Is it just me, or has the Internet suddenly gotten universally crappy down here? I mean, I'm finally not downloading some huge-ass file off BT, so I can effectively snatch stuff from DDL sites, but browsing has been strangely difficult. o_o ...Anyway.
Had my first regular day at school since I got back from my immersion, and I was greeted by a quiz in Theology 141 (which I totally failed) and a thesis class session wherein Sir DM had those who were ready submit their "final draft" before D-Day. He also proceeded to chew out those who weren't in the clear, and outline both the flow of the actual defense and exactly what was expected of us in terms of conference requirements. As of this moment, I am certain that I will be presenting my paper as a part of Panel 6 on either February 20 or 22 at the Natividad Galang Fajardo Room, Dela Costa Building. Mark your calendar, folks... I think you're all welcome to come and watch.
Righto. So I know I ought to be a little more freaked, but to be honest I only get a little twitchy when I'm sitting with the lit block, discussing thesis matters with Sir DM himself. I guess I could say that I'm very confident about my thesis -- I mean, I've run it by both Sir DM and Sir Vince (my mentor), and both of them say that it's already good. I think at this point it's just a matter of making sure I do even better than just good, and hoping to God that I don't get bitchy readers. I've already anticipated what some of t
On that note, I will be posting my thesis under a filtered f-lock soonish. I'll need people to read through it and help me condense the paper, as one of the pre-conference requirements is an extremely condensed version of our thesis that clocks in at about 8-10 pages -- perfect for a 20-minute presentation with a supplementary Powerpoint.
Beyond the thesis freak outs and Theology massive failures, I hooked up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
archangel_dream, who showered me with chocolate chip cookies and more moneyz for the PSP Fund. I'll be cashing in my check from work soon, so I'm very, VERY close to my goal... if I scrimp over the next 2-3 weeks, I should be able to hop over to Greenhills and buy me a PSP before the lit conference. *fufufu*
My head was full of thesis by the time I got home, so the trip over to Pio's apartment was a very refreshing change of scenery -- Peter's birthday became a sorta excuse for everyone to get together there, since my Tito Lorrie and Tita Faye will be returning to the USA very soon. We celebrated with popcorn, tortilla chips and Toblerone fondue while Peter rolled around on Mai Mai and Pio's guest bed. Kid's tuckered out from all that parting, I think.
Other small victories include:
1.) Getting more dermatological gunk for my skinbecause I might as well have a clean face since I haven't been exercising.
2.) Backing up the 22 GB of Hentai titles that I kept from the original 53 GB download.
3.) Sorting more of my music.
4.) Nearly finishing my Darker than Black fanfic. Give me a bit more time; I may be able to wrap it up by the end of the week.
5.) Bonding with Liana. She's such a tough kid, but she does seem to like me. :3
Going back to work tomorrow. Dad won't be around (he's going scuba diving in Batangas again), but I think Pio will be, along with some of my aunts and uncles.

...I'm wondering if Tin will mind me posting the condensed version of my paper as an article on the RoD blog after the conference.
It's sure to kick the arse of some other so-called critical analyses we've been seeing online as of late.From:

Actually, Sir DM is assigning readers according to interests so I might read thesis that has to do with Urban Studies or Queer Studies... which means I MIGHT read Arne's thesis. I will stop there :p

Oh, I never got to tell you: he and I were actually assigned to the same group in class once. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

Oh hey I see my surname there.I don't think you have real cause to worry. You started it early and kept up a good pace, and didn't do any of the cramming and rushing that I did with my thesis. Plus, you're a great speaker. I'm confident that you'll give a good presentation. >3
(Third paragraph got cut off? And I know Toblerone and I know what a fondue is, but what the heck is Toblerone fondue like?)
Also, I don't think Peter knows me, but I'd like to say belated Happy Birthday to him, anyway. XD
