Three Exhausting Days

It's been weeks since I have checked this account. My damn internet connection cannot enter this site (the bandwidth's too slow I assume) so I was forced to use landline connection (30 pesos per hour) but I sure hope the family won't find out (I'll be deadmeat).

Anyways, it's all mixed up as usual. I got my certificate that I have won in the NSO essay writing contest finally signed by Mr. Jala himself (it wasn't signed, making it invalid), I was caught off guard in the periodical exams, so many damn memorizations to be..... well, memorized. Why would I memorize a group of Malaysian or Indonesian instruments in a test then forget all about it anyway? Short term memorizations are useless (or should I say TWOT, total waste of time).

On the other hand, history's got to be one of my strengths when it comes to periodical tests. Sure it's helluva memorizin' to be done but I'm interested in the subject (if only it was officially in english, then I'd sure be reading the book!). Besides, I didn't learn history through textbooks alone, but rather in video games (believe it!). Age of Empires, Total War, Empire Earth, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Civilization, Caesar... you name it. With those strategy games, I can learn history easily (well, maybe except those pleistocene eras... I find it complicated).

Back to the "useless kind of memorzing"......... as I've said... WHAT's THE POINT IN Short term memorizations?

I'm all f***** up in memorizations, I'm also f-up in math. I forgot the formulas I've studied all week long (twot), and I'm not physically, and psychologically prepared. Dammit!

I'll rest after writing this (rather than getting back to memorizing my notes again). It's going to be useless anyway (even if I have to study my notes 3 weeks earlier). I'm hopeless when it comes to these kind of situations.

Recently, I've been finding ways on how to "memorize" things easily.... any suggestions?

Que Sera Sera!!!
