In Which He Notices the Weather, Among Other Things

Is it just me, or today just feels different? I mean, it feels like a set plucked out of some weird art film I just happened to wake up in.

I woke up at 11 o'clock this morning, despite setting my annoying alarm clock to ring at 8 o'clock. I set it that early so that I'd have a few hours to cram for my Econometrics exam at noon. Oh well, what I just want to say - I guess - is that I didn't get to study at all.

So I think I just horribly failed the test. I should've studied last night instead of spending the night watching dibidis - which, by the way, were so cool: 2046, Match Point, and A Scanner Darkly. I was kind of hoping that the test would've been easy; after all, I had a perfect record for all my Econometrics quizzes and problem sets anyway, right?

But no! The test had to be reminiscent of Stat 109 under that... grinning thing of a teacher of mine. Fucking A. It wouldn't matter whether you had studied or not because you wouldn't get what the whole test was about anyway.

Okay, enough ranting. I went out of the classroom with some of my classmates for a post-test cig. I looked around, and it was really queer - the whole of the courtyard in between De La Costa and SocSci was covered in fog. What the fuck. I've seen fog in Ateneo before - when I used to live in Cervini - but never during the daytime.

I think the weather might be partly responsible for everyone's generally foul mood today, like the fog somehow forces everyone to get up on the wrong side of their bed and drift around like zombies.

I did something in class that I haven't done in a long time. The teacher had just completed writing this long proof regarding the uses of matrix in multiple linear regression, and I found it marvelous, so I blurted out "Astonishing!" to the surprise of my classmates. That was stupid, but kind of funny, I guess.

Two of my classmates mentioned that they felt like vomiting right after taking the exam. One of the guys I was smoking with post-test mentioned that he vomited right before the exam.

I feel like vomiting now.

Taking a clue from Sir Aly, the song of the week seems to be the Itchyworms' Akin Ka Na Lang. Right, Tony? Haha

Akin ka na lang (akin ka na lang)
Iingatan ko ang puso mo
Akin ka na lang (akin na lang)
Wala nang hihigit pa sa'yo

Boo. :(

I found out something that relatively boosted my self-esteem today though. Thanks.

"Bakit ganon? Ang swangit naman. Kadiri."

Why can't I seem to write well today? No, not just that - I just can't do anything right today. Fuck.

I hope it's just the weather; maybe the state of things will change when night falls.

I am getting so drunk tonight.
