyhow, i knew oh so well that it was not gonna be an easy exam, so as i rushed down the stairs of the library, all i could do was pray.
following the pattern of the day, again, i ran out of time and didn't have the chance to go over the answers on the test. walking out of the room, i realized that i have never felt so uncertain about a test before... EVER.
actually trying to forget about my miserable two and a half hours, i ran to the division advisory meeting, to which i was already 15 minutes late. somebody asked me what i thought of the test, and i only answered, "it was hard." when i finally got settled in a seat and took the time to looked around, i noticed that there were people from my b. law class with facial expressions of extreme disgust, frustration... and one girl was even crying.
really, in my past three years of college, i had never seen so much tension over an exam among my classmates before.
i can already tell this school year will be a memorable one. it has definitely gotten off to a start that is out of line with my expectations.
it's funny how my class developed a bad habit this semester of skipping class together as a whole group. because roughly the 25 of us (seniors in the accounting program) have been in most of the same classes since freshmen year, we have gotten to know each other pretty well. this year there are 4 classes that most of us are in together, and it definitely calls for situations when circumstances make it really tempting to give in to peer pressure and just not go to class.
like tonight's 7 o'clock class after our intense exam. only about 9 people showed up. it's actually better than last time when we got back our b. law tests when only 8 people showed up. last night, 5 people showed up in tax class after the accounting fair. on the night of our auditing exam, 6 people showed up in b. law.
i'm sure our teachers just love us. i actually can't blame them for tonight's class though. it turns out that i wasn't the only one who got little sleep and had virtually nothing to eat. i hear they went to olive garden for bread sticks and salad... so our auditing teacher kindly offered to bring us bread sticks and salad next time we have our b. law exam. i have to say though, it was pretty painful sitting through 2 hours of straight lecture in such state of extreme hunger and tiredness.
anyway, on a brighter note, i've been listening to a variety of CDs in my car lately. normally, i would listen to one CD for at least several weeks before i switch, but i don't really know what brought about my fickleness. i listened to rachel lampa, rebecca st. james, steven curtis chapman, passion, hopkins' very own adoremus, etc.
it's funny how you attach specific memories or perhaps memorable "seasons" to certain songs that you really enjoyed during that particular time. as i listened to various CDs that i accumulated over a period of many years, i came across some that instantly opened up a flood of memories, both good and bad.
there was one that reminded me of joe & gyju's wedding only because it was stuck in my head the entire time i was in chicago. the wedding gave rise to another thought... which led to a different thought... and i eventually found myself in my car with my mind moving endlessly from one thought to another to another... and enjoying every bit.
thinking of joe & gyju reminded me that today (10/24) is joe's birthday. HAPPY 26TH, JOE!! remember, CORAM DEO FOREVER!!! :-D
alright... well, i think i'm gonna go recover from my day now.
thank God that i will wake up to a whole new day tomorrow morning~*
