Good day...
I am late in my first subject which is math. We have a quiz today and when I enter our classroom at E305, my classmates were already busy answering their test papers. I hurriedly went into my seat, get my test paper from Sir Jon and start answering. The questions were not as mind-boggling as the previous one. I manage to answers the problems except for problems 1 and 4 in which I did not finish to solve. There were only four questions and I don't have any sure answer. I just hope my answers in 2 and 3 are correct and I can only hope that Sir Jon will give partial score.
During English time, Ma'am continue on discussing on our lessons about Arts in different times like Byzantine Art, Renaissance Art, Classical Art, Mannerism Art, etc. But before that, she congratulate all of us for a job well done in our performance last Friday at the Culminating Activity of the English Month(I guess). She also thank us for our cooperation and contribution. Since ma'am had a discussion, we did not have our report on our respective art work. Maybe we'll report sometime next week. Before she ended our class, she gave us an assignment which serves as our semi-final exam. (naa nasad ni). We have to pick one artwork found in any of the museums/art exhibits she mentioned. As usual, we have to analyze a painting but we should dig deeper this time.
Later on in our Accounting subject, Sir did not discuss a lesson because he have observed from his previous class that his students were not in the mood of listening to his discussion. So, Sir just left us and let us discuss about our activities for the JPIA Culminating Night this coming Saturday.We discuss over some things concerning about our participation in the said event. Some concerns were fixed and some remain unfixed.

Since last week, we are bombarded with tons and tons of school works and that led me to my confusion and anxiety. I don't know now how to manage everything. Where do I start? What should I prioritize? Given a small amount of time, it's almost impossible to manage and finish everything all at once. Sometimes, when I found myself so immersed already with all these crazy school works, I would ask myself, "Why should I devote my time crunching numbers? Why should I spend my time over reflection papers? Why should I memorize all these formulas when in fact, these would get me nowhere? Woud this help me become rich in the future?". I just remember what my former Filipino teacher told us...that someday, we will all forget all those mathematical formulas...we will forget some (if not all) the things we learned in school. What's left are the basic things and these are the things we encounter in our daily life. I agree with what my former teacher said so but why? why should we suffer over these torturing things? Why are the teachers so demanding??? I keep on thinking why and then I realized that this "torture" is part of a student's life and the reason why teachers demand from us could be because they want to bring the good and noble in us. Remember that when we are pressured, we extract good output just like the process of making a sweet and tasty wine.
And last night, as I was making my reflection paper in English, I heard the song "Malayo pa ang umaga" which was the theme song of Agua Bendita. The moment I hear it, it instantly struck me because I can relate my situation to the song.
The lyrics of the song goes like this:
Malayo pa ang umaga
'di matanaw ang pag-asa
hanggang kailan matitiis ang paghihirap ko? at sa dilim hinahanap
ang pag-asa na walang landas
kailan ba darating ang bukas para sa'kin?
Malayo pa ang umaga
