This past week has been so busy. It has been super tiring and stressful. Is this the start of the end? Yes, I am reminded that we only have less than a month before graduation and a couple of days before the finals. My eye bags have been bigger and darker than usual. I do not remember when was the last weekday that I had a complete eight hours of sleep. It seems so long time ago when I last saw my room organized, long time ago when I was not super busy; the days when I had time to read books for fun and watch K-Drama to pass time.
Making a business plan paper has been a tedious work. We have spent lots of time conceptualizing how we would like our business to be. I do not have a good mind in regards with business but there I was, pushed and squeezed to finalize our paper. The hardship did not end there. Making and selling our product has caused us so much fatigue. Our bodies were pushed into their limits. There we arrived at our decision to just sell for two days instead of three. My group mates and I have chosen to rest than to earn more. What is the use of a little more money when our bodies have said “stop, you can’t?” But I can say there is a part of me that enjoyed it. De’ Cup will always be memorable for me.
Capstone, capstone, capstone! Our number one problem since the first day of second semester. It was not easy thinking of a research title hence more make a product. We initially intended to make bitter gourd gummies but after three trials we just gave up. My group mates and I believed we have exerted enough effort. We have tried lots of remedies to make our product less bitter. Adding honey, sugar, milk, boiling the bitter gourd, name it, we have done it all. A week before February ends we decided to abandon our initial title and come up with a new one. We chose to make Lemoney lip scrub. We were able to finish Chapters I and II in two days and had our title defense within that week. Now, we are still working on our Chapters III and IV. It has been challenging how to interpret the data we have gathered since we are not familiar with this way. Hence, we believe that we will be able to finish this and we will all graduate soon.
In Grade 10, I experienced being the president of both of my Co-Curricular and Extra-curricular clubs. It has been likewise this year. With all the things to be accomplished, I feel stressed. I am trying to take one step at a time to finish both portfolios of my club but I cannot seem to manage it well. I also feel sad that I have asked other members to do some work when I know how busy they are. It is not so me to pass work on others but I have to do it this time. I do not have enough time to finish everything. I just tell myself, this will end very soon. Your responsibilities in these clubs are almost at the end, just be patient.
Who said that academic works and extra-curricular activities are the only problem of the students? They also have to think about their financial statements in the Treasurer’s Office. I still have a balance of around ₱5,000. I am not sure when will Mama settle my accounts. The same reason why our supposed to be retreat in Baguio was cancelled. Not all of my classmates could afford the fee for the said retreat. So Sister Marietta decided that we would just have our retreat in our school. In that way, it would be less expensive and everyone will be able to join.
We only have three days before finals, and I only have one signature on my clearance. I hope everything goes well and this school year will end fine. It has been stressful for all of us, just one last month and we will be able to enjoy summer vacation. At the same time, one last month to be with my high school classmates. The last hell week of my high school life. No more extensions.
