Storm has Subsided
Today, it is over. The first year of college is done and what a finish it has been. Math was a wishy-washy thing I got over with. Amidst the test, our prof gave us our standing, I -by luck that shines oh so bright- got a C. Yes, a C. I thought I had a D but then, luck shines on the wicked, and I am one wicked sonuvagun. With a renewed spirit to fight my nemesis, FINALS COMMENCED.
It was grueling, I felt my brain bleeding. The questions ranged from hard to somewhat-too-easy-to-be-true. Go figure, things happen but I know for sure, I am NOT failing Math. I'll get a C or a D at the lowest extremes.
After Math, came Lit finals which was a breeze except for my swollen fingers. I got my Physics score, C+ and if given consideration, I might get a B. A consideration of say... +.3 to my grade? But in any case, what are you -the reader- going to be interested in in reading about my academic life? No fun there unless, well, you like academics which is... well... um... weird. So on to the cool stuff that happened.
I had my first car accident today. Now before any of you, sing your praises of joy to my near demise, I AM WRITING HERE so I AM ALIVE. As I was driving, I was just recovering from two finals and sugar levels are crashing so you can imagine how I was dropping. I had a sugar high cuz I had to keep myself focused throughout the test, in which I did so by consuming a whole Mentos grape bar (?) so I was driving, then there was this corner where a truck was coming out of. The road was open and the truck wasn't moving so I floored it and as I did, the truck started moving and BAM! My side mirror collided with the front of the truck and it well, got bent. The truck sped off and I checked for damages. Funny thing was, Nothing was broken. No mirrors shattered, no door destroyed, heck the truck drove away fast and didn't press charges.
I was told that I became an 80% driver now because I had my first car accident. Yey me. But really, had I been slower, the truck would've caught me head-on. If the truck had been faster, the side of the car would have been destroyed. Point is, I didn't die, had my first accident and made off without serious damages. How's that for luck?
In other news, Summer has begun. We got a wide array of stuff planned. Like the overnight, Silent Hill Marathon, Block trip to Batangas and hopefully, Sophia, we can watch a movie haha. Dream Machine and Syndicate Wars will be done and reviewed. I'm going to turn Carpool into a comic and going to submit it to Palanca nominations to get myself a free lunch! How about that? Wicked eh? There's also the fact that Gali and Berk's film will continue this summer, looking forward to that but Ryan will be off to Italy going inside canals and... stuff.
The storm subsides over the troubled waters, but a storm of my design is just beginning to swell. Ride the Lightning, dudes. This storm is ours!
