AAhhhh school... I missed it because of it's air conditioned rooms (I live in a tropical country and it's soooooo hot whew!)... and because I had a boring summer, but other than that... haha uh.. hehe oh well
Classes just started last wednesday *sigh* I still have the summer hangover. Can't seem to wake up on time. It's gonna be a sad semester because none of the courses I enlisted were the same as that of my friend's. Another thing is that.. I've got my majors!!! Goodbye sleep and Hello coffee!
What else... hm.. I signed up for certain professors and 'surprise!' they weren't the ones that showed up in class. Well, I think they're ok, but still.... I feel cheated x__X (Good thing the enlistment process went by smoothly).
Thursday, June 12, was Independence day! (We still had classes coz our midget<yes, midget, even for our standards> of a president has the habit of moving holidays to the nearest Monday) Nothing interesting, just a few speeches here and there. Curiously, June 12 was the day that the Philippines was freed from the hands of the Spaniards, who sold the country to the United States for 20M dollars <if i'm not mistaken>, which means.. we weren't 'set free' that day. And yet we still celebrate Independence day on June 12. X__X
Friday soon came.. it was Friday the 13th (wee hee). I went to the local mall, after classes, to pick up the eyeglasses I ordered. Damn were those eyeglasses wicked. Just after a few minutes, I was feeling really wuzzy. I slept at 9:30pm.
The next day wasn't any better so I went back to the mall to have it checked. Turns out.. there weren't any problem with the lens, so they(by they i mean those guys in the optical shop) concluded that i had problem with the frame. ...Interesting.. X__X BS. I've had glasses since 3rd grade and I've switched to loads of different frames since then. Oh well, they said they'd have it checked out so.. hm hm.. o_o
Ohhh... sister's birthday yesterday.... wala lang.

Freakonomics is a must read!!!!! It's been a while since i got really hooked into a book. It's interesting in every way (I just told a friend a little part of the book and she immediately asked if she could borrow it). Interesting questions answered through economics. Seriously, I never thought economics went beyond the numbers thingies (I hate math, just thought you should know... whoever you are). Very provocative and absolutely amazing!
PS. I was not paid to advertise this book... although it is very much welcome
