current music: Ecerybody Hurts - R.E.M.


Today was okay. But first, thank you to the people who wished me luck for my Philo Orals today.

And for the most part, I was surprised. I spent the last two days doing my usual routines, with the addition of extra hours reading the text. I started committing to memory things like the difference between Marcel and Descartes' ideas of the human self, or how Marcel believes human life is centered in something other than himself. (side note: the latter is something I believe very, very deeply in)

Right as I entered the room, it was somewhat "friendly", then switched straight to "ice cold". :p Isip ko agad "showtime!"

Then Sir goes fastball: "What's the difference between Primary and Secondary reflection?"

Patay! Mahirap agad!

But i think i answered it well enough, as I did with the rest of the orals. I was very nervous... like a guy on a courtroom stand. But I think I did okay. A B or B+ worth.

Frustrations: I missed a Lighthouse session yesterday, I've got the Intro to the Theo report to do (on sex scandals in the church) and a Sci10 Paper I've not started on. Shet shet shet.

I'm also somewhat annoyed (like always) of people who I take time out to really look after, really listen, keep secrets and empathize for, but can never ever do the same when it all comes down to it.

Guess what. I think I'm supposed to be all on my own.
