i will be a student.

i don't get why the freshmen are so stressed over their enlistment when all their subjects are pre-enlisted, save for PE. labo. i swear. ang labo. PE lang yan. hello, i remember taking soccer, then aerobics for PE in 1st year, then basketball and tai chi in 2nd year. puta, basketball and pauline don't mix. hindi talaga. tai chi was fun, in fairness. i mean, if it weren't so early in the morning i wouldn't hate it as much.

i saw a comment in some facebook album: ang galing, same time and venue pa rin yung english12 and lit14 classes natin. UHM! malamang! :))

oh, being a freshman.

5 semesters later...

it's magical how my philo class is still the same time and venue. HEH.

i've gone on to better things, better jobs (no bigger rings. single pa rin ako eh). so much has happened already and i can't really say i've become so much better, but i'll get there. wait lang.

oh, btw, my B in philo was highly unexpected. i love philo and the whole time i wasn't expecting anything above a C because usually that's how those subjects are. to think i had 5 cuts (but i sat in hoping to make up for them) and my repetitios were nasty. it's such a happy thought that i'm treated well by (some) things that i'm passionate about. thanks, sir jope!

this sem:

1. BRACE THYSELF means two different things: i imagine fr. dacanay telling me to brace myself because... well, he is a legend. i also imagine myself saying "brace thyself" to the world because i, in turn, will be a legendary student.

2. i plan to be a real student. last sem was a bitch, especially prod design. UHM, B?! what the hell. i should have been a basketball player or a celebrity. theatre history would have been an A but OH WELL. sayang. it wasn't such a nice feeling to get a 3.30 hahaha. oo iniyakan ko yan ng maganda. haha. FML = fuck/fix my life. game.

3. i will attend all my classes. i used to cut whenever i felt like cutting. there was a sem when i tallied my cuts, and by the end of the sem i saw that i haven't used all my cuts yet, so i spent 3 days cutting all my classes. BAD MOVE. BAD MOVE. however, with the roster of teachers this sem, i think cutting class will not be much of an issue. after all, my subjects seem fun. my weeks will begin with missy and end with fr. dacanay (or sir lionel. or rehearsal). tuesdays and thursdays will tap my creative juices all the more, beginning with tech theatre, then philo, then directing. i feel that come directing class, my style will be influenced by philosophy. HEH.

4. i shall spend only 300 pesos in a week for 3 weeks each month. meaning i shall live by the alicia silverstone line in clueless, "i'm not gonna eat today, i'm not gonna eat tomorrow" hahaha. i have to save my allowance for voice lessons, manicures, threading, haircuts, etc.

5. i shall go to the salon only when needed. only when needed means i'm depressed / i have a show / i'm meeting someone and i want to look good / i have time.

6. i will wake up early. I WILL WAKE UP AT 7:00AM EVERY MWF AND 8:00AM EVERY TTH. it doesn't matter if i ever have a hangover or i get home late. i shall also leave the house EXACTLY AN HOUR after waking up. that means, 30mins in the bathroom, 15 mins dressing up, 10mins of breakfast time and 5mins for brushing my teeth. if any of those take long, only the breakfast time shall be sacrificed. i can make a side trip before school to get foodage.

7. i will be an active bluerepper. i also intend to keep my position for the coming school year. i will do what i can to carry out all the plans that the core has made. i will work full-time on only one production, but will check on the progress of both productions because it's part of my job. stress will not be an issue. i shall master the art of grace under pressure.

lastly,

8. I SHALL GO TO THE LIBRARY AT LEAST ONCE. it's new eh. :D
