Priority things first. The last two weeks I concentrated on cramming for the AIMS exams. Next two weeks (or maybe three or four), I will concentrate on my studies. I haven't been to school in fifteen years and it's kinda tough. That's giving away my age.
(I posted in straight english because I read here somewhere that it's advisable to post in english. Masunuring bata e. Hirap pala. hehe)
