it's been four days.

four days of the sem break, spent as expected. i wake up at 9 am. i spent the morning hours in front of the tv, or perched on my chair typing. afternoons passed by as i lounged around the house, taking naps at my leisure. the only hitches so far are that my ps2 refuses to cooperate with the game i'm playing with, and my attempts to sleep as early as 10:30 have all unintentionally extended to as early as 1:30. not my ideal paradise, but it had to do.

four days of the sem break passed by like a dream, and now reality has to bite back hard. who was i kidding? what sem break? as the new week started, so did the countdown of the days until the math finals, which i have (uncertainly) decided to take. i can back out at any time, but i desperately need a 1.75 to ensure that my scholarship stays. my choice now leads me to relive the moments and memories of the five dep exams, which were anything but enjoyable.

but like the good student that i am, i have obviously opted to forego studying for more pleasurable activities. who can resist watching the oc replay for the third time this week? or how about my shadow hearts dvd, beckoning me to insert it into the ps2 and enjoy another hour of flawless gameplay followed by incessant hangs and glitches?

i watched the first episode of the new ragnarok animé. i didn't fall prey to levelup and get addicted to the online rpg craze, but the animated version was unexpectedly amusing. you don't even need to play the game to understand the concept or the story, which were unsurprisingly generic. the viewing experience was only soiled by the scq1 finalists singing (or rather, dubbing and lipsing) the theme song. lucky for them, i'm a sucker for the fantasy genre.

and what of the new season of star circle quest? (i didn't watch the first. ) who am i to say that the auditions sucked? but after watching teens from baguio strut their stuff, singing out of key, and demonstrating mediocre to acceptable acting skills, i couldn't help but wish i was part of the cast. spending days in the studio rather than in the classroom, never having to worry about a math 17 finals for quite some time. i wonder, what would fame feel like? too bad i might never find out. my dad would probably disown me.

temptation lurks at every corner, and i am too weak of will to resist. i just say to myself, "there are 2 days left, let's pretend that that's enough to study." but how about tomorrow? and the day after that? 1 day left? no days left? i can't pretend that hard. if i want to have any chance of raising my gpa, i'd better get my act straight and soon. right now if possible. but highly unlikely. modules and sample exams had better not dare get between me and the fab 5 tonight.

queer eye for the straight guy, here i come.
