Ah heckk. It’s 4AM and I just remembered I had to write this blog. I don’t even know how that happened. I’ve been so caught up trying to earn money that I completely forgot this was due. Honestly, my days lately have been blending together. School, side hustle, a bit of sleep, repeat. My brain’s probably running on 1% battery at this point.
But anyway, this week turned out to be way more fun than I expected. One of the main highlights was our General Biology 2 roleplay. Our group was assigned the Paleozoic Era, which sounded cool at first… until we realized how much stuff happened in that era. Like seriously, it was packed with events from weird sea creatures to giant insects to mass extinctions. There was just so much to include in so little time.
We had to show the first plants, land animals, major changes in Earth’s environment, and all that. And the worst part? We barely had time to prepare. We kept changing the script, adding stuff, cutting lines, then changing it again. It felt like we were in a never ending group chat spiral of “Wait, let’s change this part again.”
There were moments we thought we wouldn’t make it. We were so unprepared a day before the performance, and honestly, I already accepted that we’d probably just wing it and hope for the best. But surprisingly, it turned out way better than expected. Everyone in our group gave their best, we managed to stick to the storyline, and people actually enjoyed it. And even better, all the groups got a 100. That was such a relief.
Aside from that, we had club elections this week. And guess what? I became Math Club President. Honestly, I did not want the role at all. I wasn’t even planning to run or anything. It just kind of happened—maybe people thought I’d do a good job or maybe they just wanted someone who’s always around. Either way, I’m now stuck with the job, and I guess I’ll try to make the best out of it. Wish me luck.
Now let’s talk about the other thing that almost gave me a breakdown this week: the class T-shirt design. I procrastinated that thing so hard. I kept saying I’d do it “later,” and then suddenly it was already the end of the week and I had nothing to show. People started asking for updates and I just sat there like, “Yeah… it’s in progress,” when in reality, it was just vibes and a blank canvas.
Eventually, I locked in and actually worked on it. I had to change the colors, adjust the layout, scrap my first draft completely, it was a mess. But after lots of trial and error, I finally finished it. Now it’s just waiting for final approval, and I really hope nobody wants to change anything major. I don’t think I have the energy for another round of revisions right now.
Looking back, this whole week felt like one big race against time. I kept pushing things back, thinking I had more time than I really did, and then everything came crashing down at once. But somehow, things still worked out. Barely. It’s kinda funny how that always happens.
I definitely need to stop leaving things until the last minute. But at the same time, part of me feels like I weirdly thrive in that pressure. Not that I recommend it. It’s not healthy. But it’s real. I’m just glad everything’s done… for now.
Here’s to surviving another week. Sleep deprived, slightly stressed, but still moving.
Next week looks promising too. There’s a school based journalism workshop coming up. I won’t be writing this time, but I’m hoping to spot some fresh talents to join our Collaborative Desktop Publishing group. We need new faces, new energy, and honestly, I’m just excited to see who steps up.
‘Til next week
