After Week 10 of INTRICT

Week 10 of INTRICT was really HELL... Or to correct the statement the week of July 28 to August 1 was HELL!

We had this midterm project, a 5-chapter paper, needed to be done by the quad group in INTRICT class. The midterm paper project is about the Makro field trip, by the way. And there, I had to work with my quad group: Sherv, Koko, Jet, and I. But consequently, Jet failed to attend the field trip so basically he will really not be able to help us in the paper. So it's just me, Sherv, and Koko.

To make things worse... MY FRIGGIN' LAPTOP FAILED AGAIN. ITS FRIGGIN' BACKLIGHT BURNED OUT... AGAIN! And so I had to spend the night at Maynilad Study Center (it's near Starbucks at Taft) after coming from Pep Squad training. I arrived at the center at about 10pm or so, came down to have dinner, and went up again to work. In between the worktime I spent, I've had a few naps, which I really needed. It was a good thing that I didn't fall totally asleep... or else... DAMN.

I worked on Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. What's even worse is that Sherv fell asleep... I really had to do Chapter 5 on my own, while Koko was finishing Chapter 1 and 3. I was wordless until around 1:30AM, and really pissed off at the time because I hoped to finish by 2AM but remained at a few sentences minutes after 2AM. I finished the paper with what I can do and with all the energy I had left. I don't know how I survived that day without getting any SLEEP at all. Yes, I DIDN'T GO HOME to finish my part on the paper. I even walked through Taft Avenue at 5AM to get to my friend's unit, of course, to take a bath and get ready for the day. Thank God I wasn't held up, stabbed, or whatever.

That 11PM-5AM was the LONGEST time I've ever had in my life...

And FACT...

I only got 7 hours of sleep in the last 72 hours of July 28-30.

SLEEP HAS BECOME MY MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE AT THIS POINT OF MY LIFE.
