hell week.
i am literally swamped.
as i write this, my desk’s weight capacity is being tested to its optimal strength as my test papers, books, notebooks, lampshade, radio, notes, pad papers, and other stuff are strewn in disarray. normally, this would have been a disturbing pile of litter to see, but considering the times and the circumstances, i feel enthralled to be within the student psyche again. the deadlines, the papers, the presentations, the final exams, and the pressure - all of them serve as reminders that once more, i am a student in a university. and although my past school’s hell week is thrice as toxic as is the case now, still, the familiar feeling is a welcome respite from the monotonous lifestyle that i had six months ago.
i still need to write about the filipino novel in english, and explain why yabes claimed that the philippine short story in english was born athena-like, full-grown and already distinct. add to that my book review of dean alfar’s salamanca, and my critique to zsa-zsa zaturnah and wasted, two great filipino komiks. and all these would have to be passed by tomorrow, otherwise sir casocot would fry our asses.
hell week, here i come.
once more.
