First Day Shiznit

Contrary to what I initially thought, this semester just might be the most tiring one I'll have so far! I designed my schedule (as if I could really design it) so that my TTh subjects are minimal or none at all. Consequently, my MWFs are now SUPER packed with 5 subjects. I have only one one-hour break for the whole day. EVERY hour counts. Gohd, the day feels so long. I feel like I've been in school for a month already. LOL.

But it's fine. Complaining stops here. haha.

A lot of the Humanities teachers ask me how I'm related to Atty. Lorna Kapunan. Last semester, Ma'am Soledad Reyes asked me how I knew her. It kind of happens every semester. If not the Atty, the Judge Kapunan. All I can say is, I'm sorry I cannot live up to the names of these people no matter how closely or distantly related I am to them. I'm just... Sammie Kapunan. I'm a shame to the name, I know. haha. Not that it's a laughing matter. LOL. Anyway, I mentioned this because my National Artist teacher asked me awhile ago if my mother was a lawyer, and I said no. And he asked me if the lawyer Kapunan was my aunt, and I said she's the wife of my uncle (I was attempting to clarify that I was not related to her by blood. LOL. But it was a stupid answer, I know!). And then he said, "Oh she's your aunt nga. Bruha ka." Hahaha. Well I laughed because the way he said it didn't seem like he was seriously condemning me.. Bruha nga naman ako kasi ang labo ko kausap. haha. But she's not my aunt daw. I think she's one more generation ahead of me. ANYWAY. I just had to share it because I encounter these questions every semester and I don't really know how to answer them. I think every time I say that I'm related to these people, I bring shame to their names. harhar :D So there.

Whew.
