Happy me and curious Sam! p.s. Kursy, your child was still on his girlfriend when this photo was taken; that's why he's not included.

Dear Kursing,

It has been a long time since I have written to you. I'm doing fine. I still have a lot to do, as usual, haha! I just wanted to let you know how much I missed writing to you. For nearly a month, I've kept my thoughts to myself. Also, I only had a limited amount of time to deal with my thoughts; we had a lot of performance tasks, quizzes, summative assessments, and other things, so I should use my time wisely and stop overthinking. T_T

I am writing to you again because Ma'am Jasmin chatted in our GC that Performance 2 is the padlet. When I saw her message, I asked her when we will start, and she replied, "the padlet is continuous." Reading her message made me feel like an irresponsible student. Really. I then went through my sticky notes to see if it was written on any of them, and guess what? No, it does not. I swear I didn't hear anything about it because If I did, I'd write to you every day :( I thought we'll stop after the exams.

Moving on, a lot of things happened in my life that you are unaware of. As a result, I don't know where to begin. But I'll tell you what happened recently in my life. Remember that research project? We're currently working on Chapter 3. My groupmates and I are waiting for our validators to validate our papers, and I'm getting worried because our teacher only gave us one week to finish it, and we still have a lot of work to do before we can conduct a survey.

After all of those struggles, my day didn't end badly. Guess what? We got a high score in Chapters 1 and 2, and it's better and higher than our previous score on the past. AAAA, THIS IS THE GLOW-UP I WANT. Also, I got 21/25 on the summative test!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I've always been telling you that our teacher's summative tests are hard, but I kinda got used to it, and now I know how to deal with it!!!! KURSING, I AM SO HAPPY. It feels like this is the start of a new beginning. Sana mag tuloy-tuloy na.

Dear Kursing,

I'm lying in my bed right now, thinking about what happened earlier. It was a tiring day. I spent the morning remaking our PowerPoint Presentation in Filipino because I didn't like the theme created by my groupmate. I was not satisfied. Hence, I changed it hehe. It was too plain; I wanted it to be creative and interactive to get high score. Also, since we had an excellent radio reporting concept, the PowerPoint should be fantastic as well! So I took action and did what I could to make it almost perfect.

Wanna know the results? OUR TEACHER LIKED IT. He said we're so gooooooooooood!!! He found it funny and nice!!! I think it's because we have background music and jokes to not make the discussion boring. HAHAHAHAHAAHA. I am so proud of myself again. That's all. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.

Dear Kursing,

I was sad earlier until now. Earlier was our last meeting with my philosophy teacher. :( I felt sad because he won't be my teacher anymore. When he asked us to turn our cameras, that's the time I realized that this would be our last meeting with him. He's a great teacher, Kursing! Aside from ma'am Jasmin. He helped me love and value myself. Teachers are so great. They can mold a student into the best versions of themselves. I am so lucky to have teachers like them.

Dear Kursing,

We have already completed our survey. I'm extremely happy! Finally, I can now submit it to the statistician for analysis, and then we can begin writing Chapter 3. Did you know? The deadline for this is today :( but since our survey questionnaire is researcher-made, we cannot make the process fast; we still need to do what is required. There is no deduction for the late submission, but our paper will not be prioritized on the checking. T___T

I hope we'll finish this right away. I still got a lot on my plate. It's so tiring pero laban lang!

Dear Kursing,

Happy Monday!! Did you know? Time is flying so fast. Your child, Kursy, and sam are growing up so fast as well.

Anyways, nothing special happened today. I just did my performance tasks and slept. I am so drained, and you know what? I had a hard time breathing earlier :( I did lots of things during weekends. I want to sleep.

That's all I can share for now.

Dear Kursing,

I overslept!! huhuhu I still have tons of things to finish, but since it's raining right now, I'll have a moment first before making them.

I hope all of my heart desires will come true. I do have a dream or aim that I'm hoping to accomplish this academic year, but If that dream is not for me, then it's okay. I know I tried everything. Trying my best is enough for me because it won't matter at all at the end of the day. The lessons I've picked up along the way that will make me stronger are what really matters.

Dear Kursing,

IT'S ALREADY DECEMBER! I CAN FEEL THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS NOW. I am so happy because I went this far. I hope December will treat me right.

Hihi, I almost forgot about you because I got busy doing school works. Let's talk about my day; it was great! As usual, I attended classes and did my assignments. I can't wait for this semester to end; I will surely watch movies and go outside with my friends.

That's all for today. I am so sleepy. Good night

Dear Kursing,

Another day, another pt to do!! 😆 Glad there are no classes because it's Bonifacio's Day. I can relax for a while. ^-^

So today, I made my performance task in Philosophy. It's about a Graphic Organizer illustrating the trajectory of my life 10 years from now. I enjoyed making it! And I do hope it will all come true. I've always wanted to travel with my loved ones, be financially stable, become a pediatrician, and live alone, while I have yet to meet Mr. the one. 😝

It's currently 1 PM as I write this, and there's no electricity :( Therefore, it's time to take some z's!!

Dear Kursing,

I

am

so

tired

I finished two performance tasks today and currently making the last one right now. I'm so drained. Aside from that, nothing special happened today.

Oh, by the way. I have a chika. I don't like some of my classmates. They always ask about my scores and compare them to theirs. I found it annoying; therefore, I just ignored them. Why can't they stop doing that and mind their own business? Anyways, I need to keep going and finish my last PT.

See you tomorrow!

Dear Kursing,

Along with my exams for today, I'm doing great. I almost forgot to write to you again because I was working on our research paper. The exam for Practical Research 2 will be based on our final manuscript. I must therefore work hard to make it almost perfect.

My groupmates' tasks have also been given to them, and they are currently working on them as well. I appreciate that my group members are willing to put in the most effort and help the best they can. They are such a blessing to me.

Dear Kursing,

The last day of exams is today, and they are finally over! WOOOOOOO, I am confident that I won't get a low score in the 3 remaining subjects because I studied, hehehe. AAAAAAA I CAN FINALLY GET 8 HOURS OF SLEEP!

Additionally, I believe that this is my final letter to you, but don't worry. I'll keep talking about my thoughts with you in a different padlet, hihihi. Thank you for always listening to me. It has been exhausting these past few weeks, but writing to you helped me feel better. Thank you for being a good companion!

Was scrolling on Facebook and saw this. Perfectly said!!

Dear Kursing,

Hi! Did you know? Hihihi, I'm going to a competition. It is known as "oration". I've always participated in speaking contests, but this is my first time attending this kind of contest since I'm more into poetry interpretation. Even though I have no idea how to do it correctly, I'm excited! May God bless me, AAAAA. Additionally, I have a coach or something similar to a handler, so I suppose I'm good.

Today is a holiday. I'm just relaxing and preparing for the next week by motivating myself that I can do this.

See you tomorrow!

Dear Kursing,

Today is the first day of exams! I don't know if we will continue writing padlet this week, but anyway, I will still write for you, hihihi. I got a lot of things to share!!

Did you know I didn't get any sleep? Yes hehe. While I was studying, I lost track of time. If you're curious how I endure not getting sleepy, well, I just ate a lot of kopiko candies. Why candies? It is because I am not allowed to drink coffee, HAHAHAHAHA, but it was all worth it!! I got high scores. I am so proud of myself! ^-^

Good night, Kursing. I'll go now and study for tomorrow's exam.

Dear Kursing,

Good Evening!! Woohoo, It is super tiring, and I feel so sleepy. Kaya pa ba, self?

Anyway, I just spent the day studying, playing with my cats, talking to my parents, and answering my exams for today. My score in PEH went very well, but in Physics, no comment (it's not low nor high, just average). 🤐

I already did my best, so it is what it is. This won't make me less worthy. Let's goooooo, self!! 2 more to go!!
