mp3 on repeat: kylie minogue "chocolate"

ahh, three days have passed since the start of second semester. why haven't i updated???

well, i'm too engrossed in (ahem... yet another one) "Harry Potter & the Half-Blood prince"! yes!!! :D i've started reading the book since monday, and now i'm like 2/3 finished.... hmm.. frankly the first parts aren't that exciting yet, though there's lots of juice about two of my favorite characters (ha! villain syndrome strikes again!)... i hope to finish this by the weekend (so i won't be posting around for the moment)... :)

besides, there's nothing so good about school. nearly half of my profs haven't shown up yet, so idle hours were spent chatting and pretty much doing nothing. at least my classmates are still the same group, so spare me the awkward moments. (but i still am a little awkward with regards to the "yappy" ones). most of my profs this time around are femmes (kinda stodgy, but will do) ... and somehow i miss the old ones...

i do hope i'll be able to surpass this semester with high grades (work hard, maggot!) since i *think* i'm DL-eligible. my 1st sem grades amount to a 1.75 (on the dot!) average -- minimum qualifying grade for the dean's list -- and unless i'm mistaken with the subjects and the units, then i'm a hopeful, and you must couple it with good 2nd sem grades to really become one... they post the DLs at the end of the schoolyear. guess i should get a "how to become a brainiac" manual! :p

The Amazing Race update: this week's 2-hour episode was freakishly heart-stopping at each end of the leg... i was really wishing for the bransens stay in the race, only to become the last in the 6th leg (but it's NON-ELIMINATION! hooray!), and then it was a close fight too with the paolos in the 8th leg, but the latter was the one out (and oh yeah, bickering all the way again)... oooh... so that leaves the godlewskis, the linzes (please be first), the weavers (wtf!) with the bransens. 4 teams & 4 episodes left. oh boy, this is gonna be exciting! :)
