school schmool. i've just been in it for less than three weeks but i already find the whole routine tedious. :|


these days, i scramble hard for the time i'll ever get to use the computer. most days upon arriving home i'd just eat and then drop dead. i recently converted to the religion called Napping, because most surprisingly i've found the wonderful sensation of siesta making me less cranky -- but then more lazy. (i've never had regular afternoon naps since when -- prep?) waking up early is still not my thing, after more a year.


fine, i'll put in a good word for junior year life: it's more loose yet paradoxically stringent. thank heavens we don't have those time-consuming PE and NSTP anymore. comp3 may be a bane, but then we'll live through it. (next sem we'll have totally morning classes only!) ... no more general education courses, to be replaced by holy departmental ones (except math) and i wonder if it's a good thing altogether. seems like we're really in some business school, huh? if we're not crunching numbers (12 hours a week!) then we'll be blabbering about business law, and if not that then we'll be mumbling about stocks and shares. (good thing BA's keeping me sane. if not... !) ... have i actually envisioned myself 10 years back that i'll be this serious?


speaking of law, i can't help but feign a bit of annoyance at it. i like the subject - i really do - but i always find myself as less than an ignoramus whenever i read AND memorize all those legal lexicon. what's the use of reading if i don't understand half of what it's saying? just have to keep reading, reading, reading and envisioning myself as those guys from "Ally McBeal", "The Practice", "Justice", etc. oh man, it's going to be a long day. (off-topic: the Fed graces the cover of my lovely law 'journal'... for much-needed inspiration haha!)


org talk: aside from being a mandatory member of JPIA, my friend Laarnie & i signed up for our university's Spanish club -- Circulo Hispano Tomasino! i wish there was some French club around (let me initiate that!), though this is the closest we can get. we'll be having some language tutorials (when does it start?) and a movie festival in September... i'm quite excited! maybe after a year i can speak simple Español faster than you can say "¡Comer mi polvo!" (according to GT, that's "Eat my dust!") hahaha! =p


and now i'm torn between hello and/or goodbye for AJ. pondering wasn't enough, i had to think out loud on several occasions for the past 6 days... i think my friend's getting the wind of it. one moment i'm adamant on joining, the next i'm flailing to back out. i swear, working for a student publication is no mean feat... i've been through it to say what a degree of laboriousness it would entail. but everytime i hear that announcement, and whenever fellow classmates encourage me to join i'm simply torn. i know i'd be missing a lot if i don't go for it (hence no more chance for an elevator pass! harhar), i'm just worried for the consequences. :|


... so to put the issue to a rest, i'll take the qualifying exam this Wednesday (i wonder if they accept late applicants) -- 'cause there's no harm in trying, right? and if i pass, only time will tell if i can bear it.


we'll be having a majority of 'first batch quizzes' for the week, so here i am posting early! hope i'll be diligent enough the rest of the time to get a good start! (goal: 1 for the 2 ACCs!) =)

Libellés : college
