Wouldn't you know it
Wouldn’t you know it, it’s already Thursday. Wouldn’t you know it tomorrow means Friday and… wouldn’t you know it, it’s already the first of February. Time definitely flies by fast, and that’s whether or not you’re having fun. Over the past 4 days, I’ve been to 2 surprise birthday parties, attended my first week in school and slept very, very little.
School sucks.
Well. I don’t really mean that the school sucks, I mean what I’m doing right now does. I’m currently enrolled in Newcastle College doing a 6 month course in Business. The school’s alright and all but see, when I applied for the course I thought it would be mostly general business, you know? Marketing, finance studies and the like but no. I only have 3 subjects and only 1 is Business related. The other two are Quantitative Methods (Math, simply put) and Information Technology. I go to school only thrice a week, Mondays (QM), Tuesdays (BS) and Thursdays (IT) but if you think this is a good thing, think again. My classes are all from 3 to 9. Yes that’s right, your eyes aren’t fooling you, I take them 6 hours per day. Drat, I know. In the words of my friend EJ, I have the hours of someone taking their Masters. Hum-hum.
On one end, I have good teachers. My Math teacher is a nice, old man who reminds me of Santa Clause –only thinner and because just as much as Santa like giving gifts, this guy likes giving notes, lots of notes. My Business Studies teacher is also nice and seems to be business savvy but she can be a little monotonous in her speech so you can only imagine what that brings about. But my favorite would have to be my IT teacher and who is also my counselor. She’s a very nice middle-eastern woman who gives good lectures and a good dose of fun once in a while. My classes are relatively easy and quite elementary if you think about it (we’re studying Fractions, Business Ownerships and Excel) but looking at it now, it’s not really so bad. And quite honestly, it doesn’t give me any reason not to get a distinction (the highest achievement you can get) so that’s the only thing keeping me challenged right now. Wouldn’t you know it, at this rate I might still have fun.
Birthdays
This Monday saw EJ’s (one of my closest friend slash flat/roommate-turned-mommy) turning 20. Her boyfriend Ed, also my current flat mate, threw her a surprise party which was well attended by almost all of our Pinoy friends and flat mates (and some of their friends as well). The party was a smash, EJ didn’t quite know what hit her when she walked in our flat’s kitchen. Hehe. Good surprise, Ed!
That night also witnessed JM’s (a friend since Thames-days) birthday. Twas pretty nice to actually spend his birthday with him the very second he turned 19. On the strike of midnight, January 30, we had him blow his candles, which really was a recycled candle from EJ’s cake plus one to mean 20-1= 19. Clever and funny, I know. Hehe. The whole night he kept on telling people to come to the surprise party organized for him as well but he was plainly joking but little did he know, the gang really made one for him. So the next night, we went over to their dorm and surprised JM and wouldn’t you know it, despite his “foresight”, he was still shocked. Well done, you guys! Hehehe.
Anniversaries
My bestfriend Kae and her fiancé, Rob celebrated their 4th year together yesterday and Rob surprised her by flying from Canada to New York just to see her. I thought that was awfully sweet. These guys have been through quite a lot in the last two years from conversion, fatal accidents to major career shifts and I couldn’t be any happier standing to witness their union this coming May as the Maid of Honor.
Before Five months ago, I was a silly little girl engrossed in nothing but org work and not much caring for anything else. Until of course this totally random guy walked into my totally random life and randomly turning it all the way round and wouldn’t you know it, 5 tough, at times seemingly impossible months after, we’re still together creating some, if not the best memories I could ever have partaken in with someone. The distance is obviously proving for things to be harder (a lot) but we’ve managed to sort things out in our own unique (and loving) way.
All my love, Happy 5th Month sweetness :-)
