Early in the morning, I traveled to our school and arrived around 7 o'clock because my class was scheduled to start at 7:30. When our class began, our professor suddenly gave us a quiz about our last discussion, and I was happy to get a good score on the quiz. Afterward, she discussed the topic of IoT (Internet of Things), and I was excited because it might give me ideas for a research title. Following the discussion, our professor assigned an activity related to IoT. By the way, IoT refers to things like smartwatches, smart homes, smart cars, and other devices using technology. After submitting our work for the activity, our teacher grouped us together, and she mentioned that by the end of the semester, we needed to create something related to IoT.

After our class, we had lunch, and then we returned to school for the next subject. After the next subject, I needed to go to the library to practice chess because I was selected to represent Cebu Technological University at an event held by CTU – Danao. Before we started practicing, our teacher informed us about the requirements for participating in the event, emphasizing the importance of maintaining good grades. We also discussed our jerseys and the practice schedule. Afterward, we played to refresh our strategies, and after our practice, I went home to rest.

Today, I also needed to arrive early because if I'm late, I'll have to choose from three punishments: dancing, singing, or push-ups. After our class, it was lunchtime, but I wasn't able to join my usual group of classmates because they left in a hurry, and I didn't notice. So, I decided to join some other classmates whom I'm also close with. After lunch, we rested and waited until it was almost 12:50 before returning to our school.

We arrived at our classroom, and the activity began, which required us to draw objects based on what our teacher instructed. We were tasked with drawing the 7 wonders of the ancient world. In our group, we chose to draw the Taj Mahal, while others drew the Lighthouse of Alexandria and other 7 wonders of the ancient world.

When we started drawing, it was challenging because we had to cooperate with each other to determine how to begin our art and what needed to be done. In our group, we started by creating guidelines to find the center and draw the Taj Mahal with straight lines, so we needed a ruler to ensure accuracy. As time passed, we almost completed half of our artwork, while other groups focused on outlining or coloring their pieces.

We truly enjoyed this activity as it allowed us to find peace and enhance our imaginations. I particularly appreciate the subject of art appreciation because it helps us release stress. The stress we initially felt transformed into happiness as we watched our art come to life based on our imaginations. After an hour, our time for the subject was up, and we were happy that we finished our artwork. After our class, I went home and rested. After resting, I ate some fruits and then prepared my research titles for the title hearing scheduled for Friday.

<center><h2>FRIDAY</h2></center>

Good morning! Finally, it's Friday, and I'm excited yet a bit nervous because there's a chance our professor might not approve my proposal. While on my way, I was amazed by the beauty of what I saw, and I couldn't resist taking a photo. It felt like a sign of a promising day ahead. When I arrived at school, I prepared for our proposed title presentation. Since it was individual and presented alphabetically, I was second in our order.

When my classmate entered, I felt extremely nervous because it took so long for him to finish, and there were rumors that he also consulted other professors, which added to my anxiety. When he finally came out and his title got approved, I went in next. I presented my three titles to the professor. Unfortunately, my first and second titles were rejected because there were existing proposals. As for my third title, it was also rejected because the professor deemed it difficult to defend, emphasizing the need for it to contribute to the community. I felt really disappointed because I had prepared diligently, but my proposals weren't accepted.

Later on, I decided to accept it and thought maybe I could come up with something better aside from what I presented to our professor. As the hours passed and all the title proposals were done, only four were accepted. I wasn't as saddened anymore because I realized that rejection is part of the process. I told myself that I would make up for it next time.

After that day, since we only had a half day, I grabbed a meal before heading home. Upon arriving, I experienced a severe headache due to the day's events, so I decided to rest and clear my mind. The lesson I learned today is that one should not give up easily; one must continue to fight through life's challenges, and allowing yourself to be defeated will hinder your growth. Thank you for reading my blog. As a student, I hope you enjoyed it, and I wish you all a pleasant day.
