Bottled Sky

School is now in full swing. I’m actually enjoying my classes. It’s a very foreign feeling—something I never felt in the land of circuit boards and electrical currents, otherwise known as ECE. For the ten-thousandth time I will say that I am soooo glad I shifted.

I took Film 110 (Black-and-White Photography) as an elective this semester. I’m loving it! I’m pretty sure that most of the photos I’ve taken will compel real photographers to exclaim “Who in heaven’s name gave this girl license to use a camera?!“, but I’m also certain that at least one or two of them are not completely vomit-inducing. We’re going to make contact prints next meeting, and I’m really looking forward to it

As for non-school activities, Fatz had a birthday party last Saturday. For the first time in a really long time, my entire high school barkada got together. I hadn’t seen some of those girls since December, so I was pretty psyched. Jess took some pictures—I’ll be sure to post them once Jess sends them out. Paging, Jess! Hehe

Hey, everyone! I hope you all are having a good 2004 so far. I decided to spend my entire day off from school growing roots in front of the computer. I’ve been sitting here since 9 in the morning making layout # 13 for Skylight. And now it’s done! What do you guys think?

A bunch of things has happened since my last post 10 million years ago. I was finally able to shift out of ECE into a much less mind-boggling course, Journalism. I’m a lot less stressed now and considerably happier.

I’ve also lost a bit more weight since October. My mom insists that my weight is fine as it is now, but I still want to lose 10 more pounds before the summer. If I manage to do that I’m going to treat myself to a fun, new swimsuit. Wish me luck!

I had a really great time during the holiday season. I ate a lot of good food and was able to hang out with all my friends. Ironically, the one thing I wasn’t able to do during the holiday break was rest. I was actually more tired at the end of my three-week vacation than I was before it started.

Speaking of tired, my back and my eyes are starting to hurt from being in front of the PC all day. I’m going to take a break now. Bye!

The semester is about to come to a close. I only have to get through my finals next week, and I’ll be footloose and fancy-free for the rest of the month. I’m feeling all tingly just thinking about it. Ah, freedom! I can almost smell thee!

My plan to shift into another course (also known as my plan to forever rid myself of ECE hell) is now officially in its second phase. I have actually managed to complete step 1, which is to submit my application before the deadline. It might sound like an utterly simple thing to do, but you must never underestimate the ability of the Queen of Procrastination (i.e. me) to screw up even the simplest of tasks. That’s why you should all join me in counting my successful completion of step 1 as a victory. Cheers for me!

And in even more exciting news, I’ve decided to torture the Internet community with a couple more photos of me and my friends! Click here and let the sadism begin!

All right…that’s enough mindless chitchat for now. Feel free to pretend that this post never happened. It’s just the sleep deprivation talking. It’s now 5:00 AM, and half my brain cells are sleeping. And I think the other half’s just about ready to join their slumbering friends. Good night, all!
