Like the way I proceed with 99% of the affairs in my life, I crammed ("Again?!") for the submission of CompSAt's Year-End Status Report. *Sigh* And even I didn't get to sleep at all and worked nonstop, it doesn't give me any credit for being such a slacker. I've all these plans, ideas, bright ideas, about the organization's documentation... but I guess they just stay that way... IDEAS. In my head. Not executed. Not done.
One other lucky thing for me, my printer is absolutely useless. Junk. Now that I have 250++ pages of reports to print, it dies on me. It ran out of ink and it doesn't even turn on! So now I am in that humbling situation where I have to ask my orgmates to pledge some page-printing for me. :( It's good they want to help, but I won't forget that this is supposed to be documentation, this is supposed to be my work, this is supposed to be done by me.
And so the deadline sneaks in behind my back, and I'm still not done with all the documents... which I still have to email to Lihan so he can print it, then we both still have to go to school to piece together everything they oh so kindly printed for me, then we have to submit the damned thing to OSA.
Knowing Ealden already printed on every piece of paper he has at home (that's 159 pages), and that he's been texting me quite a few times already in the last hour, asking if I'm already at school, wondering what the hell's gonna happen to our report. On which the accreditation of CompSAt has been depending on for the last three years. In vain.
So barely an hour ago, I was willing the computer to work faster through the sheer power of my mind, hoping Yahoo! Mail would attach more quickly, walking around not knowing what to do, trying to ignore my grumbling stomach, suddenly forgetting about my lack of sleep, being at my wits' end everytime my phone rings ("Yeah I'm still here, half the printing's not yet done. I don't think I have envelopes..."), wanting to be lost in the mess that my room was, feeling all the blood rushing to my head, getting dizzy, feeling stressed, pressured, tortured, and numb all the same time.
And then Ealden calls (again) saying "Matulog ka na!" I thought he was mad. Wala na daw akong silbi kaya matulog na daw ako. Yun pala, extended na ang deadline. I almost fainted in relief. I was caught between wanting to laugh, cry, sleep, collapse, and apologize. Lumabas siya sa class niya, nag-shopping ng school supplies, lumuhod sa OSA, and got an extension for us. God bless him!
Now I'm back to normal. (See? I've put off doing work again to write this..!) I'll try to finish the entire thing, and go home to Lipa later in the afternoon. Then I'll worry about our Comm movie clips presentation, Philo readings, and the rest of my hellish life.
I think I'm about 2 inches shorter now. My back is a perfect curve. Kuba. Body pain... not enough vitamins.
This is all my tenji's fault. Magpakita nga!
