i'm joining an awesome org!

when i started my college life in UP, i vowed that i will never join any student organization. i have three main reasons for that: one, i want to focus on my studies. two, i'm too lazy to go to the activities of the org. three, i'm afraid of the application process. and so, i had my first year plain and simple. no orgs. but then i started to see that almost everybody have their own orgs. and they're all so happy about it. meeting new friends and having many fun activities. all of these made me feel that i was missing a big part of my college life. i'm tired of going home early! goodness! i want to have a social life! haha.

now that i have chosen the career path i want to take [which is being a great economist! haha.], i decided to apply to an org. good thing i have kim and sarah with me. the org i'm applying for is tadaaah: ECOSOC! i chose to join that one because i felt that the people are so nice and friendly and i think that i'll have so much fun joining them.

early today, i attended the apps orientation. i must say that ECOSOC IS REALLY FUN!!! i had a great time watching all of the committees' presentation. there was no dull moment. plus the members were uber kind and warm. i am willing to do whatever it takes to be in this org! magpapakabibo na 'ko! i won't defer, promise! and by the end of this sem, i'll be able to say that IT'S WORTH IT [just like what the other memebers were saying kanina] and i'll be a fully pledged ecosocer! itaga niyo yan sa bato! haha.

the rush of sports climbing

kanina, nagkaroon na kame ng pre-test sa sports climbing. streching streching muna kame nung una. tas pinag push-up & sit-up kame. naka-fourteen lang ako dun. haha. tas nag-umpisa na ang pagclimb. isa-isang tatawagin tas kelangan mag-climb hanggang sa kaya mo. kinabahan talaga ako kasi nga hindi naman masyado flexible ang katawan ko. medyo pinapawisan pa yung kamay ko kaya feeling ko dudulas ako at hindi makakakapit. haha. nakakahiya sa mga classmates mo kapag hindi mo man lang naabot yung second wall! haha. so yun, hinihintay ko yung turn ko. medyo matagal. ang gagaling nung mga classmate ko. easy lang sa kanila. parang si spiderman lang. haha. ako yung pangalawa sa huli. so nag-climb na ko at kaya ko naman pala. nakaabot ako sa fourth wall! yey! nung pagbaba ko tsaka ko naramdaman yung sakit s katawan. nanginig yung arms ko! haha. sobrang masaya pala ang sports climbing! ang dame ko na rin naging friends. ang cool pa ni mam tal! haha.

ang PE na pinakamimithi

sa wakas. meron na din akong nakuhang pe.

hindi lang isa. dalawa pa! haha.

pero pahirapan naman bago ko nakuha yung mga subjects na yun.

buti na lang naisipan kong pumunta ng gym mga 1:45pm.

nakita ko ang mga kaibigan ko at sabay-sabay kame naghanap ng pe.

swerte namin dahil may nagbukas na bagong section ng sports climbing.

mga 30 mins. din siguro kameng pumila para makuha yun.

tas kelangan ko pa ng isang pe. so takbo kame sa judo room para sa team building.

grabeh. public humilitation muna bago kame tinanggap nung prof.

okay lang. mukhang masaya naman yung class. good luck sa 'kin sa sem na to.

matutupad ko na rin ang pangarap kong latin honors! wohoo!

i just need to concentrate with my studies. no more crammings. haha.

in three years time i'll be able to finish with a master's degree.

and hopefully i can get a PhD in Massachusetts Institute of Technology!

sana mangyari lahat ng yun. haha.

first day 2nd sem sy 07-08

nov. 9 - first day of classes

i don't understand why we had our first day on a friday. haha. they should've moved it on monday coz i still have subjects to enlist. argh. it's been three days and i'm not yet done with my registration. i didn't have the chance to enlist today coz i attended my classes. i was scared that i'll lose my slot if i don't. now, my only chance is to prerog. i just want 2 pe. please.

first day was quite fun. my first class is econ 102. i'm so happy that i know most of my classmates. plus my prof's super kind! she explained the course a bit then dismissed us. my next class was econ 101. it is still in the same room. haha. that means i'll be sitting in the same room for 4 straight hours! it's ok coz my prof in 101 is cool. she is not boring at all. i'm really looking forward to our future topics. i'm so loving economics!

enrollment the up diliman way!!!

haist. after three sems in upd, i've already accepted that enrollment can never be done within a day. worse is, it gets more complicated every sem. haha. like the daily batch run thing and the online teacher's prerogative. it took me a while to understand it. fyi, the daily batch run is just like the online pre-enlistment. the difference is you cannot do it at home. you can only access it through computers within upd (e.g. library, computer lab). the results will be released the next day. the teacher's prerog is a little more complicated. if you fail to get subjects during the batch run, your last resort is this. you need to go to the college where the subject you want is offered (e.g. natsci1 - CS) and enlist there if slots are still available. what i don't understand is if it goes the same way as the prerog we used to know. wherein you go to the subject you want (e.g. natsci1 8:30-10:00am CS audi) and beg for the prof to accept you. haha. good luck.

wednesday, i will get my form5a and class cards. thursday and friday, i will enlist subjects. i hope i'll be able to get the subjects during the batch run. god help me. haha.
