isang linggo sa pamantasan.

for other's information, I'm attending Gen. Education Course at Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (University of the City of Manila). Why Gen. Ed? Annually, freshmen must take up this program before they proceed to their desire field. It is use to base the capabilities of students whether they have the 'brain' to face the miticulous training at Pamantasan.

Now, expect me to post during mondays or tuesdays. It is for one thing, I need to concentrate myself into studies. I have no such enough time to check the internet from time to time because even in my studying time, I lack. Career-in ang pagiging scholar.

Maybe, you're thinking na napaka-OA ko. I'm not being OA, I'm just complying with the rules. What rules? It's the rules regarding the curriculum of the school. They are so strict. Summer classes are not/ never offered to the students who failed during the year. You know what will happen to those students? They are kicked out of the school. Worse, they need to repeat first year in other schools because the subjects offered by the Pamantasan is so unique that it will not be credited to other school (maybe some). Now, let's talk about the grades. In order to meet Accountancy, I must have a General Weight Average of 1.85 (way to high, right?) I think it's equivalent to 88-90%. It's not just Accountancy, Nursing is a much harder battle. One must get a GWA of 1.75.

I must use my time wisely. I got modules that we will use for one sem only but it was really thick just for one sem. Our midterm is on last week of July, I guess.

Blockmates a.k.a classmates. Well, I'm with new hommies. Joke. hindi gangsta mga tao dun. Honestly, panis tlga laway ko nung first 3 days. Nahihiya talaga ako. Oo, meron akong hiya kahit konti. Bwahahaha. Just imagine, I'm the only one who went to that university in our batch. My classmates mostly came from public schools in Manila. We don't have the Valedictotians and Salutatorians in our class, but the 4th Honorables are there. You know what, I admire them most inspite of garnering the same spot during our graduations because, they're in public. There are differences in culture. They have 7-10 sections in their batch and we only have three. So, they have more competitions. That's why I admire them.

There are this two people that talked a lot with. They told me very fascinating stories that lack my jaw for a minute. One was Joannah, she became a delegate in South Korea for the APEC Robotics Competition. They invented the JR Robot (Janitor Robot.) I think, they were featured on TV. Well, it was 2006 pa. Luckily, they won pa the first prize. They were two in the team then yung partner niya is from Novaliches High. Ang liit tlga ng mundo.

Another was a member of Manila Dance Group. They were able to perform in Taiwan. She also shared na she has ballet lessons from MDG.It means na marunong siyang magsplit at magtiptoe. Ang sakit nga daw e. Tapos, she know a lot of dance. She's a professional dancer. She's Kris.

I have classes from Monday 'til Saturdays except Tuesdays. That's why I have free time on Tuesdays. We wear civillian temporarily now. We were given 2 mos. to ensure our uniforms. So, sa August 11, full-time PLMayer na ako. weh? hahhah

From North to South, I'm travelling 3-4 hours a day. Every morning, I have my service. It's our family friend who works at Manila Hotel. Opposite bound, I'll be communting via jeep. I'm saving money for the future. You know, it really helps a lot.

Well, my college life started like this, I hope it will be better each day.
