today went fine; hope tomorrow will too

I had to go to school today for our NSTP Skills Training thing. But since I was hitching a ride with my dad (who had to bring my sister and her friends first to their practice), I had to get ready and leave the house 3 hours early. I was in Ateneo at 11:00 Am when the training was still at 1:00 pm. To kill time, I decided to study. I brought some of my books with me and spent my time at the library.

Using the library during the weekends is great. There were only a few people there, most of them are graduate studies students (people taking their MA's) and there were a few people in the photocopying machines too. I read some stuff for Botany, Filipino and Literature. I also borrowed two HEAVY books to use for Botany (both were included in Dr. Tolentino's References). It was a good thing I brought my jacket because it was freezing inside the library.

At around 12:35 I decided to go to Berchmans and wait for my other blockmates there. When I got there, no one was still around. After a while Leo and Yukari came, and we decided to wait for the others by the benches. Apparently a lot of my blockmates got sick over the week. First it was me, then all of a sudden Ramlo and Leo got sick too. Ramlo and I are not attending Audrey's debut. I really do feel bad about not being able to go, but I really can't. I still have to go to school tomorrow for the PE 101 activity so I have to reserve my strength for it. I just gave my gift and the short "speech" I was supposed to say to Vany. She'll proxy for me as a part of the 18 treasures. I was supposed to host the party along with Joboy, but I had to warn Audrey so Leo would be taking my place. But now, Leo's also sick and her voice is kind of hoarse. I'm not sure then if she would still be the host or another one would be willing enough to replace her at such short notice.

My mom fetched me at exactly 3:00 pm and she saw how distraught I looked, and told me not to attend the debut anymore. I was supposed to give Jho a ride on the way home, so I called her up and told her that I don't think I can go. I was hoping my mom can change her mind about it. But my mom didn't :( We just ate at Shakey's before fetching my sister and her friend. After eating, we went to National Bookstore and I decided to buy books. It's been quite a while since I bought a book I can read for leisure. I decided to buy two novels, classic novels at that. I got "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne and "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. I'll read those during the Christmas break.

Tomorrow would be very hectic and tiresome for me. In the morning I'll have to be in Ateneo for the PE 101 activity. Then I'll go home, and leave again at 2:00pm for my sister's 3-in-1 family encounter activity in her school. [I can't say no since she went to my 3-in-1 encounter when I was in fourth year high school] And we still have to work on our Eng12 paper. We're presenting on Monday already, so we have to finish it by that time. Just looking at my "Things to do" list stresses me out already. But there'll definitely be a way on how I can manage to do all of these. I've been in tighter situations before, so there's no reason why I can't go through this one. (^_^)
