first week: i am dead
the first week of my dreading college life has passed. why am i describing it as dreading? well its really one heck of a burden! i don't know but on my part it trully is. sometimes i can't help but compare myself to my former hs classmates. like were all freshies right? but damn, why don't
they have to do the things im doing such as reading gargantuous piles of readings and stuff? oh it really isn't fair.
honestly my first week really came in as a shock. of course i have prepared myself to what can happen, be it inside the room or during my vacant time. maybe as of now i can consider my social science 2 as my biggest fear. why? because i am the only freshman in the group. my classmates are like in their third and final year. another is because of the thousands of
readings. well yes i love to read, but of course i read with great interest. well im not saying that i am not at all interested in the course, why on earth would i have chosen it then, but its just that reading a lot of related articles about it at once and like participating in class discussions just makes me a little bit nervous.
oh well i guess that is just how Up life is. well there are really great changes in me now. aside from reading advance topics in my various subjects, i now often go to the library. during my high school days i barely went there. i only did during assemblies and meetings of the student
council. but all in all, i didnt go there to read, well if i did i think id die, its like a sauna you know.
another is i now know how to use the OPAC, oh well dont mind its meaning, i dont know it either. its like a program in our library used to search for books and stuff. it would be easier for a student to know where that specific book is located, which section and if it is in the main library or in the different college libraries.
di ba sosyal ang UP?i am also the flash. hehehe... i have to walk as fast as i can all the way from the third floor of AS to the fifth floor of CAL for my next class. too bad if my prof dismisses us late, and if ever i arrive there, my other prof has already checked the attendance. well what could be better? of course vice versa.
but i guess the saddest part of all is that i dont have any companion during my vacant period. because we dont really have the same classmates for our subjects. its part of the RGEP, where students choose what subjects they want to take, so of course new set of classmates for everybody. well that is unless you and your friends enlisted for the same subject.actually
i have talked to kim about accompanying me during my vacant. we will see...
on the other hand, its really nice to see familiar faces. former students of magsaysay, people i met during the boys and girls week, people i have competed with in various contests and of course my hs friends.but of course there is still that feeling of missing your other hs friends. but thats how it is. we all have to take different courses of life. sad but true.
i know i WILL survive UP. im just not used to everything right now that is why im feeling a bit uneasy. i know its only the start. but once i get used to it, i know ill make. if others did, so will i!
