I have been traveling

Recently, people have been wondering where I am and why I am on such places in so little time. I find it really funny how they thought that I was out of the country in so little time and I'm traveling halfway around the world within a weekend and supposedly be back by Monday.

That gave me a thought... now that would be a nice way to spend a weekend, go across the world for a weekend and be back to resume your life when Monday comes. It is funny but now that I've thought of it, it would be one of the things I would do before I die.

Anyway, to clear things up, I'm right where I am, I haven't left the country and probably would not do so for the next year or so. Recently, I've been researching and finishing a report for my developmental econ class. We were asked to adopt a developing country and know its ins-and-outs. To make the story short, the numbers we present must tell a story of the country we adopt. I chose Chile without knowing that it is the top South American country and the 5th largest economy in the South Americas. For the past few days, I've been finishing my report and reports that I need to do for other subjects also set it, so I'm basically stuck at Chile for a few days then I'm off to my Japan report then back to my Philippine report which I started two weeks ago. I feel like I'm a tourist flying around the world. It's tiring but fun... viewing and reading charts, maps, and articles.

It's around 1:30am and still I'm awake. I've come to a conclusion that I wont finish my Chile report this night but I've made progress with my other report. I finish the Japanese report. Still, the big report for Chile must be finished by tomorrow.


Au revoir.

I've been panicking about my Chile report because Prof. Monsod told the class that one random student will report on the country he adopted on tuesday. ONE RANDOM Student. One Student I can take, but ONE RANDOM...at least by the end of the day, one student will be relieved of the report and others will still continue to tremble hoping that they will(or maybe not) be next.
