On Changing a Planned morning of Studying to Hanging Out
Kasaysayan this morning was half-disasterous and half-relief. Ms. Montenegro spoke to me as I was the last one left in the Examination Room in OSH. I was bathe in the morning sunlight in the abandoned room. My classmates moved on ahead as I took my time to answer the questions of the exam.
It was being late that changed the shape of my morning. I left alone down those clackity-clak-clack stairs of OSH and stepped out onto the main Avenue. It was bursting with students now in complete uniforms. As I took out my cellphone to txt Jerson, Jhen, or Eric about their whereabouts... Judy (the filipina from Jordan) together with Mariane (her father is retired US Navy like my dad, she is also an aspiring media person) and Conie (used to study at UP Diliman but left due to crossfire with a Frat) met with me.
The three are members of COM1-1. Which is the counterpart to JOU1-1. Any past things mentioned here in this blog is now updated. Anything going on between COM1-1 and JOU1-1 is false. It's between some girl in my class and some girls in the other class. It's not a war between sections as I stated prematurely in a former entry.
Anyways, my VPAPU (org) fellow probee Jerwyn, also COM1-1 was also in the group. I was cut between deciding to search for Eric at Square Canteen or to stand down from my search for my classmates and instead jump onto the wild side and join three girls and a guy to head off-campus and eat.
If I had chosen to go search for my classmates, we would eat and then we would review. It was my original plan. But I wanted to feel something unexpected, something spontaneous, so I chose to go with Judy.
We headed out and ate at the back of Brejanah Cafe (the original Brejanah cafe). There, I saw outside in the alley on the seats my JOU1-1 classmates Endrea, Kristine, and Nats. I went out to greet them and then Judy invited me to join Mariane, Conie, and Jerwyn at her dorm which is off-campus.
The rest of the morning was spent at her dorm. There is a ghost in her dorm according to Judy from something that happened last night. Coins spontaneously bursted down to the floor when someone knocked on a wall nearby lightly. Applying Physics and common sense... the coins should have just slipped off the edge of a platform on a cabinet. But it didn't. The coins looked like it blew up or someone swept them in an instant.
I felt some odd energy in the room. Not that I'm Psychic (Contrary to the fact that this blog "3rd Charm" in my fan fiction series is Psychic) but I felt like their were more than 5 people in the room.
Judy showed me her pictures back in Jordan. Judy looked so grown up and mature in those pictures and in her Graduation Wardrobe. The people she met ranged from a Taiwanese to a deep Arabian. She had an interesting life over there and I had no idea it snowed in Jordan.
I just noticed that COM1-1 is just like JOU1-1. Unique, and everyone has their own personality. If I was forced to transfer course and section, I would travel next door to COM1-1.
Anyways we headed to our exams quarter till noon. Since COM1-1 will always be the most identical to JOU1-1, everything was basically the same. COM1-1 has the same exact subjects JOU1-1 has. The examination schedule is also identical.
Enough with the COM1-1 stuff I'm mentioning. These people are just as unique and individual as members of my class. I still love JOU1-1, I just didn't realize that the other section had just as much life as we did. Something I underestimated sure bit me in the ass earlier.
I arrived into the assigned examination room for JOU1-1's "Ecology". I didn't review this morning or before the exam. Something I should have done. But I'm glad I reviewed last night for 30 minutes, because it really helped out in answering. I think I passed but I didn't reach my goal to attempt to perfect the exam. Again, I'm not the perfectionist type but with a subject wherein the teacher sees me as an absolute loser in her topic... I just needed to turn the tables. I blew my chance at perfecting the exam, but I think the result won't be so bad.
SUB-TITLE IN REVIEW: Sounds brutal. But I did study enough and it was a chance for me to get to know these people more.
