um, did i say i was going to confirm today for enrolling in ust? but of course! :D it was great: the weather wasn't that hot (but still, i sweated), i ate my happy lunch (kfc!), the 'thingy' failed my notion of waiting for hours with loads of noise and tension, i was able to finish within one hour ('coz i'm one of the 2-dozen firsts heehee), AND i did the 'thingy' myself. heck, what was so damn important about the last? well, being a scaredy-cat in a new school (and being so ignorant in these), i felt i might do something absolutely terrible (screwed-up is more like it) or feel lost / confused / chickened being alone. but it wasn't, again, my notion. ahhh... we first filled-up the data sheet, then present the requirements and voila! you'll be back on april 20 (at least it wasn't 25!!!! or else!!!!). they also oriented us about the required 1-year NSTP (national service training program?! just a guess), where you have to choose between ROTC (no way! i have had ENOUGH of cat), CWS (community service... uh, my allergies... can't stand paint and dust... honestly!) or LTS (something about teaching? i dunno.) maybe i'll pick LTS because of the "teaching" part... and it's not like you're drilling under the sun or sweeping smoggy, but i still have to do some research. and also, the first two years of my degree will ONLY be PRE-COM. i will have to take Qualifying Exams for Majors, either in: a) Accountancy, b) Business Administration, c) Economics, or d) Entrepreneurship. and hell, you KNOW what i WANT. the girl said that the QE for letter A won't be as easy as the remaining three, and in her words: "Last year, only 200 out of 600 passed." but, come on, i CAN make it! (there's nothing better than a good ego. ;p) i'd have to do so for THIS IS MY LIFE.

out of this seemingly fine day, i felt glad. for the first time, i feel excited about what's in store for me these next four years, walking a hopefully great path and carving my dreams and goals on solid ground. or just laying out the groundwork. whatever it takes... i hope that i will enjoy both my studies and my stay in ust, and be on the 11am-3pm schedule. (no guarantees? how evil!!!) :)

oh, and a note to self: i have amazingly BIG arms. due to excessive slobbiness, my arms now will somehow look like those salva vida floaty things kids wear on their arms while swimming. well, at least i won't drown in my lard of fats! haha! (lol). WILL at least stretch my arms every morning.

("bouncing baboons"???? nah, i just invented that, a spin-off of ron weasley's "leaping lizards!" .. finished reading "order of the phoenix" for the 2nd time. oh severus! ;-) )
