I have spent the past week confined in my bedroom, because I grew sick with chicken pox. I was very angered at first, because I was missing big time. It was rather annoying for me, because it had to occur mid-quarter, just when all the big-percent-of-the-grade projects, FIELD TRIPS, and long tests were coming in. AND THE BATCH ACQUAINTANCE PARTY. And I had to miss all this for two weeks. If you're studying in Pisay, missing two weeks worth of classes is almost a death sentence. It basically meant, Work extra EXTRA hard to catch up, or it's a 5 for you.
I have no intention to get that terrible grade. So I called up my friends on the phone and grilled them on homework, tests that I missed, and all the social life fun that I missed as well.
I decided to write down everything I missed so it would be easier to know where to start and where I needed catching up. And the way I recorded it made me think of Survivor! I hope you enjoy the following updates, since they'll be detailing how school life is going without me. Let's see how long I can stand being out of the loop (it's something I've really hated).
So here's a day-by-day account of what was going on in Pisay, minus me. I was thinking on it all, while trying to ignore the itches that were begging to be scratched (and I swear, I am NOT going to scratch them; I've got a complexion to think of, thanks).
WEEK 1
Day 1 - 4 July 2005, Monday
I missed a lecture on revolution in Earth Science, a debate on oil price deregulation in Social Studies, a seatwork on divisibility rules in Math, two quizzes (one in English, about an article we were reading, and one in Filipino, about Wika & Ponema... the latter was said to be torture). I also missed a meeting in Drafting where we had to do a drawing of circles. And wowiez... notes came in floods during Integrated Science.
I missed out on some excitement. For starters, I'm not the only one who's absent. My seatmate, Jiggs (see older entries for more details on him hehehe), was also absent, with fever. I knew that fever was one of the beginning symptoms before the blisters of chicken pox appeared, so I felt so worried and guilty the entire day, because I thought that I infected him.
I also heard that my super annoying classmate, Daryll, had another freak attack (or were there two? Three?) during the day. In Math class, to do the SW given, the class had to divide in pairs. Even though Jiggs and I were absent, it was still possible for everyone to get exact pairs. Well, after almost everyone paired up, Daryll was still left without a partner, and he ended up pairing with EJ (the guy who infected me with chicken pox, darnit!). He didn't want to be paired up with EJ, he wanted to be paired up with Khail (one of my closest guy friends who is somewhat on the effeminate side [joke lang, Khail!]).
So Daryll shouted at EJ and pushed him and his chair around, just before bursting out crying. Jeez. Get real!Then, when my class were planning for the Batch Acquaintance Party (I can't believe I'm gonna miss it! *cries*), he cried again because he didn't want to sing, but he didn't want to dance, either. My gawd, could anyone be more picky??And I think it was because of all this that Daryll attemted jumping out of the classroom window. Again. And as before, it was Khail who stopped him. And, as usual, Daryll got pissed off at Khail. Same old thing that happens
whenever Daryll does an attempt at "suicide".
As I listened to Isay (she's the one I call for HW and all other necessary updates) chatter about everything on the phone, I laughed with her and tried to imagine the rest. What was highly amusing, and kind of was touching to me in a twisted sort of way, was that Khail was kind of "pissed" at EJ, because he got me sick, and now he doesn't have that much people to talk to and no one to play volleyball with. Awww.... thanks Khail, and don't worry, nandyan pa si Prissy (I hope your dare pushes through!).
Well, I've survived one day. My spots are still coming out and are still itchy. But maybe they'll tone down in a bit.
