How Fast Things Were Last Week - Day 4

After having ourselves a little "wasak" the other night, i still managed to wake up early. i don't know why. maybe because i was just used to waking up early. i woke up at beyond six. still early, i guess.
i woke up and did not yet take a bath. my roommate was also awake by this time.
i went to the dining hall, hoping that breakfast was already served. i was not disappointed by this time. it was already there. i walked inside the hall, as if nothing happened that night.
minutes later, the other fellows followed. some of them were with me when we had a drinking session the other night, especially Rhodge. ahaha
i asked Rhodge and all he could say was "Boysit ka!", but he said this in a very gentle voice, as if he was not mad at all. such nice guy!
after having breakfast, i went back to my room and took a bath. imagine how i looked like when i went to the dining hall. hehehe.lol
after taking a bath, i tried to read again the works that were to be discussed for that day.
after reading them, i decided to go to the conference hall. i seemed very much prepared for the upcoming sessions.
the session started and i tried to keep up with the discussion given by the panelists and the fellows. i was glad when the first session ended and we took a break. there was again a served snacks for us. (happy mode)
after the break, the second session took place.
another work was discussed.
after an hour or less of discussion and after revealing the identity of the author, we were given the time to take our lunch. again, the food was great. their food has always been so great since the start of the workshop. my stomach was always happy.
my roommate went out to by some souvenirs, but they went back earlier than expected. i forgot the reason why.
at 2 o'clock, our session resumed.
there were now two sets of works to be deliberated. compared to the past two days, there was only one work or collection in the afternoon. this day marked the beginning of a very tiresome afternoon for both the fellows and the panelists.
we discussed the first. had a short break for snacks, then went on with the second one.
after the afternoon sessions, we were told that there will be a Rizal presentation in the school's theater. it was to be presented by the school's theater group.
after eating dinner at 6 or 6:60 in the evening, we were told to prepare for the presentation.
we went there, but not all of us.
the presentation was good. i had goosebumps while watching it not because i got scared but because i was so impressed with the entire presentation. i was again happy.
after watching, we went back to BK. we met the others outside BK because they were planning to have another session outside BK. however, it was drizzling. it got heavier from time to time.
so, the group decided to postpone the plan.
everybody went back the house, a little frustrated.
i went back also to our room. i took a bath.
i decided to read the next set of collection, which included mine.
i also decided to sleep early because i was hoping to prepare myself for the "katayan" the next day.
i slept at almost 10:30 pm.
This day was April 28, 2010.
How fast things were last week.
