Ang talata, balita, at komposisyon sa Retorika...
The Four Zones of Proxemics in Intro to Communication Theory...
I did my best to prevent my head from exploding during the two most difficult exams of the entire week. RETORIKA, which is the third and final Filipino subject of the Broadjourn Curriculum and COMM THEORY, which is the foremost and premiere Major subject of AB COMM and BROADJOURN.
I can't say much again since my head was blown off with the two exams. I fixed up my assignment for COMM THEORY (The Four Zones in Proxemics by Edward Hall) this morning and was late for tutorial with Upper and Teenah at the Executive House (e-house, lobby of the dorms). So, Teenah gave me a rush review right before this bitchy proctor entered the room.
I answered the exam as best as I could and I was glad it was about newspapers. Parts of the newspaper. It's our friggin' course and I work for the University Paper, so it would be great shame if I failed that part of the test. I think I screwed up the talata part... I was able to answer, but it was kind of messy.
After the exam we only had less than an hour before taking the exam on our only major subject this semester. We went to square canteen and ate (baked mac for me, that was my brunch... ugh... talk about mal-nutritioned) and then I rushed back to the SBC to get me a Test Booklet. We proceeded to FCH and after a few moments, the examinations began.
The exam was answerable at the same time disappointing since I failed to memorize all the terms. The coverage was in an organized variety compared to last term's coverage. The coverage for our midterms was about the different theories, so I could now focus on the difference between them. Last time, it was one giant topic with tricky questions... during the prelims I never knew the word "communication" could be part of dozens of other words. Interpersonal communication, Social communication, Public communication, Intrapersonal communication, Communication this and communication that.
My head didn't explode but I did crash into my dorm room in the middle of the sunny afternoon. Kyle was playing FF8 and I accidentally dozed off two hours of my day. I hate taking naps, I get instant headaches and have this feeling that "I missed half the world while I was sleeping."
Luckily, I prevented that and instead went next door to Lance's room (Condominium F-4). Lance was playing Ragnarok MMO at Hubsite while Kevin was playing FFX on the PS2 there. My roomie Kyle was also there.
After another hour or so, I convinced them we should eat out and we went to KFC earlier. Lance catched up just as I put down my fork and spoon after eating. He returned was to La Salle then Kevin and I decided to surf at NEBO but it was closed. So now we're at Launcher PC Internet Cafe next to the old location of Fiat.
It's almost curfew, so I'm logging out now. "The Damage Report" for this week will be brief, since I've been enumerating my past week day-by-day.
