First and Last Day of Class

June 28, 2009


My brother's birthday was just yesterday. He just turned 10, I think. Oh, and that was only something to share.


Actually, I don't have that much to tell for I only attended one day at school this week. Friday was my first and last day at school for this week. Do you know why? It was because, starting last Sunday, I suffered from flu and some other weird thing that I just couldn't explain for now. But it made me sick for more than 4 days. I was quite glad that classes were suspended for two days (Wednesday & Thursday) because I did not have that many things to lose for not going to class because of the flu. Because while my temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius, I was still thinking of what's happening to school. I really hate it when I miss something at school. Aside from the studies, I also missed my friends from the 1st year and 3rd year alike.


I had many regrets for not attending the class for two days. One of it was, I was not able to join the morning exercises that we worked hard on. Because we still practiced that last Saturday before I got sick and I really wanted to perform. I just don't know why. But I was glad that our English Teacher and the adviser of Saliw Dance Club, Ma'am Mae, was amazed and proud of what they did. I'm already happy with that even if I did not manage to join and actually perform it.


It was a surprise that I managed to go to school last Friday because I was still not feeling well but I had to go to school to attend even the last day of classes. I tried to do my work in school even if my headache was trying to get the best of me and is somewhat telling me to stop what I'm doing and to just go home and rest. But I did not let that simple headache and cough to stop me and I still managed to finish the day bringing with me 2 fully loaded bags.


Last Friday was also exciting because of the introduction of the Earthwatch Teens candidates. It was really amusing because most of the contestants were my friends, one of them was Mizpah. So even if I was not feeling well, I still tried to cheer for them. I was really proud and amazed of them because I can't do those kind of things.


And that's all, as I said, the day ended with me carrying two fully loaded bags and bringing with me a very special gift that someone gave me. I also knew that I was part of the Spanish Class. And that's how the first and last day of class I had for this week ended.
