33 and counting

so far, i've finished reading 210 sections out of 1020, of the official gazette, otherwise known as the revised manual for geodetic engineers. 810 more to go. i've done about 10 child's-play math problems, nothing of geodesy, cartography, theory and practice.

only 33 more days to go...

counting...

just counting... and i haven't cleaned out the fridge yet, but i seem to have acquired a taste for coffee and toast for breakfast since i started studying.

Freaking out

yes, i put a little reminder on the sidebar to add to my exam anxiety, and another HUGE one where i definitely won't miss it, just to piss me off. so i suppose i'll use this blog to mark the calendar, chart my study progress and track my anxiety attacks.

if i miss a day, it means either i'm working, studying or cleaning out the fridge.

last saturday...

i cleaned the kitchen oven. yes, i did, and after doing my laundry, washing dishes, cooking breakfast and lunch too. then the following day, i again cooked lunch, cleaned up my room a little, scrubbed the bathroom tiles a bit and cleaned the microwave. all this from a girl with no bedroom floor to speak of, just a carpet of used clothes, books, loose change and scrap paper.

so what got into me? the calendar got into me. it's less than 5 weeks til my board exam (AAAARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!) and i've yet to do some extensive studying. it was then that it hit me: i hate studying more than i hate cleaning. i was procrastinating by cleaning.

well, at least my procrastination methods are productive. and i did squeeze in 6 hours of studying after all the cleaning, right after receiving news that a friend just passed his board exams (congrats, tito japee!).

i don't care too much for a door
but this walking around
without touching the ground
is getting to be quite a bore."
