Oh, the bores and the snores.
Had CRT today with the third years. I didn't really want to, since I'd be missing a whole day of lessons, but I absolutely had to do it. It's for some requirement in homeroom or something, I dunno. Anyway, it was as people said it was, albeit the awkwardness and uncomfortableness that came from being with the third years. They didn't pay much attention to us and we didn't either, so it was pretty okay. I hated the icebreaker part, where Ella and I were left without a 'baboy', so we had to face an embarrassing consequence, which involved us having to spell our names out using our behinds. That was when all dignity was lost and I was humiliated within an inch of my life. Anyway, the nicest part in the CRT was when Ms Cruz came and shared her own views on critical thinking. The other parts, were, well, there's not much to be said about them. I wish they made things more interesting, the facilitators, since CRT's not really an intriguing subject. It can't really manage to sustain an audience's interest. I mean, who wants to listen to people talk about nothing but critically and reflectively thinking all day? Ah well, I had a rather grand time on my own in that little corner of the conference room, doodling and daydreaming a bit when things got a wee bit dull. Camping tomorrow and I'm all hyped up. Can't wait to dine a la primitive-caveman and go on that treasure hunt. Oh, I squee. Gtg, still have to pack the things. Most Interesting and Funniest Learning: It's better to cheat than to repeat.

Oh, the torture.
Had to go to school today, Saturday. It's just sad and pathetique, but we have, have to do it because of the school's obsession to finish those 200 something days that students have to go to school. I don't see how the teachers are going to manage to squeeze in some knowledge in our poor, sleep-deprived brains with only about twenty minutes each subject.Two days na nga lang pahinga, may Saturday classes pa. So much for a nice weekend.
Jolens told me today that The Lost Colony already went out in Fully Booked. Her ate was able to buy one, and she said it cost about a thousand pesos. Can't wait to buy one and finally read it after a year or so of waiting! Must. Save. Money. Now.
