Strange Yet Familiar November 8, 2007
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , trackbackYou know those days where you swear you’re having the worst day of your life? Everything that can go wrong, goes wrong, as wise old Murphy said, and you feel down in the dumps. Simply putting it, you had a bad day.
But nothing went wrong in my day today, apart from my iPod running outta battery while I still had 1.5 hours of commute left ahead of me. I woke up on-time, had a decent snack before leaving the house, South Super Highway traffic was not its usual sadistic self, I got home in one piece, and I even had a hot-fudge sundae before taking the service home from Ayala, AND I got the subjects I enlisted in this afternoon.
Yet I still feel like I have a dark rain cloud hanging over my head. And it’s been dampening my mood the whole day.
I think I know why, though. I think it is because of a semi-pseudo premonition I am having about the coming semester. I THOUGHT I was excited to start classes and all that, but apparently, it’s just wanting what you don’t have. Now that I can actually feel how heavy the burden of acads and everything else will be bearing down on me this sem, I am actually whatever the opposite of excited is.
Classes haven’t even started and I’m already losing sleep. I have 18 units once I’m done enrolling, and 18 units is no joke if I consider I only had 15 units last sem and nearly hanged (yes, hanged not hung, thank you very much) myself from being so overloaded with tasks and not being able to sleep for over 2 hours a day.
Plus, my very concerned and overly-protective-but-has-no-sense-of-how-hard-it-is-to-commute-to-UP mother has still not given in on my pleas and begs for her to let me dorm again. Curses.
A visit to the dentist:
Dentist puts an effin lotta cotton in my mouth, does her thing with her dental instruments in my mouth, leaving the sucking machine thingy on.
Dentist to my mom: So nagcocommute pa rin si Mayee araw-araw papuntang Diliman?
Mom: Oo.
Dentist: Bakit hindi mo siya ipagdorm?
Mom: Eh pwede ko naman siya ihatid. And, ano ulit yun, Mai, bakit nga ba ayaw kita magstay sa dorm? (referring to her reason that she won’t be there to wake me up, and I would keep being late for class. Go figure.)
Mayee: (mumbles incoherently due to the overstuffed mouth) *in mumbles: ay ewan ko sayo*
Dentist: Naku ang layo talaga nun. Hindi ba siya nahihirapan ng ganun?
Mom: Oo, nahihirapan.
Wtf?
Argh. Bad day, bad day.
