Quack, Quack

Five more units to go, and the 1L chapter of my life ends. That's an interesting thought. It's the most profound thought I've had for the past how many days. I've been studying for finals, and I think my brain's retaliating for all the trauma I'm inflicting on it by rendering me incapable of either understanding simple statements or functioning properly. Case in point: Subway girl says, "would you like that toasted?," I say "provolone," and then I act all confused when she looks at me like I've turned into a carrot. Another example: this morning in the shower, I got shampoo in my eyes, knocked the shampoo bottle over (naturally, because I couldn't see), and then banged my nose on the soap plate when I was bending over to get the bottle. Man, that hurt my nose big-time. And then I hurt my big toe when I tried to kick that bottle over to the side. Oh my goodness. The ruckus I was making. "Don't let me get me. I'm my own worst enemy." Pink wrote those lines for me.

Unlike finals time last semester, I can't complain about the snow, because there is no snow. Spring is in the air, and the weather has been nice. Of course, I'm not out all that often, and the only time that I do get to see the sun is when I walk to and from the law school, but everything looks green and shiny from the window of my study place. Speaking of the weather, the most un-Filipino thing I've done here is to go outside with two of my friends and lay on the grass while reading for Contracts. Imagine me doing that in the Ateneo quad? Imagine me soaring through the air with a duck on my back?

Did any of you know that ducks could fly? I honestly had no idea that ducks could fly! Yeah, yeah, I'm a Mighty Ducks kid, and I know that movie line about "soaring high and flying straight" or "flying high and soaring straight." Ay, whatever. I know about the V formation that they used in the movie, but I never really thought that ducks could fly! How scary. Those big fat birds have been all over the campus lately. And then I saw one flying, and it just really creeped me out! What if it lays a balut on your head?! Or two baluts?! Scary thought. But I'd love to see it happening to someone.

There are so many animals around here. There are small red birds, small blue birds, small black birds, small brown birds, big black birds, flying ducks, hopping bunnies, wombats, raccoons, ostriches, squirrels, chipmunks, swans, dogs, cats, elephants, and monkeys. Just kidding - about the last two. It's a bit unnerving sometimes to see all these animals around me. It makes me feel like I'm in the Singapore Wildlife Safari place, and people are viewing me from their tram.

I am boring myself with this entry. Until next time then.
