Last Thursday we got the result of our second exam. I passed, but barely, and it’s silly but I became depressed for the rest of the day. I talked to a couple of people who would understand but I mostly kept quiet because I didn’t want to offend anybody who had it worse than me. So I sat out the 4-hour lecture, feeling more miserable after every hour, and after, I stayed with the others for a classmate’s baby shower. It was another hour or two of forcing myself to smile and talk at the right moments. I was drained so I bailed on my study partner and went home early and slept for most of the afternoon. So what’s the point of the story? Wala lang hehehe. Wala na akong tagapakinig ng mga detalye ng buhay ko kaya sub muna kayo hehehe.

The next day back to normal, almost, so I made my favorite Knorr Crab and Corn soup to console myself and watched Kiki’s Delivery Service. It’s a Studio Ghibli anime film, the same studio that produced Howl’s Moving Castle, which I’ve seen 5 times already and I’m still not tired of it. KDS is the first DVD in this new collection. A little about the story - it’s a sweet and simple, coming-of-age story of the young Kiki who left her home to find a life/career in a new city. Now for both films, I’m very impressed with the animation; it’s a major reason why I enjoy these films. And the soundtrack…how to describe…nostalgic.

Before the end of the day, I finished two papers, yay. Thursday sucked but Friday was very good, productive and relaxed.
