This week...

I was quite busy this week because of lots of activities at school as well as some personal things. First on the list of all was CAS Day. During this day, all students should make a display, likely a Science Fair. But this time, the materials were all recyclable. The top 5 winners for this Science Fare were given exemptions at Final Exams for Chemistry, both Lecture and Lab. Anyway, for our display, a classmate of ours had suggested that we should recycle Styrofoams by a means of dissolving it with acetone. By dissolving Styrofoam, it will create a new product which looks like a sealant. The said product indeed is like a sealant 'coz when we try to stick it in a hole of a roof tile and pour some water on the said area, there is no leak. The product could be serve, too like a material for molding or for figurines and it is potential for sticking it as a glue. On the display, well, students could go and see the displays. They roam around the lobby of the university. But I think this time, the displays are took out and the tarpaulins as well.

Second on the list is to make a bookmark with the words, ARAW NG LAHI, enscribe in it. The university would celebrate this after CAS Day and our professor asks all of us to make a bookmark with the said words in the bookmark. It was almost like this one is hard for me. I have to do some photoshop for the bookmark so that I can make a very good design. It took me about 2:30 in the morning to finish all of the three bookmarks that I made. The next day, since there is a defect on the color of my printer, I printed it on Netopia at SM. It costs about 60.00(it is 2-page). After a while, I made it to laminate at National Bookstore. After the professor checked the bookmark, she told us that we could give it to anyone.

Third on the list and one of a hard one was the Sabayang Pagbigkas. We, a majority, decides, one Wednesday morning to let go off this said activity for the sake of Chemistry. This activity is only for points while Chemistry is compulsory. But a few minutes later, the president of our class, decides that we should continue with this one 'coz there is no more a bottle of acetone for Chem and there is no stacks anymore at the store that we used to buy. We start the practice immediately in the afternoon and finish it merely 6 in the evening. We continue practicing the next day and in the morning. Later in the afternoon, the moment that we all waited and practicing for was here. We present our Speech Choir piece in a crowd(i think the crowd is only less than a hundred) at the university gym. Well, I find our speech to be good but on the latter end, some of us almost forgot the last stanza as well as the song, that used as a filler for 5 minutes. Yet I know that we pulled on and did best. On the announcement of winners, the third and the second place were both sections of nursing. And the first place goes to... us. A wind of happiness came upon us all when we learnt that we are the first place winner of the said choir. Some jumped while some runs to our class president. Some would hugs each others and handshake while some had uttered praises. All-in-all, it is happiness.
