The Update You All Have Been Waiting For

Yes, finally, I am writing in the blog again. We just finished taking our midterms. Now all we have left are our finals =/ We are preparing to go home Oct. 16. I am still working out the details, but I believe we are leaving LA on Oct. 19 or 20th (we gotta help Joaquin's grandma prepare for her flight to Canada and I think she leaves Oct. 19) for Utah. Then on Oct 22nd I will fly to Florida. Joaquin will meet up later, and we will leave for LA most likely on Nov. 1. We have to leave the country by Nov. 1 and it looks like our flight will be Nov. 1 but at 11:50pm. Then back here again to our stressful student living.
We are currently looking for another apartment, and I think we found one. It is a little smaller than our current one, but it is way closer to the school and we should be able to get DSL =D Then we can put pictures up again and the works. Im so excited lol
On a serious note, I've had a crazy cough for over two weeks now. I saw the student doctor, and she told me my throat is just irritated. Joaquin is afraid because of the last incident. I am not afraid because I dont have a fever or anything.
We have a lot of friends now who have been very helpful. We are even becoming popular amongst the Foreign Students (not including the Phil Ams). School is a bit tough, but we found out that its among all Foreign students. Why is it that amongst the Foreign students we have the same habits (freaking out about rediculously long lines, stupid group projects, us ALWAYS doing all the work in group projects...) I thought it was just a problem because I am American and I freak out about time and order, but it seems its amongst ALL the foreign students. So I find it funny that it seems that EVERY country practices the same habits except here =/ Its kinda a running joke amongst us, and now I cant help but laugh. I cant picture any of my friends in the States really surviving here without truely FREAKING out. But I am used to it, and I rather enjoy it here, especially in Baguio. Even my Filipino friends think that things are pretty weird, but they just dont know what to do about it. Everyone just accepts things how they are and dont ask why.
It is hard to imagine that I am not going to be in these classes after next month (unless something terribly goes wrong). No one passed the "Devil's" exam. Only here have I seen anyone give exams on things that they never taught. I am hoping that everything will be curved and I am just stressing out for nothing. But I know that next Sem, I definately gotta do something about my schedule because this one really sucks lol
