mixed

this is the day when i felt like a month has passed by..& by that i don't mean just any ordinary month..

8 am- @ adidas, vinzons - i was with this JPIA applicant & we were both manning the entrance booth, when my mom called. She was crying. Her father just died. It was her birthday yesterday. She was planning to celebrate it when she comes home. Her flight was today, so she just arrived there in the morning. & her father died that morning too. Probably from stoke, they said. My grandma was staying at our house while mom was away. She came back to their house early in the morning, and they couldn't wake him up. He was dead.

I refer to him as my mom's dad, not as my grandfather. we weren't that close. we've talked, and we were always at their house when we were kids; but that's all. we see him, & that's it. nothing more. a person can say that i've been too unfeeling, so unemotional. but that's him too. in any case, my mom was crying till the afternoon, & she wants me to go back home next week. it was ok on my sched. But my dad & grandmother decided against it. my mom is still trying to decide about my flight home. her father's dead; there's nothing more i can do. i can't bring myself to cry, to mourn, to do something that would show my grief. nothing..

i told jake about it. he also went here from the states when his grandparent died last summer. he keeps asking if i'm ok. & i am. no need to worry.

11:30 am- my professor in 101 gave the results of our midterm exam, and i got a hundred, a perfect score. in our group of six, 2 of us got a prfect score, one 99, one 98, one 96, & the other unknown. four of us got a 1.00, that's over the nine people who got a 1.00 in the whole class.

that subject is ok for us. we gt nice papers, got good grades in quizzes, & delivered a good report presentation. i'm a little behind right now, but i'l try to catch up with it later on.

2.30 pm- class pic with sir. last day of 141. gil's birthday.

5 pm- someone from jake's school (he ws in a PE uniform), came over to the adidas sale. was surprised. but happy that he really tried to inform people & help me with my project.

6pm- he called 30 minutes earlier saying he was already in UP & was looking for the adidas sale. then i went to BA to check some stuff. Then a few minutes after i came back, he went out the room. i really appreciated the effort though he wasn't able to find what he wanted really. thanks.

7 pm- the adidas staff said that the sales for the day is ok though still not enough to cover the low sales the past few days.

7.15 pm - i asked my prof in 182 if i passed the midterm exam. he said mine's on the 80+. so it's ok. great. i thought i'm going to fail that course.

i read the university paper and the article titled "keys me" was really intriguing. a critique directed to most young people. i want to meet the author. i've got lots to ask.


--i'm too tired to think of anything else right now. i haven't studied yet for my exam in accounting for next week. i wish i could rest for a week.--
