Semester's Bucket List

This is a bad-ass post, or you may just say, a bad post. I’m dope from not having slept and I’m reading Jane Austen again. I feel weird like my head is swimming midair. She’s becoming both a drug and a drag. Oh well, time to take a break. 

I have the entire early morning to think about next semester which is getting closer and closer by the second. I’m rad and excited about it. If only I can skip the enrollment part and just admit myself to my first class at once.  

Okay here’s the point. I’m going to be on top of my shit this semester and I need to apply some kind of pressure upon myself, or else I’d totally stick my head in the oven for being incorrigible. So this is yet another list retrieved from my totally sedentary gray matter which houses a thousand list and more. 

I am a fan of cycles. I do make resolutions over and over again and I’m tired of them being dumped and neglected like a prom night dumpster baby. Besides from totally being useless and anti-social, this is another thing I’m so good at – making resolutions/bucket lists/etc. that will eventually break down to two obvious ends, either I'll break them or stick up to them religiously (Rullepa, alert!). 

But for the sake of harmless fun and draining the muck out of my wits here they are: 

First Semester Bucket List/Resolutions:

1. Have ears pierced.
2. Attend at least three university events and go crazy.
3. Wear the university lanyard like a total geek.
4. Memorize the university March and Hymn.
5. Drink some beer, or gin or whatever alcoholic beverage at least once.
6. Explore Iloilo City.
7. Seriously lose some weight!
8. Attend all classes. Perfect attendance gleaming on the card like a gossamer specter.
9. Live in the library in between classes, preferably with a study group or with Xylene.
10. Watch a play.
11. Attend at least two parties I’m invited to.
12. Ace every freakin’ test. No, it’s not impossible. I can totally do it! Watch me!
13. Go to a field trip with friends.
14. Win/Earn something out of writing.
15. I am going to be awesome.

Things I’ve done last Semester

1. Joined the college debate society and represented the sophomore curriculum and eventually dithered. I am convinced that I’m so not good in oral discourse (Haha, ‘oral discourse’ just sounds so…meaningful. Dirty mind working in full throttle.).
2. Had two jobs, worked my ass off, earned a sufficient sum just to send out my resignation letters to both before summer started.
3. Won and earned something out of writing.
4. Attended only one campus event and left early which certainly makes the only attempt to be null and void.
5. Lost a lot of weight but regained it during the summer vacation. Bummer!
6. I lip synced my ass out during the Recognition day because I didn’t know how to sing the University march and hymn and gained totally zero mastery of the lyrics.
7. Drank a lot of coffee, and tea and coke but never tried alcoholic beverages.
8. Living in the city afforded me to realize that I am spatially insecure, bad at directions and that suggest the sore truth I will eventually be lost in a labyrinth of streets that folds back upon itself in infinite regression.
9. I bought the old lanyard and I hate the design. I'm staring at it and it doesn't shout school spirit at all but ‘complete eye-sore’ and ‘money gone to waste’.   
10. Slacked off, cut corners and procrastinated like an Epicurean– big time.
11. Cried my eyes out due to some family related distractions. I have no choice, got to live with them both in tough and best times.
12. Recurrently lost and found my highlighter – the lance of the English major. (The pen is the sword, but they technically mean the same. License granted to use words interchangeably.)
13. Excused myself out of almost every party I was invited to. I am such a hermit and baby, I was born that way.
14. Borrowed a book from the library and only remembered on returning it three months later. My bill? Approximately 350 pesos. I should have just bought the book brand new.
15. Failed almost every test. My results in my Philosophy class exams are both hilarious and horrendous.
16. Gone to an all-day, fun-filled socio-historical and artistic field trip with friends in Santa Barbara.
17. Almost lost my chance to graduate with honors, or just to basically graduate. But, heavens rejoice, I was able to find the eye of the needle.

So yeah, that’s all the grime that clog my wits. Attach the USB cord in my brain and I’ll drain it all out in one smarmy swilling. Nasty. Nonsense, nothing but utter nonsense and a substantial amount of crap in the quiet of the early morning. This is me, dope.
