Learned Lessons on How to Stay Sane

Whew! At last! A break from toxicity! I would give anything (almost anything) just to experience and/or prolong this moment. After what I've been through this past three days you won't blame me for being so happy...

Being a U.P. student it is normal to experience the Hell Week. I had my share of hell this past week. And I learned several lessons...here they are...

Never--I mean never, volunteer to do the photocopying for the whole class. Especially if that class is not your block. Meaning your classmates for that subject do not know you personally. Those classmates can be easily fooled you know. They will have a notion that you are super responsible and they will choose you to be the leader of your class if ever the need occurs.

Be discreet and do not attract too much attention to yourself. If you can, try not to be the highest during the exams. Well, being the highest is a good thing, what follows afterwards is not.

Do not joke too much with the teacher. Serious responsibilty is underway if you get too much comfortable with the teacher. hehe...

Do not volunteer to be the leader. (NEVER DO THIS!!!! You'll hate yourself afterwards...)

Do not initiate. I've learned that having the first moves is heavy for the pocket, especially for my cellphone load. I usually connect with my groupmates through text, and there is no such thing as an absolute free text. Also, sometimes, you have to call them.

Cherish your PE classes. Especially if they do not force you to pass papers and review for an examination. They can ba good stress reliefs so that you won't have to resort to smoking (ehem!).

Choose at least one teacher that doesn't attend his class but is generous enough to give you a 1.5 at the very least. CAUTION: Do this on GE subjects only. Future knowledge will be at risk if abused.

Do not choose a 7am class if you have a magnetic attraction to your bed. Especially the one that gives a quiz and a graded recitation every class. Might as well suffer the pains of late registration than a whole semester of this. Believe me! On my case, I WAS really forced to attend my 7am class becasue there is an incentive to those who will have a complete attendance. I'm proud to say that I'm one of them.

Do not encourage your teacher to do some extra activity for the class. By extra, I mean exhibits, exhibits and exhibits. If ever your teacher will have the notion of such, discourage him as much as possible the moment the idea is conceived.

Rallies are a very good excuse to skip class. But do this only if you are dense enough and if you are good at doing reaction papers at least 2 pages long/short. Recently, we have been told to pass a paper of 8-10 pages as a substitute for an exam that we want to postpone. Personally, I do not know if we have outwitted our professor at this. Oh well, what's done is done.

Go to the mall as much as possible during those times of the semester that the teachers are still comprehending the torture techniques and devices that they will use on the students. The memories of such escapades are useful when you are tied, voluntarily or not, to your desk facing a laptop.

Install as much games as you can on your computer. Aside from smoking and P.E. classes, they are good strees reliefs too. However, never share your password to all your associates in your place ( in my case, dormitory). Because if you do this, the password will lose its value and use. For my part, it's alright to share because I have nice roommates and dormmates (*wink). What if one day you realize that your password is no longer working because somebody change it? tsk, tsk. That would be bad right?

Do not, again, DO NOT, do an entire research paper alone and in a single night. Sanity is in great danger if you do this. This, is largely connected to...

...sleep is an essential part of being human. Although by sleeping we seem to waste hours of our precious time, it is very important in preventing headaches and episodes of studipity. Papers and exams are the usual culprits that hinders us from recognizing the value of sleeping. But believe me...sleeping is there for a reason...*faints

As of now, I'm experiencing the final waves of toxicity.

I keep telling myself, konti na lang...konti na lang..."

And I do hope and wish na aabot ang kung ano mang magiging GWA ko sa 1.75.

At sana din gumagawa na ko ngayon ng outline sa extempo ko...kasi kung hindi, magiging impromptu speech iyon...

ayoko sa mga topic ko...at bakit ba kailangan pang hanapan ng references ang mga persuasive speech! Damn! Pano ung sa'kin? The importance of morality in society...saan ako hahanap ng references nun?
Damn!

last night, I attended a debut. It's a nice debut for a nice person, and I am so not gonna shw you the pictures! (ask Zai why...) Also, one good thing that happened is that I have a key for Roan's dormitory. Hah! It's because of my dorm being so strict and all. Di daw kasi kasama sa late pass ang birthdays. Dapat acad stuff lahat. DAMN! Don't you hate it when they say that? Kahit saan ba kailangan sinusundan ako ng word na ACADS? DAMN!

Okei, change topic. For my convenience and yours too, iiwasan ko i-mentin ang A**DS stuff (what's that stuff mark? hehe). we spent the night at roan's place, and quite conveniently, wala siya doon kasi kailangan niyang ilipat ang video nila sa interview in a cd (napupunta uli tau sa forbidden word...). Anyway, w eat (a lot!) before we sleep. And then we overslept. Leave the place and I'm really should be doing my outline now! OKei, bye!

P.S. Gusto kong pasabugin ang DSS at DAC! Magsabay-sabay daw ba bukas! May extempo tapos may exam sa econ tapos may test sa POLSCI! PAno ka mag-susurvive nyan? Ano ko henyo? (medyo!) tapos ang kapal kong mag-internet dito...tsk...tsk...

Waste of Time

I want to make a rather harsh blog entry, but somehow I can't put myself into it...

To make things short...

Sana naman bago tau magsalita isipin muna natin kung may masasagasaan ka...

Akala ko pa naman naiintindihan mo ang pinaglalaban namin dahil kahit papaano, POLSCI ka.

Kung ayaw mong makialam sa pulitika natin, nasa sa iyo yun. Hindi ka naman nag-iisa. Marami kayong indifferent. Dahil that's how your parents brought you up right? Well, our parents taught us to be critical about the things that are happening around us. We want to be a part of the bigger world--the real world. At kung ano mang pinaglalaban namin sa mga rallies, I'm sorry to tell you, apektado ka rin. As long as Filipino ang nilalagay mo sa nationality mo, kahit ano pa mang estado mo sa buhay, apektado ka pa rin.

Hindi biro ang pagrarally. Di mo maiintindihan dahil mas gusto mong umuwi na lang para manood ng kung anong bagay d'yan. Kung ikukumpara mo ang mga pinaggagawa natin, mas worthwile ang ginagawa ko no. Ang ginagawa namin, makakaapekto sa mas maraming tao. Ang ginagawa mo may mabuti bang nadudulot?

Again, we respect it kung ayaw mo sa mga bagay na pinaglalaban namin, but watch your mouth. What you did was very foul. Wag mong iparamdam samin na nilalabanan namin ang budget cut para sa mga taong tulad mo...

Yun lang. Napakamild.

note: Wag mag-assume ang mga makakabasa nito. I doubt na babasahin ito ng taong involve. *sigh*

I think i should start a reserving agency or something, 'coz everybody seems to be asking me to reserve venues one after another...

Also, next time that i go to a rally, I'll be sure to bring a soap and shampoo with me...and towel and clothes. Para di sayang ung tubig na ipapang-disperse nila sa'min...kung sakali lang naman. hehe... ;)

Bye...gtg.

Guess What?

I'm back. But this doesn't mean that my academic responsibilities are thinning. On the other hand, they keep on replicating that I have to think twice if they are really non-living things. Anyway, I decided to visit my blog today because I do not have any class tomorrow. That means that I have all the time to spare until tomorrow. Also, I miss my blog so much.

You know that I always hate mondays. We can call it MondayHate if you want to. BUt I really don't like mondays, especially during this sem that I actually have to attend a super-early class of COMM3 (that 7 am) and arriving at my dorm at about 8:30 pm. YOu wouldn't blame me for hating mondays right?

In Burn's class today, I don't think that we are able to give a very satisfactory group discussion performance. I want to make it clear that I'm not blaming anybody. It's okay with me because I've lost all interest in Burn's class weeks ago. The only reason that I'm attending his class is because he told us that he will give additional .25 to those who can complete their attendance. And I have a perfect attendance as of now. Sayang naman diba?

Other classes did go well. My class at NatSci4 is an ordinary one, only that I've talk to Mr. Sarino already (Mr. Sarino and Mr. Latsika--i don't now about the spelling) is the leader of the other Natsci4 class and we are supposed to coordinate the natsci classes in an event called Environmental Geology Day.

Econ is normal as ever. I finally understood what my teacher in Economy during 4th year high school is cramming into my head. I can't believe it is as simple as that. I was so bewildered about Macroeconomics during highschool! But now that I've think of it, I'm bewildered about the whole econ thing during highschool! At least ngayon, naiintindihan ko na kahit papaano. I really hate econ during my highschool years. Kaya nga hindi ko siya kinuhang pre-law eh...If I only knew...tsk...tsk...

We managed to launch the symposium about "The role of the youth in the current political crisis" successfully. At first I was skeptic that it will turn out good. Well, I was wrong and I have to say that we had a very nice symposium.

That's evrything (ok, not entirely everything) that happened to me today. And aside form a disappointment becasue the comfort rooms in our floor is clogged, the day turned out fine...
