Burned Out

I am currently burned out.

You can't blame me. I am only human and I am bound to get tired, not only born to make mistakes ... hehehe

Yesterday and today's events somehow ate up my energy.

Yesterday, we had a quiz in Labor Relations for a good 35 minutes. Right after that, we had our lecture cum recitation for an hour. I was not yet able to assess myself how I did in our quiz and then I have to be listen intently to the lecture because I may be called anytime.

For our quizzes in Labor Relations, one has to memorize. I tried. But somehow, come quiz time, some things just slip right off my head. Hai na lang ...

Then, today, we had a 130-item quiz in Taxation. That would be 79 items of true and false. There's that 35 item "do you know your constitution" thing wherein we have to state the section and article in constitution where such principle is provided for. And then there 26 items identification. I was definitely drained.

For our quiz in tax, I tried to memorize that constitution thing. But, then again, all those numbers got mixed in the way ... wrong combinations of sections and articles. I hope I can make it up in the true or false questions.

If that's enough, there's that constant concern in scheduling our exams. We can't help if there are times that our schedules would not jibe. We can't help if we are put in tight situations wherein we could not say no to our professor. To think that we are just beginning to schedule our exams .... oh, well!

And there's that thought in my mind on the situation I am in -

of putting myself out there,

of making them think that I can do a lot of stuff.

Sometimes, I am put in a situation where I can't say no.

Sometimes, others have to understand I am no superwoman.

I just do those stuff because I can and people expect me to do such.

I know I can always say no.

For now, I just need some time off.

For now, I am thankful that despite all these, people still see me smile. That despite the wrinkles on my forehead and the close encounters of my eyebrows, people notice that I still smile. I appreciate it because it means that despite my worry, in my heart I am probably ok because I am still smiling .. without me taking notice of it.

Tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow is Harry Potter's Day.

That's the break I need.
