It really seems as if the days are getting shorter, although they are actually getting longer. There's just more and more stuff that I'm trying to pack into the day it's hard to be able to just sit down and relax. After PUSO on Tuesday was the LOG meeting. It was nice to see new faces there and people who've been MIA. I believe we've really come into our own as more than a club... more than a group of friends even. It being two of their birthdays (Reg and Derrick) we celebrated at Fridays. I was supposed to play volleyball for intermurals, but decided to go to Fridays. Birthdays come along only once a year anyway. Little did I know that only 2 people out of 11 who signed up actually showed up to play. That's pretty sad. We played ninja for a while in the waiting area and I managed to hit almost everybody, so everybody ganged up on me. I dodged Chris like Neo in the Matrix... I think that means I've been playing around too much. I didn't eat, so I wandered around the table, and someone started the Friday Night question game which I originated during our Liwanag retreat almost two years ago. Don't listen when she denies it... Mom is a bonafide freak, among other things. Other highlights included Reg and David cake kissing and working it out/check it out. There was another situation with the bill though... it never seems to fail. Someone always shortchanges their own bill (tax and tip people!) or forgets to add the drinks. Or the shared food. Someone always ends up forking over five or ten bucks just to get it over with. If you think about it though, one extra dollar from every person would almost eliminate that problem... I think our group spent enough to fund one whole homeless outreach. Kinda makes you question how generous you really are.
Once again I woke up on time but didn't make it to class. I shouldn't make a habit out of this. I had an early lunch and went to the courtyard study lounge to start some math homework and listen to some cds, but i fell asleep with the earphones bumping in my ears. I don't know why I've been so tired lately, because now I'm eating right and sleeping well too. I woke up late enough to miss my other class, but sat there and finished reading a few sections in my math book, so my nap wasn't a complete waste of time. I thought about how nice it was to study early and see people around studying... I started thinking that maybe I should take advantage of all the nice study place on campus. Especially when CSL has hundreds of cds to listen to.
I went home, did the dishes that were waiting for me for almost a week, and headed back to campus for UV, PCN, PUSO prep for Wayzgoose, and YFC. So much stuff to attend to! UV instated a new rule where late people would have to sing in front of everyone. I was already late when I left my place, but luckily they didn't catch me. I felt a little sad when it came time to announce nominations for UV board and people had to decline because they are graduating in June. That's my class... class of 1999... I dropped by YFC and was only going to stay a few minutes, but I decided to stay longer because they had a meditation, being Holy Week and all. It helps to center yourself in the midst of the endless work and chaos of college life. I need to remember where my focus should be. I went to PCN practice at 9:30, even though it started at 8, so I felt lost for a while, but I caught up pretty quickly. I surprise myself sometimes, because I didn't think I'd be able to learn the dance that fast, and also in UV, for a song I've never heard before to be able to sing more than half from memory in an hour. Practice today was more like the experience I expected, unlike last Saturday. Everyone seemed more relaxed, no cliques hanging around, everyone doing their thing. They have me paired up with Beverly, who went to my high school. Kinda funny though... she was my first date to a formal dance, but I don't think she had as much fun as she wanted because I didn't know how to dance back then. Or maybe I did but I was hella uncomfortable. Maybe this is my chance to redeem myself. It's also kinda sad though because despite hanging out a lot in the past and having plenty of good memories, I hardly see her around now and we're like acquaintances or something. It's good that we were partnered up then, I guess. I also helped with PUSO and lent my hand at feeding Mike and Jasmine goldfish (by tossing it at them). Tomorrow is PUSO's first intermural basketball game for this quarter, and I'm excited. I just hope we don't get blown out. That's what happens when you play in the comp league. I stayed at practice until 12, sucking car fumes and running around feeling full of energy. I hope I can keep up with myself for the rest of the quarter.
I was listening to The Voice Within just a while ago... I get chills listening to it. You guys in the skit were awesome.
