im finally done with the project

i kinda dreaded this weekend, coz yet again, my weekend was filled with nothing but work, for what seems like the 5th week in a row.

this weekend was specially bad, since today was the deadline for submitting a website project... in japanese.

since i was taking so much classes, i had to keep postponing this over and over again, knowing very well that if i do little by little everyday, i wouldnt have to spend the whole day trying to finish up a messy work.

but its always the case when you're left on the deadline itself. how many times has that happened, eh?

since i had two tests this week as well, i couldnt allocate the time. but i guess what helped me out the most was that i had a mental plan of how the site was going to be like, but i didnt do it completely the way i wanted either.

initially, i thought of just doing how japanese baseball raised its bar to the american counterparts. then i thought, why not make it a bigger scale, include soccer and swimming. then, as time clocked down, i just made it soccer, since its always better doing something you have interest in and at least have a basic knowledge of it.

its a messy work, thats for sure, but at least i made it up in contest. i think.

i went to sleep late last night, like 4, since nobody in our section seemed to go to sleep, and neither could i, for some reason, even though i was really tired. i woke up at 11, knowning there was a sectional cookout at 12, which really turned out to be 1. i was out til 3 plus, filling my stomach with real good steak and excellent burgers, and im not even feeling hungry yet, so i'll skip dinner. i got back, started working all the way from 4 til like 11. almost non-stop. i had to take couple of breathers every now and then, coz it was really hard work, since i had to keep checking facts and wording it correctly, so that the japanese appears right. i had a fright in the last hour when i couldnt load the pages up since they were in japanese. thankfully, i used geocities japan page to load it up, which presented very little problems. then i just editted minor details and it was done. 7 full hours of work. i havent really done that recently.

i should be really tired, but i'll end up watching movies late to the night. tonight's shows... 'i heart huckabees' and probably 'life aquatic with steve zizzou.' i badly wanted to see 'the motorcycle diaries,' but i guess i can see that tomorrow.

seems like i'll be looking forward to yet another weekend, when i know fully that it probably will end up being filled with work again...

end of 5th week. a third into the semester. im surprised i have yet to suffer a serious burnout.

alright, time to unwind a little with saturday night live. oh, the host was paris hilton last week, i thought it was gonna be bad, but it turned out to be pretty decent. and i never thought i'd say this, but she was hot in the show.
