The Q List

Whew. That was one hell of a week month. The last two weeks for me was very stressful and very tiring. So I spent the whole day resting. The results of the exam are still bothering me though. I can't help but think of it.

Good thing the Quadricentennial week is coming ahead. There will be a lot of activities in UST. I went there earlier and I saw the preparations. They were setting up two stages at the Grandstand and at Plaza Mayor. There were also tents beside the field and a huge yellow hot air balloon-like thing. Classes would not be suspended but it's still up to the professors to give permission to the students to go to the Q Fair.

In cooperation of the 400th foundation of UST, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas will release 200 peso bills with the Qudricentennial logo. There are also  UST commemorative Swatch watches and other merchandises available at the Quadri Cart located at Plaza Mayor.

I'm not sure when the commemorative bills, coins and stamps will be released but I'll make sure I can get one. I wanted the Swatch too, but it's too expensive for me. I'm also planning to buy another UST shirt to wear on the grand party. There are so many Quadri memorabilia, I wouldn't be surprised if they release Qtix: the Quadricentennial Nail Polish and Qcumber: the Quadricentennial vegetable. :))

So here's the list of events for the coming week:
