Two Words: Grow Up

When bad luck hits you, you can never evade it. I went to Prints & Ads today to finally make the two additional Tubao shirt orders. But then, I was told that they already burned the screen. Like, what? I was like, just calling you about two weeks ago and you guys assured me that I can still get the shirts! Blah. What else can I do anyway? Prior to that, I was at Robinson’s Place, getting a haircut at David’s Salon. The barber that handled me was a girl. C’mon, her hands seem to tremble while holding that electric razor and she even has to hold it with both hands (showing that it’s really not her thing, I believe). Plus, she makes bothersome head gestures something like, saying to herself, “Uh-oh, I cut it wrong.” I did not like the outcome. P132.00 put to waste. I should have simply been to Ricky Reyes just like last December. (The girl actually asked me where I got my last haircut.)
To kill the time, I planned to watch Sweeney Todd. However, it turns out that it’s already out of the list. I find the poster of Alien VS Predator 2 fascinating so I watched it instead. And besides, I used to watch its ‘separate’ movies before — Predator and Alien Resurrection. Well, that was my fate in the city today. The weekend’s a long one because Monday is a holiday in Iloilo (Emilio Javier Day). And.. I’ll be posting the books I bought this semester. I love all of them, really. 😆
Lastly, I’ve uploaded the video in UP, Ang Galing Mo!? and thanks to alexking.org for the WP Grins plugin (at last).

My neck and arm hurts. We had our exam in Linear Algebra today and I am glad that I was able to answer all the items. I always like it when I do so, even if my answers are not all correct, as long as there are no items left blank. Another thing that really made me happy this time is the fact that I was able to answer the proving item. :cheerful: After the exam, everyone was asking each other what their answer in this item was and all those kind of stuff. I kind of cannot relate so I merely walked away. 😆
As I passed Landbank (it happens to be situated at school), I noticed that it was already online and many were queuing. I saw Ariel, my roommate in first year, who was already three (or so) persons away from the ATM. I then requested my classmate Lairy, who’s also close friend of Ariel, to go near him and pretend to whisper something but actually pass my ATM card and PIN. Mission Accomplished. 😎
Edit [020108]: Our topic in Statistics today was Analysis of Variance. We were given an exercise to be submitted by the end of the subject. It turned out fine and fun, really. We were tasked to check whether there really are differences in the means of the different samples given. However, we realized that some of the SPSS outputs differ from computer to computer. :faint: In CMSC127 (Database Systems), the exam blew my head away. Like the usual, it was “open-notes”. But because of it, it was really time-consuming answering the essay Q’s. A classmate wasn’t even able to answer the construction of an Entity-Relationship Diagram for an Art Museum because of it. Our teacher already told us in advance that he will not allow any extensions. I myself wasn’t able to successfully finish everything. Nevertheless, I feel very satisfied. No class in Software Engineering because two other groups still need to conduct their interview and in Programming Languages, because all of us were already done with our Prolog exercises. Played Tennis with Bernard, Jan, and Redd. I was pretty dam tired in the end. Another weekend ahead!
