Back to school.

I know this post is pretty late, but I was short in time. Anyway, enough of all that. Let's start this post, I've only limited time in my hands!
So we got back to school last June 15. My reaction was pretty much like, "Oh, here we go again," which is, I hope, something normal for a girl who'd been tortured mentally during her junior year and had only two months to write a novel (a still ongoing novel) she had fully concentrated on and dedicated herself to. I honestly didn't miss any of the school--teachers, classmates, the chalk and blackboard, the big tree at the center (the batibot, as they call it), investigatory project--no, I didn't miss ANYTHING. At all. Well, except for one, of course--my bestfriend. :D But other than that, I completely whined over the whole going back to school thing. I was SO not ready to go back to fully studying yet!
But of course I had no choice. It was something I had to do. So I lazed my butt off in the orientation. And then, we met our teachers--who all had their own unique personalities. I am totally excited over calculus, and web-creation! xD! Oh, and I'm excited about physics, too, though the FREAKING-NEVER-ENDING-INVESTIGATORY-PROJECT ruined that. Argh! Anyway, so far, I'm okay, though I'm still not working to my fullest. But I will, of course! I just have to figure out this whole switching-between-writing-Iris-and-studying-HARD deal.
And I still haven't done my back-to-school resolutions, but even if I had, I won't be posting them here. LOL. Mainly because by the start of July, those resolutions are gone. Ha!
As for my novel updates (as if you need to be updated. No one I know personally knows where I post the chapters, anyway--well, except for two.) I'm thinking of trying to get it to a publisher once I finish it. I've already got that back-up since one of my uncles has a lot of connections for he is a Manila Bulletin editor, or something of that position. I don't really know, but that's our family. Anything about law, politics, accountancies, a little on the medicine part, and a lot on music (yeah, LOL, I know, music just popped up like that. Ha!)--and as of my mother's: architects and art directors, etc. etc., we've got connections to that--which is a pretty good thing, since it will help me a lot in getting careers. :] Anyway, I strayed far. Back to the novel! So, it wasn't exactly my whole--ehrm, what do you call this? Decision? Idea? Yeah, I'd use the term idea. It wasn't exactly my whole idea to want to publish it. That suggestion (or, yeah, idea) came from my readers. They've loyally stuck to the story and after the last chapter I posted, many were already urging me to publish it. And of course, I'd totally want that! I mean, that'd be so friggin' COOL, even if it is hard to get a book published because you've got to go through a lot of processes (and yes, one of them: re-jec-tion). Still, it'd be cool. :D But they'd have to wait, and I'd have to wait...because the story isn't finished yet! :]
Uhh, well, I think I gotta go. I'm running out of time. Still have got a lot to do!
