entry to the adult society
Saturday, July 18, 2009
a bonafide member of the adult society...since thursday, july 16.sweet.well, i don't actually feel like of legal age already. young, young, young at heart. lol. i can now be put to jail so i guess i better behave myself.oh, and i can drink alcohol by now. [not that i didn't do that back in argentina]i'm just curious as to how they can attest that 18 should be the legal age. i mean, why 18 anyway? why not 20? why not 16?why 18?thursday night, the real day of my entry to the adult society, was not actually good.i was scolded. yes, you heard [or read] me right.the thing was that i was applying for an acad org so i had to stay for the required "tambay hours".well, i arrived home at 8.yes. i was scolded, of course. and they didn't want me joining any orgs from then on. i was like o_0.i mean, there i was, giddy with the fact that i'd be applying for an acad org... happy because my first tambay went well... and there they were, ruining the night.crap. i know.and that was my birthday.even more crap.and so, let's not go to this topic, shall we?friday.my first class is 8.30. math17.so around 7 i was already on my way to UP.inside the UP campus jeep, i received an announcement.classes were suspended.and no, i didn't jump for joy. not even a little squeak. i was irritated. imagine, i woke up really early for nothing. the jeep and mrt fares were all for nothing.and mrt was a freaking wormhole.we didn't ride the first train since it was already jampacked. people were rushing and pushing.but the second train was no less different.we were the ones standing just behind the yellow platform but when the train finally came to a halt in front of us and the doors opened, it felt as if a wormhole sucked us in.no, not vortex.a wormhole.once you get in, you can't get out.actually, we were able to ride that train because people have pushed us inside. crap. what an amaaaazing adventure. [hear the sarcasm drip...]when i got home, i was drenched.yes, drenched. dripping-all-over-the-floor drenched.why can't they just notify the students earlier that classes are going to suspended? i mean, if they haven't noticed it yet, some students have early classes and some of them live quite a distance from campus.announcing that there'd be no classes at 7.30 is futile.the students are going to be at the campus by that time.futile.but afternoon was fun, fun, FUN.ugh. my spanish is starting to be crappy. i'm forgetting some basic words and all that. i hate it.well, you know about this colombian guy who's currently here in the philippines with AFS. he's a freshman in ateneo and i'm his liaison officer. basically, his native language is spanish [duh.] and so AFS-Philippines asked me to be the one explaining to him and all that.i was eager, apparently so. i mean, i've been missing spanish for more than a year and now here's someone with whom i can practice my spanish. yay.well, yeah. he understands me and i understand him [aside from the fact that there are words that really differ in meaning... i mean, REALLY.]but, it seems to me that he speaks waaaay too fast and i speak waaaay too slow. i dunno. and i effin hate it when i forget words...before i left argentina, i was told that i should not forget my spanish. that i should keep on practicing spanish. that i should preserve my spanish.effin hell. i practice written spanish but my oral spanish is starting to go downhill.i put accents in wrong syllables, i pronounce badly, and for effin's sake, i forget words!well, i'm exaggerating everything, of course. but still, my spanish is starting to go downhill and i'm hating that.i was talking to the colombian guy over the phone just a while ago and there was a conversation about flights and all that and i just couldn't remember the spanish of "RISK".the hell.i wanted to hit my head against the wall. i mean, yeah it's been over a year but STILL, i spoke spanish for almost a year so i just can't start forgetting words like that. and it's not even one of the profound, archaic, literary spanish words...it's just RISK. and i couldn't recall it.well, i explained it to him and he told me the word in spanish.RIESGO.i was like, yeah i forgot such an easy word. sweet.now, i'm determined to bring back my spanish skill. the colombian guy's staying in the country for one year so i have one year to practice my spanish.before i start learning german and japanese, i swear i am going to master spanish first.ooookaaaay. i have to go. have to do my kas1 papers.chau.
