HOW TO BUILD A WARP DRIVE
The Damage Report - Summer Break - Ending Week #42/1
Background Music: "Flexin" by Kyla and Blue
NOTE: This is a weekly blog entry that summarizes a series of events of a finished week in and around La Salle.
"... I asked for things to do, but it seems right now I can't do them."
THE past week was just the very end and tip of the Broadjourn Summer Term. On Monday and Tuesday we got our grades from Philo103 and English102. I'm a bit disappointed in my results. The results were moderate. Not that high, and not that low. Just right in the middle.
I'm hoping that these grades will be the lowest line from here and onwards. I'm going to make it a priority that no grade be lower than what I received in Philo103 and English102. It shouldn't be that difficult, there are no more Math and Science subjects. It's all Major Subjects (Journalism, Broadcasting, Newsroom Production, Communication, Advertising...) and the regular subjects.
Anyways, the last three days of the week (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) were all similar. Air conditioned room, a slowly depleting internet card, and television. Of course the radio. On Wednesday though, my classmates Eric and Kate came over so we could work on the BJ6. We got the front page layout down and we worked on the Profiles. All we need are updated pictures and things should all be set for image creations.
Thursday and Friday I ended up watching some old Star Trek tapes in my cabinet. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country... and from there we watched Star Trek: Generations (VII), then Star Trek: First Contact (VIII), and just today on Saturday we watched Star Trek: Insurrection (IX). All there is left is the most recent Star Trek movie, Star Trek: Nemesis (X).
The rains started this week. It hasn't rained like this since the first semester of my freshmen year. I'm inside my house all comfortable though while it rained the past few days.
There's really nothing much to say since nothing much happened. You can read about it in previous entries. I read some of my old journal entries. One year ago (May 24 2002), I went to La Salle to retrieve my ID but I couldn't get it yet. Years ago this week I was watching with my High School batchmate Enrico "The Mummy Returns". I'm glad I've kept track of my life the past few years. It's nice to look back and read what I had been going through before.
Anyways, that brings us to "How to build a Warp Drive". I guess I combined the elements of watching a few Star Trek movies with what i'm going through right now.
I've finally been assigned articles that I know are important. So in a way, that makes me feel important. Feeling important is opposite of what I feel towards the University Paper. But now they've given me assignments. The thing is, now that I have these assignments, I can't seem to get myself to do intensive researching or conduction of interviews. I think I'm experiencing some kind of Writers' Block. I can't seem to start anything correctly.
Hopefully my trip to Ilocus Sur will enlighten me. Being in the presence of writers and campus journalists from across the country ought to bring life to what I want to do. So, "How to build a Warp Drive" in my translation is finding that drive and energy to make me complete these articles with flying colors.
And on one last note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIELLE!! She's 18 now... moved away from DLSU-D... but our friendship will always go the extra mile. For all the great times during Broadjourn Dormers' Night Out... for all the memories as classmates and as friends... this goes ou to you Danielle. Happy 18th! Dalaga ka na!
Good week everyone. Take care.
