So I've been dreading the first of July since who-knows-when because of my upcoming birthday. I think this is the worst case of birthday blues I've ever had simply because I'm turning
twenty this year and I don't particularly like that number because 1) it means I'm
old and 2) there's something
off about it.
Anyway, aside from me stressing over the inevitable, Loki, the god of Mischief, has other plans for me today. I woke up late (read: 15 minutes before the time) for my Sociology class and I had to rush to school because our teacher told us last meeting that we're going to have a group activity today. I arrived in Faura AVR (because that's where we were supposed to meet, instead of our usual classroom in CTC) 15 minutes late and found that the class was watching some sort of documentary about Marcos and MalacaƱang (FYI: I found out that there was a "ghost" of Quezon's butler in the palace during Marcos' time. Creepy. :O). I was seated in the corner at the back, silently glancing around the dark room for familiar faces. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any because my classmates are all sophomores and I don't know any of them. But I started thinking that I might be in the wrong classroom because my teacher is nowhere to be seen. Besides he didn't mention anything about watching a documentary, unless he wanted us to analyse how people socialize with each other during the Marcos period.
So I went out of the room, ninja style, and went to our classroom in CTC to check if the class moved back there. But it was empty and I felt stupid for leaving the AVR in the first place because that means I have to sneak back in. Then a classmate texted me that we were given a free cut and I was like, "Oh. I woke up this early for nothing. My next class is in ten hours."
In my five years in college, this is only the second time I found myself in the wrong class. The first one was during the second day of my fifth year. I'm starting to think that the older I get, the more stupid I get, too. Who ever said wisdom can be earned through the years? Apparently, I'm not getting any wiser and my brain cells are slowly dying. I mourn for their death.
I have six more hours to spare before my next class. And six more days to contemplate before I officially become a tween.
God, I need more time.
