Guess who’s not taking basic Filipino?
I should be studying the introduction of my fiction textbook for a Lit quiz on Wednesday. But who can concentrate on the elements of fiction with noisy roommates and Ja Rule growling in the background? Bah. I’ll wait for my roomies to leave for dinner before hitting the books.
Today was wonderful! 
I didn’t think my day turn out so well because as I made my way to school, I remembered that not only do I have an oral presentation for Lit class, we would also learn the results of our diagnostic test for Filipino at noon. O_o I hate talking in front of the class, and I hate being at school during the summer even more (although it’s never happened to me). I wanted to be one of the first to present at Lit so that my heart could stop palpitating and so I could get the freaking thing over and done with. But nooooo. My turn just had to come right after this guy’s brilliant presentation. Naturally, all the stuff that I said sounded so stupid moron-ish in comparison to his. As I went back to my seat, I felt more idiotic than ever. I suppose I can include Literature to the list of classes that make me feel like I have air for brains. Everything everyone else says sounds so smart. Everything I say sounds so dumb.
Eventually, 11:30 came by and I went to my Filipino class with a heavy heart. I sank into my seat, expecting the worst. The worst being an extremely boring summer at school studying and attempting to understand Filipino literature. Our prof came in soon and announced that although she had checked our diagnostic exams, the Filipino Department wasn’t done deliberating on who will stay at Filipino 11 and who will be send back to Filipino 10 (which is the basic Filipino class). Charlie, Kim, Andrew and I asked her after class if we could see our scores anyway, and guess what? We’re all staying in Filipino 11! Including me!!!
(Knowing my wonderful luck, my prof will probably tell me on Wednesday, “I’m sorry Lauren, but I made a mistake. I looked at the wrong name when you were asking for your score. Apparently, you’re in Filipino 10.” But whatever, let me feel good about this while I still can.)
I went with some of my blockmates for lunch at Kenny Roger’s to celebrate. I felt so relieved, as though a great load has been lifted off my back. Well, not really; there’s still the math diagnostic test on Friday. But at least being in Filipino 11 is one less worry off my mind. Hopefully.
During lunch, My Secret Crush looked at me in the eye and smiled. I think.
Wheeeeee!
Oh, and I ran into Dave (”Dulk”) when I passed by his bench. 
I wanted to stay and chat, but I left soon because I said that I would go with Charlie and Kayelle to the PE room.
Roomies are gone. Guess I have no choice but to do homework now.

What happened to Jason?
What’s important during such presentations is always the confidence you have in yourself. Don’t fret
Yes, what happened to Jason??
Just because I have a boyfriend, doesn’t mean I can’t get crushes on other guys anymore. =P
I don’t get it. I thought if you had a boyfriend then you don’t have feelings for others? Define “crush.”
I definitely agree with Lauren!
You go girl! Haha…This only means one thing, I’m agreeing with you cause I’m doing the same thing. 
I have a crush on my Eng Block and he so cute. He even signed up for the Rifle Team on the same day that I did. 
Oooohhh! And I’m not taking Fil 1 either! Yay! 
I define a crush as a guy whose physical features/appearance I really like. It’s really nothing more than that.
temporary love of an adolescent :hug:
