† paperworks and tests! †

the finals week is fast approaching and still i have a lot of things to accomplish. after finishing two reaction papers in a span of three days, having 24 pages all in all, and passing it to dr. Gil, my academic life is still in misery with paperworks for dr. Hicarte.

first, i have to submit written reports about the "Different Aspects and Institutions of Rural Societies" and "Socio-Cultural Change" in my Rural and Urban Sociology class. it's freaking hard to do because i have to really type it manually, i can't find anything on the net about such topics in the Philippine setting so i guess i have no other option but to rely on the book which was overly used. and patience was never really one of my best attributes so i'm still finding an easier way out of this paperworks.

second thing, is about our case study, good thing i'm with gian and jellai, so i guess i'm in good hands, i mean, they're not the type to leave me alone with this kind of intensive research. take a guess on what our case study is about? it's entitled "Ang Pinagmulan ng mga Taong Naninirahan sa Tulay ng Delpan". Delpan is situated in Tondo where notorious people, (some of them pickpocketers) like me dwell. jellai thought about this one, and we think it's cool, we really wanted to do this on our own so at least we could learn something new and not just plagiarize others' paperworks. also, we would like to enhance our skill with regards to dealing with different kinds of people, i even thought of giving three packs of lucky me pancit canton for every family that we will survey and interview. and the minimum number of families that we're talking here is around ten. pretty challenging huh? i wish the people there are welcoming enough.

then finals week, ahh! i'm freaking apprehensive about what will happen in my World Geography subject. okay, so of course it's World Geography so the test will definitely have something to do with map reading, worse - map memorization, worst - world map memorization! so here's the picture, there will be a blank map of the world, and we're going to fill it in with names of different countries and water forms, i think the only continent that i knew well aside from Asia is South America. i'm having a hard time with Africa coz the countries there have weird names. i'm also a bit jittery knowing that every country has a corresponding capital wherein i'm not really good at. having a photographic memory is not one of the nice things i'm known for.

pls. pray for me. i feel like eating fire instead of taking the World Geography test.
