The internet has made studying easier and harder at the same time. :p
Easier because useful data is more accessible.
Harder because since distractions, too, are more accessible.
Right now, I’m studying about the histories of South-East and East Asian countries in Wikipedia. But, I can’t help but click and read about other useless miscellaneous stuff, such as the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.
I need a life…
Try listening to The Fray’s Unsaid (Reason EP) and Hale’s Waltz (Twilight). The verses eerily sound the same, except that Unsaid is, I believe in a lower key. And the last notes per line are different, I think.
Is this another case of an “inspired” song?
I need a music expert. XD
Am having mixed feelings right now. I just received my grades for the two Stat117 exams. Ain’t a pretty sight, but, I’m overjoyed that somehow, I PASSED!
Math53 grades are so-so. I barely passed the first two exams and I failed the third one. Midterm grades aren’t revealed yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.
(UPDATE: I received my Math53 grades just now. So-so nga. Pero may pag-asa pa rin, kahit papaano. I need 118.8% to get an uno, 93.3% to get a dos, 54.2% to get a tres, and 44.4% to get a kwatro. Kelangan kong bumawi!!!)
To shift to BS Physics of BS Applied Physics, I would need a GWA of 2.5 for all my Math and Science classes, and a GWA of 2.75 for all the others.
I just computed all possibilities… I just need at least a passing grade (3) for all of the subjects I have right now. Talk about mediocrity.
Yeah. I can do this. After this sem, I can aim for honors again. Stat’s just killing me right now. :p
They say that UP, its student council, and its administration is a microcosm of the Philippines and its government.
Well, medyo. But the USC candidates don’t have stupid television commercials. :p
There’s this campaign commercial which my Mom is very fond of.
It presents a lady who says (in the vernacular tongue, of course), “I dream, of nice life… I dream, of a nice house… I dream, of etc etc.”
After saying what she dreams about, a candidate appears and says, “I dream, that your dreams will be fulfilled.”
This never fails to amuse my Mom. Almost always after seeing the commercial, Mom laughs and says, “eh pangarap lang pala eh! Matutupad nga ba??”
Wahahahaha.
Well. Vote well. I will not be able to vote because I wasn’t able to register. Long story. Literally. Hahaha. I’ll let the pictures explain. :p
Rally na ‘toh! Rally naaaaaaaa!!!
Tinatamad akong magkuwento, so punta na lang sa blog ng kuya ko (Help Out a Fellow Pinoy Blogger).
Stupid legal system.
We’re all here for you, Abe.
I think I just failed that exam. Hahaha. Hindi kami nagkasundo nila Sigma Field at ni Power Set.
Good thing there was a wonderful pre-exam date. Love you, love you, love you. =) (you know who you are).
Happy Vday to all. ^_^
Kaanu-ano ni Borel Field si Mrs. Field?
I have a date with Set Theory this afternoon. Wish me luck.
Tuesday last week I finally announced (in front of the Personnel and my co-apps) my decision to defer my application to StatSoc. Yes, it was very very very hard, considering the amount of effort I put in to the application process, and of course, me becoming close to a few mems and a lot of co-apps.
But, it was not just some hasty decision of saying, “ayoko na, quit na ako.” It took a lot of time, prayer and reflection for me to finally decide that I’m leaving.
Yes, I’m leaving. Off to greener pastures. NIP, here I come.
But I’m not saying that Stat is a bad course. It’s a wonderful course. Although, it’s not for me (Yes, you may see me enjoying in my Stat117 class, but it’s because the subject is about “mathematics for statistics.” It may be hard to believe, but, yes, sometimes I do enjoy math). Ewan ko. I always was frustrated back in 114, tapos ngayon frustrated din ako sa 115, and when I hear about higher Stat, mas nafru-frustrate ako. Parang, “ano gagawin ko sa NORMSDIST o NORMSINV sa hinaharap?”
I asked Sir Marko, my Physics10 teacher, what it takes to be a Physics major. He told me
“Hmm. Do you love math? Do you love to discover new scientific ideas? Do you love to explain the hows and whys of things and phenomena? Do you love science experiments? And again, do you love math?”
Yes, I did love math (hey, I still kinda love it today. I just hate the exams…). I love discovery (guilty of watching the Knowledge Channel in my spare time). I love explaining scientific phenomena (I always explain things to my siblings about scientific stuff even if they didn’t ask). And, I love experiments! (oh boy!)
So, does that make me qualified?
Not yet. Haha. I still need a GWA of 2.75, and an average of 2.0 for my math and science subjects.
The biggest problem that I have now is my Math17 grade was 2.0, and that’s 5 units! And right now, I’m having trouble with Math53. I get the lesson! It’s just the exams that I don’t get. :p
Well… Wish me luck and pray for me.
Last Thursday was the last day of me being a StatSoc applicant. I feel so sad, bad, yet somehow, liberated.
Although, I’m gonna miss StatSoc and the Sustantivos. :(
The memories kept will last forever
The friendship will stay, we are one together
You and me, we’ll make things right
