Okay, not exactly. However, I am
not going to be online from 18 March until 24 March.. and I'm
serious. I have my finals from Wednesday until Friday. What's so scary about it? What's suddenly so nerve-wrackingly frightening about finals, those things I dismiss with a wave at the end of every school year?
#1: I suck at Filipino. I know, I know. It's
Ibong Adarna (the book we're taking up this quarter), and when I watched the play, I realized the main actor was my crush when I watched another play by the same acting troupe the previous year, and I even find PedroxLeonora THE
Ibong Adarna OTP. (Bet no one knew that!) But the thing is, I cannot write in Tagalog well enough to make my irritating teacher satisfied.
#2: Latin's exam is comprehensive. From first quarter to fourth quarter = coverage. I got B, B- in the first and third quarters and A- in the second. My mid-status report for this quarter says that I got S, which is around 80% to 90%, and that's not good enough yet. And now, I have to memorize all the conjugations, all the declensions?! Good heavens! I can't do that. Anyway, that's why I have to study.
#3: I have to bring my Science and Religion grades up. Yeah, I lose to Paola every single time, even when she says that she detests Science. She just got minus two points in our second Long Test. But, whatever -- I'm going to try to memorize all that I need to days before the test, so I won't cram like crazy the night before. Composition, Literature? No problem. But Religion? After that lecture she gave about the
Da Vinci Code? Grr. She's going to get it from me!
I, to be honest, am not dedicated, not at all. I can't stand not using the computer, especially since tomorrow is a Sunday and all. But I think I'll be a good student and actually study for my exams for once. After all, I
am in first year high school. It's 70% of my final grade.
And I want to prove that I can keep promises to myself. If I go online tomorrow, all of this will have been for nothing. And I want to prove something! To myself.
Umm.. wish me luck? Please? Or pray a bit? I'll definitely know if someone thought of me, since this is a really important time. I don't want to get low scores or fail my parents, not at all. Yeah, I know: my father was a horrible student when he was young, and I get high scores. How can I disappoint them? Well..
By not trying my best. I don't take quarterly exams seriously, but now I have to. Besides, I know many people are rooting for me.
Please pray for me. Or at least mention me fleetingly at the end of a prayer or something. I need all the help I can get, and I'm willing to use it until every last bit is gone.

*HUGS* TOTAL!
Do hug the Miri.
Be hugged.
